Looking toward the future, the technology seems even more promising in two directions. First, a few years from now more powerful wireless sensor devices will be available, and wireless sensor networks will have applicability in an endless number of scenarios, as they will be able to handle traffic loads not possible today, make more computations, store more data, and live longer because of better energy sources. Second, a few years from now, the opposite scenario might also be possible. The availability of very constrained, nanotechnology-made wireless sensor devices will bring a whole new world of applications, as they will be able to operate in environments and places unimaginable today. These two scenarios, at the same time, will both bring new research challenges that are always welcome to researchers.

The field of wireless sensor networks continues to evolve and grow in both practical and research domains. More and more wireless sensor networks are being used to gather information in real life applications. It is common to see how this technology is being applied in irrigation systems, intelligent buildings, bridges, security mechanisms, military operations, transportation-related applications, etc. At the same time, new developments in hardware, software, and communication technologies are expanding these possibilities. As in any other technology, research brings new developments and refinements and continuous improvements of current approaches that push the technology even further.
