International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNET) Special Issue on: "Energy-Efficient Algorithm and Protocol Design in Sensor Networks" http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=346

Sensor networks operate under a set of unique constraints and requirements, which spark numerous research interests in almost every layer of the network protocol stack. Sensor nodes are usually battery-powered and energy-constrained, so energy efficiency is of primary importance for the operational lifetime of a sensor network.

Novel signal processing technologies, network architectures, protocols, algorithms and applications are needed to improve the energy efficiency and prolong the lifetime of sensor nodes and sensor networks. There are extensive efforts happening in energy-conscious network topology control, collaborative signal processing, media access control (MAC), variable topology multi-hop routing, flow and error control, and domain-specific application design. Novel cross-layer approaches have also been emerging to address the energy efficiency issue through a combined solution via efforts from different layers.

The main purpose of this Special Issue is to keep a record of the state-of-the-art research in this fast moving area, and to promote further research interests and activities on energy-efficient algorithm and protocol design in sensor networks. We are interested in analytical, experimental, and systems-related papers.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Network topology control * Collaborative signal processing * Optimal power control * Network reconfiguration architectures and protocols * Mobility management in mobile sensor networks * Energy aware task and resource allocation * Energy-conscious scheduling and media access control * Variable topology multi-hop routing * Flow and error control * Energy-aware transport protocol * Energy/efficiency/security tradeoffs * Cross-layer protocol design and development * Inter-connection between sensor networks and the Internet * Sensor networks testbeds, experiments, algorithms and measurements
