Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building Monitoring: From Theory to Real Application
EJSE invites contributions on the above subject to the first issue of an ongoing series of special ssues in building monitoring using sensor networks. Monitoring and automatic control of building environment is a crucial application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The investigation of efficient sensor network design that minimizes energy dissipation in a battery of the sensor node with limited battery power is a vital consideration for sensor network lifetime. Therefore careful scheduling of battery power in sensor networks has become a critical issue in network design. Recent technological developments have permitted miniaturization and power efficiency of sensors, and integration of data into applications for building monitoring and computer interaction. Sensor networks illustrate an exceptional improvement over traditional sensors. However, there are still many challenges to be met before we see more widespread use of WSN in building monitoring applications. The principal objective of this special issue is to assemble papers on recent advances made in the area of sensor networks for monitoring buildings. Authors are specially invited to submit contributions in, (but not restricted to), the following topics: - Practical experience and knowledge gained with real life deployment of sensor networks for building monitoring for examples temperature, light intensity, CO and CO2 level - Novel techniques for actual sensor deployment, data gathering in building monitoring - Effects on activity monitoring, reliable communication, quality of service and security - Power efficient communication: miniaturization, system integration and energy scavenging
