CALL FOR PAPERS

Special issue of IETE Technical review
on
“Application and prototype development in Wireless Sensor Networks-The practical evaluation and experiences”


Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Networks technology is entering a critical phase where academia, industry and governments worldwide are investing significant time and resources on the large-scale deployment of these networks so that their benefits in day-to-day practical and business applications could be leveraged. Still, a number of technical challenges need to be resolved in order that these networks could be widely deployed and used in our daily life and business. This motivates the need for application and prototype developments, real tests, field trials, and experimental evaluations for the different technological solutions and aspects in such networks.

This special issue aims to present and discuss the recent practical and experimental evaluation in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks, and to disseminate the most advanced ideas and solutions in the field. Submitted papers should have practical evaluation and/or deployment experiences as their main subject or they should use experiments to validate their modeling/analysis results.

• The suggested topics for the special issue are (but not limited to):
• Business application and prototype development in Wireless Sensor networks
• RFID based prototype development and business application
• Heterogeneous wireless technologies in Sensor Network
• Application in Dedicated Short Range Communications
• Prototype, Field Study and Test bed for Wireless Sensor network
• Communication Protocols -Design and implementation
• Safety and Security in Wireless Sensor network
• Data Management for Wireless Sensor network
• Middleware for Wireless Sensor network
• Service models and architectures for successful deployments
• Designing Wireless Sensor network for commercial applications
• Networked sensing systems in practical applications
• Development of under water sensor networks
