WaveScope is a software platform to make it easy to develop, deploy, and operate wireless sensor networks that exhibit high data rates. In contrast to the "first generation" of wireless sensor networks that are characterized by relatively low sensor sampling rates, there are several important emerging applications in which high rates of hundreds to tens of thousands of sensor samples per second are common. These include civil and structural engineering applications, including continuous monitoring of physical structures, industrial equipment, and fluid pipelines; "Smart space" applications that continuously monitor sensors in a a space to support ubiquitous computing or security applications; and, scientific data gathering applications, such as outdoor acoustic monitoring systems for continuous habitat monitoring.
