Abstract

We visualize the world as a fully connected information space where each object communicates with all other objects without any temporal and geographical constraints. We can model this fully connected space using fine granularity processing which can be implemented using sensors technology. We regard sensors as atomic computing particles which can deployed to geographical locations for capturing and processing data of their surrounding. This report introduces a number of excellent research articles which present unique problems and their success in finding efficient solutions for them. It also peeks in to the future of ever changing information processing discipline.
