The rapid progress of mobile/wireless communication and embedded
microsensing MEMS technologies leads us toward the dream “Ubiquitous/
Pervasive Computing.” Wireless local-area networks (WLANs) have
been widely deployed in many cities and have become a requisite tool to
many people in their daily lives. Wireless personal-area networks (WPANs)
provide a cableless personal working area by using wireless interconnection
among devices, such as personal computer, printer, personal digital
assistant, and digital camera. A wireless sensor node is an integrated device
which consists chiefly of a sensor part, a wireless communication part, and
an information processing unit. Wireless sensor nodes can be deployed
in a sensing field to monitor events that we are interested in. In particular,
the human body could be a potential sensing field. By backing
events in the body area, wearable sensor networks may greatly improve
our daily life. By integrating these multidiscipline technologies into a pervasive
system, we can access information and acquire computing resources
anytime, anywhere with any device.
