Call for papers
Wireless sensor and robot networks (WSRNs) are the confluence point where
the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks
and control theory meet. In WSRN, nodes collaborate to accomplish
distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and
mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole
new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to
improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data
communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and
balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and
effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an
emerging field, WSRNs are in need of new networking techniques, by which
they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials.WiSARN aims to
bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification
and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current
and future applications of WSRN.
