Wireless sensor networks are about to be part of everyday life. Homes and workplaces capable of
self-controlling and adapting air-conditioning for different temperature and humidity levels 
sleepless forests ready to detect and react in case of a fire  vehicles able to avoid sudden
obstacles or possibly able to self-organize routes to avoid congestion  and so on  will
probably be commonplace in the very near future. Mobility plays a central role in such systems
and so does passive mobility  that is  mobility of the network stemming from the environment
itself. The population protocol model was an intellectual invention aiming to describe such
systems in a minimalistic and analysis-friendly way. Having as a starting-point the inherent
limitations but also the fundamental establishments of the population protocol model  we try in
this monograph to present some realistic and practical enhancements that give birth to some new
and surprisingly powerful (for these kind of systems) computational models. Table of Contents:
Population Protocols   The Computational Power of Population Protocols   Enhancing the model  
Mediated Population Protocols and Symmetry   Passively Mobile Machines that Use Restricted
Space   Conclusions and Open Research Directions   Acronyms   Authors' Biographies
