Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks

 

Scope

 

A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise

resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment 

and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop

routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization 

leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since

these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station.

In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and

are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios 

or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency

situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks 

would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational

conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or 

with real-time events.

This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be

incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and 

will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving

from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not 

limited to:

 

-  Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks 

 

-  Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks

 

-  Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors

 

-  Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks

 

-  Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks 

 

-  Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved
connectivity and/or coverage

 

-  Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks

 

-  Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for
increased network lifetime

 

-  Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

 

-  Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks

 

-  Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor
Networks

 

-  Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks
