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
