Embedded Networked Sensing Potential

• Embedded Networked Sensing will reveal previously unobservable phenomena

– Micro-sensors, on-board processing, wireless interfaces feasible at very small scale--can monitor phenomena “up close”

– Enables spatially and temporally dense environmental monitoring.
