Special Issue on
Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks
http://www2.aegean.gr/dgavalas/ComputerJ_SI.pdf
Introduction:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer unprecedented capabilities for
integrating sensing with computing and communication as well as for
distributed sensing, coordination and control. While WSNs have been a
subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities
to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined
locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet
forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and
analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle
mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of
sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the
applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent
research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research
opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of
applications for which WSNs can be used.
This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges
raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances in
this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but
are not limited to):
- Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Actuator networks
- Mobile sensor-actuator networks
- Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
- Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Topology coverage and connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor
Networks with mobile elements
- Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks
- MAC protocols and QoS provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks with
mobile elements
- Routing protocols for handling mobility
- Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with
mobile elements
- Data aggregation, fusion and dissemination techniques in Wireless Sensor
Networks with mobile elements
- Synchronization and scheduling issues in Wireless Sensor Networks with
mobile elements
- Security, trust and privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile
elements
- Mobile GeoSensor Networks
- Simulation, evaluation and validation of Wireless Sensor Networks with
mobile elements
- Applications, testbeds and deployment experiences
