                           Special Issue on 
        Algorithm and Theory for Robust Wireless Sensor Networks 
              http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/osi/

Wireless sensor networks raise a number of interesting and undiscovered 
algorithmic issues, but traditional techniques are not sufficient to solve 
these problems in the right way. This is specifically due to constrained 
energy and computation capability, nondeterministic sensor failures, channel 
impairments, node mobility, hostile and distrusted environments, and even 
external attackers. In all these respects, wireless sensor networks exhibit 
substantial vulnerability when compared to other networks. It is challenging 
to design a robust wireless sensor network by devising novel algorithms or 
developing new theories whilst introducing minimal communication overhead 
and energy consumption. For example, sensor nodes are often deployed in 
outdoor or hazardous environments. Power outage of sensors can lead to node 
failure and cause many serious problems. Recently, an aggressive approach 
has been developed that wirelessly re-charges the sensor nodes to increase 
the robustness of the sensor networks. The charging tasks can be performed 
by single or multiple mobile machines. However, the algorithmic and 
theoretical issues in the wireless charging problem for WSNs were not fully 
explored.

The main focus of this special issue is devoted to deeper understanding of 
the algorithms and theories which are developed to build up a robust 
wireless sensor network. Moreover, it is to push the theoretical and 
practical research forward for a deeper understanding in the fundamental 
algorithm, modeling, and analysis techniques of robust wireless sensor 
networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

 Algorithms and theories for wireless sensor networks related to robustness 
issues 
 Performance analysis of reliable protocols for wireless sensor networks 
 Robust routing algorithms in wireless sensor networks
 Robust topology control techniques in wireless sensor networks
 Robust coverage algorithms in wireless sensor networks
 Robust MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks
 Robust position estimation in wireless sensor networks
 Duplicate data and resource optimization in mobile wireless networks
 Wireless recharging strategies in mobile wireless sensor networks
 Fault-tolerant clustering and cooperative strategies in wireless sensor 
networks
 Robust boundary detection algorithms in wireless sensor networks
