"Collaborative Wireless Sensor Networks: Architectures, Algorithms and
Applications"
The Information Fusion Journal is planning a special issue on Collaborative
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSNs are collections of tiny devices
capable of sensing, computation and wireless communication operating in
domain-specific environments to monitor and control events of interest in a
distributed manner and collectively react to critical situations. WSN
applications span various domains such as environmental and building
monitoring and surveillance, pollution monitoring, agriculture, health
care, home-automation, energy management, earthquake and eruption
monitoring. Notably, through collaboration WSNs can organize efficiently,
prolong system lifetime, handle dynamics, detect and correct errors, all
with the final goal of eventually executing reliably single or multiple
user applications. This special issue specifically focuses on exploring
recent advances in architectures, algorithms, and applications for
collaborative WSNs to make WSN-based applications more reliable,
intelligent, effective and easy-to-use in academic- and industry-related
scenarios.
Manuscripts (which should be original and not previously published either
in full or in part or presented even in a more or less similar form at any
other forum) covering methods, architectures, algorithms and applications
for collaborative wireless sensor networks are invited. Absolutely no cut
and pastes from prior publications (of text and/or figures or tables or
other illustrations) will be permitted. All such reproduced material should
be excluded by generous use of citations to the relevant prior publications
wherever necessary within the text of the Journal submission. The
manuscript will be judged solely on the basis of new contributions
excluding the contributions made in earlier publications. Contributions
should be described in sufficient detail to be reproducible on the basis of
the material presented in the paper and the references cited therein.
Topics appropriate for this special issue include, but are not necessarily
limited to:
- WSN architectures, protocols, and algorithms;
- Localization in WSNs, including algorithms and techniques for sensor
localization and tracking;
- Data management in WSNs, including distributed storage, distributed
processing, query, manipulation, data fusion, and data mining;
- Credibility management in WSNs, including credibility model,
certification and evaluation;
- Cooperative signal and information processing in WSNs;
- Collaboration between WSNs and other systems;
- Collaborative Body Sensor Networks;
- WSN applications.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at
http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus
The corresponding author will have to create a user profile if one has not
been established before at Elsevier.
