CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS, special issue on
"Control over Wireless Networks: Foundations, Networking, Applications"
Wireless technologies, nowadays a commodity in personal and data
communication, have the potential of providing significant benefits in
factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating
makes plant setup and modification easier, more flexible and cheaper. It
provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile robots or
mobile plant subsystems where fixed cables are in constant danger of
breaking. The industrial interest in wireless solutions is growing rapidly,
standardization efforts such as Wireless HART and ISA 100 are underway, and
hardware for embedded wireless is dropping in price. It can therefore be
expected that wireless technologies will be integrated into distributed
control systems on a broad scale. However, there are still open issues about
data security, reliability and performance of the wireless control loop that
may limit the rate of adoption.
The goal of the special section is to attract theoretical and practical
papers attacking the main issues and problems regarding the adoption of
wireless technologies for networked control, ranging from theoretical
foundations to the reporting of implementation experiences and applications.
The results must be original and previously unpublished. Substantially
extended versions of conference papers will also be considered for
publication.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Industrial wireless networking for efficient, reliable and timely data
transmission: low-layer (MAC/link/physica-layer) protocols and multi-hop
(routing, transport) protocols
* Theory and methodology for reliable and robust wireless networked control
* Novel solutions for re-configurable, resilient and fault tolerant wireless
control
* Security for industrial wireless systems
* Middleware and higher-layer support for wireless networked control systems
* Hybrid wired/wireless networked control systems
* Experiences from industrial deployments of wireless control
* Innovative wireless networked control applications
