Since using visibility graphs in robotics is very time-consuming, professionals have taken to using parallel models-this book addresses the main issues concerning visibility-related problems in parallel models of computation, as well as their current and prospective future applications Discusses visibility problems in technology and scientific research, manufacturing industries, the healthcare industry, telemedicine, homeland security, and many others Includes mesh-based multi-computers, coarse-grain computers, triangulation problems and object visibility algorithms

Topics in Wireless Networks covers the area of wireless networks both based on preexisting and non-preexisting infrastructure. The topics addressed cover cellular and satellite networks and ad-hoc and sensor networks that do not rely on pre-existing infrastructure, covering physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, including localization and quality of service issues.
