spur ubiquitous computing researches. Smart dust is a tiny dust size device with extra-ordinary capabilities. Smart dust combines sensing‚ computing‚ wireless communication capabilities and autonomous power supply within volume of only few millimeters and that too at low cost. These devices are proposed to be so small and light in weight that they can remain suspended in the environment like an ordinary dust particle. These properties of Smart Dust will render it useful in monitoring real
