Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as a cornerstone technology in the era of pervasive computing, enabling seamless data collection and transmission in an extensive range of applications; this encompasses areas such as environmental monitoring, intelligent healthcare systems and smart cities. The convergence of WSNs with advanced Internet of Things (IoT) computing paradigms such as Edge, Fog and Cloud, has revealed and stimulated unprecedented opportunities for innovation in various domains. This Special Issue (SI) aims to explore the frontiers of research and development in Advanced Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) within the context of IoT smart computing systems.
The integration of WSNs with IoT computing technologies has led to transformative advances in various domains, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Intelligent sensing and ubiquitous systems
- Smart cities and sustainable urban planning
- Environmental monitoring and protection
- Intelligent home healthcare and telemedicine systems
- Precision agriculture and sustainable agri-tech solutions
- Structural health monitoring and infrastructure management
- Industry automation and process control
- Disaster management and emergency response
This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality research papers that address various aspects of advanced WSN applications, including the following:
- Novel architectures and protocols for WSN-enabled IoT systems
- Edge computing frameworks using WSNs for data collection, processing and analysis
- Integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques into WSNs and IoT computing systems
- Applications of WSNs in smart sensing ubiquitous systems
- Energy-efficient and resource-aware algorithms for WSN deployment and operation
- Security and privacy considerations and concerns in WSN-enabled IoT ecosystems
- Case studies and practical implementations of WSN-based solutions in real-world IoT scenarios
- Advances in scalability, reliability and resilience of WSNs in dynamic and heterogeneous IoT environments
- Next generation WSN-solutions for primary sector industries enabling sustainable farming, fishing, forestry and mining
- Future applications of WSNs on smart and sustainable cities
- Advances in the use of WSNs for smart home assisted living solutions
- The role of WSNs in the design and implementation of disaster and emergency management systems
- Advanced combination of WSNs and Artificial Intelligence in the scope of industry and automation scenarios
We invite researchers, academics and practitioners to submit original research papers, review articles and case studies that address the above or akin topics and application areas. Submissions should present significant insights, innovative methodologies, and experimental validations that may contribute to the state of the art in Advanced Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) within the context of IoT computing systems and applications.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and fostering meaningful discussions to advance the development and adoption of cutting-edge WSN technologies.
