    A Survey on Security in Wireless Sensor Networks: Attacks and Defense Mechanisms
    (IGI Global, 2013) Tekbacak, Fatih; Dağdeviren, Orhan; Dalkılıç, Mehmet Emin; Korkmaz, İlker; Dağdeviren, Orhan; 03.04. Department of Computer Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a promising technology that has attracted the interest of research in the last decade. Security is one of the fundamental issues in sensor networks since sensor nodes are very resource constrained. An attacker may modify, insert, and delete new hardware and software components to the system where a single node, a specific part of the sensing area, and the whole network may become inoperable. Thus, the design of early attack detection and defense mechanisms must be carefully considered. In this chapter, the authors survey attacks and their defense mechanisms in WSNs. Attacks are categorized according to the related protocol layer. They also investigate the open research issues and emerging technologies on security in WSNs.

    A Survey of Agent Technologies for Wireless Sensor Networks
    (Medknow Publications and Media, 2011) Dagdeviren, Orhan; Korkmaz, İlker; Dağdeviren, Orhan; Erciyeş, Kayhan; 03.04. Department of Computer Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) do not have a fixed infrastructure and consist of sensor nodes that perform sensing and communicating tasks. The WSNs have large application spectrum such as habitat monitoring, military surveillance, and target tracking, where sensor nodes may operate distributed in highly dynamic environments. Battery-constrained sensor nodes may aggregate the sensed data, localize themselves, and route the packets in an energy-efficient and decentralized manner to enable running the applications. Agents are capable of independent and autonomous action, so that they can successfully carry out tasks that have been delegated to them, thus agent-based approaches are very suitable to apply as the solution of the problems occurring in WSNs. So far many agent-based approaches were proposed for WSNs. This paper surveys the agent technologies for sensor networks by providing a classification, objectives and costs of these approaches with the open research problems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that covers the intersection of the agent technology and sensor networks from a wide perspective.
