International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks - IJDSN

Special Issue "Deploying Real-Life WSN Applications: Challenges,
Solutions, and Future Directions"

Website:http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/si/791617/cfp/

Deadline: Friday, 25 May 2012

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) area has been widely explored by
researchers worldwide. With the continuous advances of technology, WSNs
are increasingly being deployed in a myriad of real-life applications.
Although many researchers consider WSNs mature enough for real-life
applications, important but also conflicting challenges remain as open
issues: from the need for accurate and stable sensor nodes (yet keeping
size small and energy consumption low) to the demand for deploying
reliable and robust applications (yet coping with WSN limited resources).
This special issue focuses on deploying real-life WSN applications and
corresponding complexity, robustness, and reliability conflicting issues,
solutions, guidelines, and future directions. Potential topics include,
but are not limited to:

Deploying real-life smart buildings, homes, offices, and classrooms;
assistive medicine; structural monitoring; intelligent transportation
systems; surveillance; industrial control; precision agriculture;
intrusion detection; target tracking; environmental monitoring; emergency
response management

The challenges of deploying real-life WSN applications

Localization/positioning in real-life WSN applications

Deploying reliable and robust WSN applications in harsh environments

Guidelines for deploying real-life WSN applications

Real-life WSN applications and integration to the Internet

Experimental evaluation of WSN applications performance

Experimental results for real-life WSN applications versus simulation results

Real-life WSN applications with actuators and mobile nodes and sinks

Future directions in deploying real-life WSN applications
