Special Issue on
Wireless Sensor Networks: From Theory to Practices and Applications
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is characterized by the dense deployment
of sensor nodes that continuously observe physical phenomenon. The main
advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment,
self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous
interests of various research communities, and significant progresses
have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development,
wireless communication and networking, application signal and
information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and
design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and
development.
The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting
applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor
network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in
smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are
required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw
sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are
required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning
algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor
environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient
wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed
air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and
enhance occupant comfort.
Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological
challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and
network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be
resource constrained and the network protocols should be
application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an
integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the
lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or
optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms
and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local
processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to
achieve complex overall network goal.
This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on
Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control
Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which
received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly
addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control
systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this
special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and
application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices
on platform development, network deployment, and system operational
lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
* WSN theoretic approaches:
- Distributed and collaborative signal processing
- Target detection, classification, and tracking
- Network modeling and optimization
- Sensor tasking, control, and actuation
- Coverage and topology control
- Adaptive and mobile sampling
- Consensus estimation and cooperation
* WSN applications:
- Healthcare monitoring
- Environment monitoring
- Surveillance system
- Networked manufacturing system
- Structural health monitoring;
- Cognitive sensing and spectrum management
- Military and battlefield applications
All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with
the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and
Applications. The Latex templete of the paper can be found at
