A Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks Journal on Recent Advances in Large Scale and Sustainable Wireless Sensor Networks

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, computing, communicating, and control capabilities. The wireless sensor networks have a broad spectrum applications ranging from wild life monitoring, 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 communication 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 design, data processing, and wireless communications and networking across all layers.

One of the key challenges in WSNs is to develop sustainable and scalable system that achieves longer network lifetime. Nodes capable of harvesting environmental energy have been designed and used in many WSN systems. The benefits of using rechargeable batteries by harvesting environmental energy to prolong sensor network lifetime have been well recognized.

This special issue aims to summarize the latest development of hardware and software for WSNs, as well as deployment experiences. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

? Novel transport, network, and MAC protocol design ? Smart in-network processing and control ? Disruption-tolerant/opportunistic mobile sensor networking ? Cross layer design and optimization, duty cycle management ? Channel and network modeling and performance evaluation ? Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test-beds ? New and novel methods for harvesting environment energy ? Hardware design ? Novel applications and architectures

We solicit original unpublished research papers only.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

Important Dates:

Paper submission: 10-June-2010 Acceptance notification: 10-Sept-2010 Final papers: 10-Oct-2010 Publication: 10-Jan-2011 (adjustable to the editorial calendar)
