Future mobile wireless sensors networks technology such as smart dust may seem like science fiction but its making its way from research laboratory to enterprise.
What is smart dust? It’s a new technology that might shape our future in ways never thought imaginable. Think of your computer that you’re using and think of that same computer, fitted into the dimensions of an American quarter. That’s roughly what smart dust, also known as microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) is.
Smart dust has four basic subsystems requirements: power, computation, sensor and communication. The initial idea of smart dust was to miniaturise sensors and unite them with wireless communication technology to form network devices that can deliver a stream of data from each of the sensors and integrate them that can collect, analyse and store data and create an intelligent response.
Applications of smart dust include tracking enemy movements in military operations, battlefield surveillance, transportation monitoring, factory, instrumentations, climatic control, environmental monitoring, building safety and automation, security systems etc.
In this research I want to focus on the architecture and working of Smart Dust, future trends, various applications of smart dust technology, and some of the issues in Smart Dust.
Introduction
The current technologies are focusing on automation and miniaturization. Minimizing computing device in size, shapes, increased connectivity, and enhanced interaction with the physical world have characterized technology. Recently, the popularity of computers and cell phones, Internet Growth, and the diminishing size and cost of sensors have accelerated these trends. Similarly advances in wireless communicat...

...d, crunchy and gritty with a thin layer of dust with every serving; from consuming such gravely meals, people often developed fragmented teeth. Driving and operating outdoor machinery became a huge hazard since the dust decreased visibility significantly. Because the dust carried so much static electricity, anything metallic – such as mills, pump handles, cooking pans, and doorknobs – would give the person in contact a harsh electric shock. Those outdoors would have to wear gas masks in order to prevent illnesses such as dust pneumonia and to prevent inhalation of dust. Dust contains a high amount of silica, but when inhaled for increasingly long periods of time, the silica began to coat the inside of the human body, unambiguously pursuing to coat the entire respiratory system. (Carson and Bonk 1). For most, the dust bowl was the most miserable time of their life.
The dust mostly comes from farming and the agricultural the farmers learned to keep their crops healthy and looking good to eat. (Methods Prevent Another Dust Bowl) "From the perspective of agricultural changes, irrigation was huge" (About The Dust Bowl) The agricultural devastation helped to lengthen the Depression whose effects were felt worldwide. Poor agricultural practices and years of sustained drought caused the Dust Bowl. But since the Dust Bowl, many farmers have figured out new ways that would not make the Dust Bowl comeback ever

The computing industry as a whole becomes more prosperous, exciting and attractive as an employment prospect each day. It spans a wide range of modern applications, as does my interest in the subject. I see computing science as a gateway into new realms of computing, where the highly challenging and demanding work may reap rewards of an equivalent level.
Even materials containing small amounts of crystalline silica may be hazardous if they are used in ways that produce high dust concentrations.

The world has gone through a lot of changed as time passes by. With advancements in the technological field people are can communicate with ones from around the world without having to even lift a finger. To make things more efficient and more cost saving industries have made technology wireless. Wireless technology gives people the chance to get up from their stationary computer, or cord phone and able to freely move without restrictions. The IT, or Information Technology has become a standard and very critical part of today’s society. Wireless technology came from the basic just cellular usage to sensors in the medical field. Wires are now a thing of the past in today’s world with forever revitalizing technology.
The customer is the most important for the marketer in order to sell the products in the market. With SmartThings decision making process is determined by the wants or needs of the customers and also about the behavior and service of marketer. In the issue of SmartThings, marketers try to segment markets in ways that may help them to guide and manage relationships with targeted customers. The target segment reflects the cognitive consumer and also the emotional consumer. SmartThings customers inputs are influenced by the factors of the marketing mix activities. Product and Promotion go hand and hand in the influence of decision making process of SmartThings. SmartThings are trying to have a direct attempt to reach, inform and persuade consumers to buy and use the product. The inputs to the consumers’s decision-making process take the form of specific marking mix strategies that consists of the product itself; mass-media advertising, direct marketing, personal selling, and other efforts. In the target segment it is likely to occur that the consumer is faced with the “problem” of recognizing if it is truly a need. With a product such as SmartThings, consumers are in a dilemma with the actual state of the product and the desired state of the products. For example, if the Hub with SmartThings doesn’t connect correctly with your smart phone that would a problem with the product that fails to perform satisfactorily. In contrast, if the consumer is looking new trendy products may trigger the decision process. SmartThings message is turning your home into a Smart House in other to make a living better. The segment of making individuals who are looking for convenient security for their house and family, the message is focused on the expec...
Wireless is everywhere today whether at home working from your WIFI network to work where you might be linked a wireless network or even through your phone through a 3G or 4G network to connecting to an open wireless networks.

Since the invention of the cell phones, in 1973, it has quickly become the most popular device used especially today during the twenty-first century. Due to its hands-free-easy-to-use design, the amount of people that own a cell phone is rapidly increasing. The useful text messaging feature has proved to be extremely useful in current times. Along with these helpful features, the cell phone is easily accessible and more portable. The majority of phone companies offer a 3G or 4G data plan, meaning internet access can be found on your phone almost anywhere, at any time. In addition to its easy portability, the cell phone is a very useful and helpful device, allowing one to stay connected to the outer world. “With a smartphone, you can connect to the Web from virtually anywhere.

In larger models, the dust may be collected in a special container . There, dust sticks together into a very dense clump that is easy to throw out. Of course, no need to replace
