X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The concept of sensors and processing is u
 ndergoing many changes due to major strides in electronics and communicati
 ons. The current notion of measurement follows the idea of &ldquo\;measure
  everything&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;measure all times\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;measure 
 from anywhere&rdquo\; has challenged the researchers to re-examine how sen
 sing is done\, sensed data is managed and information is extracted. Curren
 tly\, research is focussed on developing sensors that are (a) cheaper so t
 hat they can be easily deployed everywhere\, (b) physically &ldquo\;small&
 rdquo\; and unobstrusive\, (c) wireless and able to communicate &ldquo\;on
  demand&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;at will&rdquo\;\, (d) low powered (&ldquo\;gre
 en&rdquo\;)\, (e) able to preprocess the data before communicating\, (f) a
 ble to self identify\, self validate\, self calibrate and\, be fault toler
 ant. Smart sensing and Sensing smartly becomes crucial in this connected w
 orld. &ldquo\;Intelligence&rdquo\; at sensing\, communicating and processi
 ng levels are desired in all applications. With all these advancement\, on
 e has to make a hard choice between quality of data and quantity of data. 
 Quality is dependent on the type of sensing (contact or non-contact) while
  quantity may be attributed to ubiquitous nature of sensing. Quantity and 
 quality of sensed data affect the extraction and interpretation of informa
 tion. Furthermore\, when processing is outsourced\, issues of privacy and 
 security become an issue. In all\, is sensing in the connected world: A cu
 rse or a boon?</p>
