Special Issue on
"Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks"
The area of monitoring and control of physical environments has recently
become a hot spot in the technology landscape. Currently, a number of
companies are offering a plethora of sensing devices with different
phenomena's
monitoring capabilities. These devices, a.k.a. sensors, can be tiny with
limited energy and processing capabilities; they can be stand alone or
integrated in various and they can be deployed to form a Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) in support to a variety of military, civil, and environmental
applications. In a WSN, the sensors are also capable to communicate with
each other and in a multihop way propagate sensing information to data
sinks
and operations centers. In the last few years, wireless sensor networking
has been a very active research area in both academia and the industry with
a wide variety of applications. While the set of challenges in sensor
networks are diverse, researches have mainly focused on fundamental
networking challenges, which include: routing protocols and energy
minimization. However, the performances of the proposed solutions strongly
depend on the way sensors were positioned in the area. To that end, the
goal of this special issue is to report on recent advances in wireless
sensor network planning and deployment. Its scope is open for both
theoretical and practical contributions related to WSN architecture,
planning, deployments, and applications.
Authors are solicited to contribute to this special issue by submitting
original articles that illustrate research results, projects, and
industrial
experiences that describe significant advances in this field. Potential
topics
include, but are not limited to:
- WSN deployment
- WSN planning (MAC protocols, scheduling, and routing)
- Clustering in WSNs
- Large-scale WSN deployment
- WSN coverage
- Query processing for data streams
- Deployment and energy-efficient communication
- Self-organization and network reconfiguration
- Energy harvesting in WSNs
- Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSNs
- Configuration, robustness, reliability, and failure tolerance
- Security, privacy, and trust
- Planning and deployment of multimedia sensor networks
- Planning and deployment of underwater sensor networks
- Planning and deployment of body area sensor networks
- Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes of WSN deployment
- Applications: health, environment, emergency, tracking, and so forth
- Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSN
