Articles and Internet Resources

The amount of good information offered in book form is dwarfed by that available through magazine articles and by additional material found on the Web. These links represent just a sampling of what’s available:

Sensors magazine covers both intelligent and standard sensor technologies and is an excellent source of information for both sensor technology and the sensor markets. The January, 2003 issue included an article written by Creed Huddleston entitled Digital Signal Controllers Turn Thermocouples into Superstars that discusses the use of intelligent sensing techniques to significantly improve the quality of temperature measurements in harsh environments.

For research and insights into the intelligent device market, Harbor Research, Inc. is an excellent site to visit.

M2M magazine focuses on the machine-to-machine device market and thus offers significant coverage of the intelligent sensor segment, which is a subset of the larger M2M market.

For more theoretical approaches to intelligent sensing problems, two good places to start are Texas A&M’s PRISM (Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Sensor Machines) site, which includes a host of lecture notes and presentations, and the ARC Research Network on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP).
