[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building and Environmental Monitoring: Theory and Application

CALL FOR PAPERS - 2010
EJSE - Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering
Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building and Environmental Monitoring:
Theory and Application
http://www.ejse.org

EJSE invites contributions on the above subject to the second issue of an
ongoing series of special issues in building and environmental monitoring
using sensor networks.
Monitoring and automatic control of building environment is a crucial
application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The investigation of
efficient sensor network design that minimizes energy dissipation in a
battery of the sensor node with limited battery power is a vital
consideration for sensor network lifetime. Therefore careful scheduling of
battery power in sensor networks has become a critical issue in network
design. Recent technological developments have permitted miniaturization and
power efficiency of sensors, and integration of data into applications for
building monitoring and computer interaction. Sensor networks illustrate an
exceptional improvement over traditional sensors. However, there are still
many challenges to be met before we see more widespread use of WSN in
building and environmental monitoring applications.
The objective of this special issue is to present recent advances made in
the area of sensor networks for
monitoring building and environment. Authors are specially invited to submit
contributions including (but not restricted to), the following topics:

* Practical experience and knowledge gained with real life deployment of
sensor networks
* Sensor network test-bed design and development
* Novel techniques for actual sensor deployment, data gathering
* Effects on activity monitoring, reliable communication, quality of service
and security
* Power efficient communication: miniaturization, system integration and
energy scavenging
FOR
* Building monitoring (eg: temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO and
CO2 level)
* Natural disaster monitoring/prediction (eg: earthquake, flooding,
landslip, cyclones and bushfire)
* Water quality and water level monitoring
* Biomedical sensor monitoring (eg: cardiac and wellbeing monitoring).
