Practical applications and design challenges of wireless heterogeneous sensor networks

Heterogeneous, {hetero + genos 'type', from Greek), is defined in Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary as "consisting of many different kinds of people or things" and defined in Longman Dictionary as "consisting of parts or members that are very different from each othe...
