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:

1. 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

2. The challenges of deploying real-life WSN applications

3. Localization/positioning in real-life WSN applications

4. Deploying reliable and robust WSN applications in harsh environments

5. Guidelines for deploying real-life WSN applications

6. Real-life WSN applications and integration to the Internet

7. Experimental evaluation of WSN applications performance

8. Experimental results for real-life WSN applications versus simulation results

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

10. Future directions in deploying real-life WSN applications
