Our paper, "A Technology Review of Smart Sensors with Wireless Networks for Applications in Hazardous Work Environments", started in early 2005. It was finally published on April 1st 2007. Why did it take two years to see the light of day?The approvals were lost in the bureaucratic never-never land then finally found. Next, the paper was very misunderstood because they saw the word "wireless" which they associated with wireless communications needed for disasters such as Sago, rather than for Sensors Networks, that the paper was initially aiming at.
As two years is a long time when dealing with technology, I set up the site http://www.wearablesmartsensors.com/ to augment the paper with new information that has become available since 2005.
I want to thank my coauthors John Sammarco, Edward Fries, and Vijia Karra, who have put far more time and effort in to the paper that I ever could have.
