Due to rapid growth in renewable energy resources and improvements in battery technology, power grids are undergoing major changes, which create significant management and control challenges. To tackle these challenges, decentralized solutions are needed, which can support the evolution of electrical power distribution systems.

Sensor networks monitoring spatially-distributed physical systems often comprise battery-powered sensor devices. To extend lifetime, battery power may be conserved using sleep scheduling: activating and deactivating some of the sensors from time to …

Owing to their low deployment costs, wireless sensor networks (WSN) may act as a key enabling technology for a variety of spatially distributed cyber-physical system (CPS) applications, ranging from intelligent traffic control to smart grids. …
