The objective of this dissertation is to address the aforementioned challenges of sensornet messaging. Despite the extensive effort in studying sensornet messaging

This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable

We build VIRTUS upon an existing best-effort communication layer, and formally prove the functional
