Wireless sensor networks have emerged as an invaluable tool to bridge the gap between computing infrastructure and the physical world. While sensor networks promise to enable new next-generation wireless services, several daunting challenges remain to be overcome before their potential is realized. Using a ubiquitous healthcare application as an example, this paper discusses several such key challenges and describes research approaches to address them.
