Wireless technologies, nowadays a commodity in personal and data communication, have the potential of providing significant benefits in factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, more flexible and cheaper. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile robots or mobile plant subsystems where fixed cables are in constant danger of breaking. The industrial interest in wireless solutions is growing rapidly, standardization efforts such as Wireless HART and ISA 100 are underway, and hardware for embedded wireless is dropping in price. It can therefore be expected that wireless technologies will be integrated into distributed control systems on a broad scale. However, there are still open issues about data security, reliability and performance of the wireless control loop that may limit the rate of adoption.

The goal of the special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and problems regarding the adoption of wireless technologies for networked control, ranging from theoretical foundations to the reporting of implementation experiences and applications. The results must be original and previously unpublished. Substantially extended versions of conference papers will also be considered for publication.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Industrial wireless networking for efficient, reliable and timely data transmission: low-layer (MAC/link/physica-layer) protocols and multi-hop (routing, transport) protocols * Theory and methodology for reliable and robust wireless networked control * Novel solutions for re-configurable, resilient and fault tolerant wireless control * Security for industrial wireless systems * Middleware and higher-layer support for wireless networked control systems * Hybrid wired/wireless networked control systems * Experiences from industrial deployments of wireless control * Innovative wireless networked control applications
