> 
> Both existing industrial systems and new emerging industrial
> applications require intelligent and low-cost industrial automation
> solutions to improve the productivity, safety, and efficiency of such
> systems. The collaborative intelligence and low-cost nature of
> industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) brings several advantages
> over traditional wired industrial monitoring and control systems,
> including flexibility, self-configuration, rapid deployment, and an
> inherent intelligent processing capability. To this end, IWSN-based
> automation systems are increasingly taking advantage of the
> opportunities presented by information and communication technologies
> (ICT) to offer new and more effective functions and solutions. The
> specific constraints of the industrial automation domain on the other
> hand lead to new requirements towards the dependability  especially
> reliability, safety and security  of the ICT applied. This Special
> Section is focused on the development, adoption and application of
> wireless sensor networks for the industrial environment with its
> unique requirements.
> 
> Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research themes
> and technologies:
> 
> - Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms for Industrial Wireless
> Sensor Networks (IWSNs),
> - Quality-of-Service (QoS) Issues and Network Management In IWSNs,
> - Performance Evaluations and Simulations of IWSNs,
> - Energy Management and Harvesting in IWSNs,
> - RF Measurements and Channel Modelling in Industrial Environments,
> - Resource Management and Scheduling in IWSNs,
> - Cognitive Communications for Industrial Applications,
> - Hardware Developments and Platforms for IWSNs and their Impact on
> Communication Protocols,
> - Network Integration in Industrial Automation Systems (Heterogeneous
> Networks, Wired/Wireless) ,
> - Security and reliability of IWSN applications,
> - Advances in technologies for implementing IWSNs,
> - Standards and Regulations for IWSNs,
> - Field Tests and Pilot Projects.
> 
> The use of industrial wireless sensor networks opens up new
> application areas. Examples include, but are not limited to:
> - Smart Manufacturing, Web-of-Things in the Factory Line,
> - Home and Building Automation,
> - Management of Infrastructure, such as Utilities and Road Networks,
> - Intelligent Vehicle/Transport Systems, such as Traffic/Congestion 
> Management,
> - Safety and Security,
> - Assisted Living/Citizen Well-being
> - Smart Grids and Smart Metering.
> 
> Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting developments
> at the interface of information and communication technologies and
> these application environments are welcome. Results obtained by
> simulations must be validated by experiments or analytical results.
> 
> Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Follow the guidelines in
> Information for Authors in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial
> Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/. Please submit your manuscript in
