CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks (WAdSNs) have become an important 
research area in the last ten years. Main contributions have focused on 
the development of new hardware, software, and protocols supporting 
distributed applications. In these kinds of networks, cooperation is a 
key issue, especially when nodes collaborate with their neighbors and 
with the whole network, considering it as a single entity. This paradigm 
can be used to face complex problems with high requirements: ease of 
deployment, self-configuration, and self-repair, among others. This 
special issue is among these sorts of applications.Authors should 
present papers describing novel applications based on this approach, as 
well as state-of-the-art contributions on key issues like 
synchronization, localization, routing, data aggregation, and fusion, 
among others. Papers dealing with how cooperation can be implemented 
through mechanisms such as multiagent intelligent systems (MASs), neural 
networks, genetic algorithms, ant colony algorithms, fuzzy logic, 
middleware systems, among others, are also welcome. Potential topics 
include, but are not limited to:

- Robust and scalable routing protocols
- Self-configuration, synchronization, and scheduling issues in WAdSNs
- Topology control and management
- Cross-layer design and interactions
- Implementation testbeds
- Operating systems and middleware
- Applications and evolutions of Ad Hoc sensor networks
- Autonomic networking
- Algorithms and modeling for localization, target tracking, and 
mobility management
- MAC protocols for Ad Hoc sensor networks
- QoS provisioning in medium-access control and routing for Ad Hoc 
sensor networks
- Performance evaluation and modeling of Ad Hoc sensor networks
- Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and query 
processing
- Distributed algorithms
- Pervasive and wearable computing applications of WAdSNs
- Coexistence issues of hybrid networks
- Energy saving and power control protocols for WAdSNs
- Resource management algorithms in mobile WAdSNs
- Service discovery for WAdSNs
- Survivability and reliability evaluation and modeling for Ad Hoc, 
sensor, and mesh networks
- Ubiquitous and mobile access for WAdSNs
- Security and privacy issues for wireless Ad Hoc sensor networks
- Distributed source coding in WSN
- Distributed channel coding in WSN
- Sensing capacity in WSN
