Article Text

The rapid development of wireless technology plays extremely important roles in monitoring and control related applications nowadays. This special issue aims at bringing together state-of-the-art contributions of wireless monitoring, control, actuator coordination as well as their co-designs.

In recent years, the demand for wireless communications in many monitoring and control applications has grown tremendously, such as military, aerospace, industrial, commercial, environmental, and health monitoring, etc. Some new technologies like Zigbee, Wi-Fi, Mobile Robots, and Bluetooth have already made significant contribution to data acquisition. As the same time, they arise some new challenges to guarantee a highly reliable, accurate, and fault-tolerant process. It is a critical issue to develop innovative approaches to deal with multi-variable, multi-space problem domains (detection, identification, tracking, data fusion, energy-efficiency, and fault-tolerant framework) as well as practical implementation in wireless monitoring and control application.

The purpose of the special issue is to focus on the novel ways by which monitoring, detection, identification, coordination and control schemes are applied in wireless monitoring and control applications. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Emerging wireless technology for monitoring and control; Data fusion in monitoring and control; Cooperative signal and information processing in wireless monitoring and control; Fault (Event)-detection, identification and tracking; Network coverage algorithm for wireless monitoring; Power and topology control in wireless networks; Closed-loop framework for wireless monitoring and control; Protocols for wireless monitoring, coordination and control; Integration of monitoring and control for wireless networks; Controller design for wireless monitoring network based system. Developments and novel applications for wireless monitoring and control; Mobile Robots for monitoring and control etc.
