Over the recent decade, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have enabled numerous applications in different domains. With the advancement of embedded systems, sensing technology, and standardization efforts, the WSN-enabled solutions to different kinds of industrial applications have attracted growing attention. These applications include environmental sensing, home/building automation, smart grid, industrial condition/process monitoring, etc. Moreover, there are many WSN-enabled industrial applications inspired by the new concepts, such as Industrial Internet of Things, Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and Smart Grid. The broad spectrum of WSN-enabled industrial applications involves many interdisciplinary research topics and research challenges which are yet to be solved. These challenges, for example, generally include timeliness, security, reliability, scalability, and quality of service.
This workshop aims at bringing researchers together working in a variety of the subjects raised by the WSN-enabled industrial applications. Research papers are welcome from communities at the fringe of industrial WSNs.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Industrial WSN test-beds, applications, and data analytics in different areas
Industrial Internet of Things and Smart Manufacturing applications
Standards-based industrial WSNs (e.g., WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, etc.)
Fault tolerant industrial WSNs and diagnosis
Wireless communication techniques and protocols
Energy harvesting and low-power solutions
Embedded systems software/hardware
System middleware and software services
Quality of service and performance evaluation
Real-time control and monitoring theories
Real-time applications for enterprise asset management, inventory management, shop floor interactions, field service automation, fleet management, etc.
System integration into industrial networks in different levels (e.g., field device level, automation system level, network level, etc.)
