Condition
The goal		The students will be introduced to the current technologies, practical implementations as well as to the state of the art research of wireless sensors networks. Concepts, architecture, applications and E2E (end to end) protocols in wireless sensors networks will be studied in details. Wireless sensors network design and integration into the communication networks will be analyzed.
The outcome		After completion of the course the students will be able to: - participate in the realization and implementation of wireless sensor network - participate in the integration of wireless sensor network with communication systems - use existing testbeds for conducting of experiments
