EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, Special Issue on Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network Systems

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/wsns.html

Call for Papers

The recent advances in embedded software/hardware design have enabled large-scale and cost-effective deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Such a network consists of many small sensor nodes with sensing, control, data processing, communications, and networking capabilities. The wireless sensor networks have a broad spectrum applications ranging from wild life monitoring and battlefield surveillance to border control and disaster relief, and have attracted significant interests from both academy and industry.

A wireless sensor node generally has limited storage and computation capabilities, as well as severely constrained power supplies, and the networks often operate in harsh unattended environments. Successful design and deployment of wireless sensor networks thus call for technology advances and integrations in diverse fields including embedded hardware manufacturing and signal processing as well as wireless communications and networking across all layers. We have seen the initial and incremental deployment of real sensor networks in the past decade, for example, the ZebraNet for wildlife tracking, the CitySense for weather and air pollutants reporting, and the Sensormap portal for generic monitoring services, to name but a few; yet the full potentials of such networks in the real world remain to be explored and demonstrated, which involves numerous practical challenges in diverse aspects.

This special issue aims to summarize the latest development in the design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless sensor systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Practical architecture and protocol design for sensor communications and networking * Management, monitoring, and diagnosis of sensor networks * Implementation and measurement of experimental systems and testbeds * Experience with real-world deployments of wireless sensor networks * Interactions with ubiquitous communication and networking infrastructures * Novel killer applications of wireless sensor networks

We solicit original unpublished research papers only. Papers previously published in conference/workshop proceedings can be considered, but should be substantially extended.

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines.html. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
