Applications

Call for Papers
With the recent advancement of low-power wireless communication and
mobile computing, the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) paradigm has
become an integral part of our daily lives. However, the
resource-constrained features of WSNs in terms of memory, computation,
energy, communication, mobility, and scalability hinder the large-scale
deployment of WSNs. The emergence of cloud computing is seen as an
enabling technology to solve many of these constraints. WSN, when
integrates with cloud, is considered as a sensor-cloud
technology, which can effectively collect, process, store, and analyze
real-time data feeds from heterogeneous WSNs and provide quality of
service (QoS) provisioning for different community and context-centric
sensing applications. The sensor cloud leverages
scalable, on-demand, and powerful storage and processing infrastructure
of cloud to support complete sensor data life cycle and provides
ubiquitous access of these data to users at lower costs. Despite the
huge potential of sensor cloud, it is currently being
used at a limited scale in different applications. As this technology is
emerging, many research opportunities have just started to unveil.This
special issue invites high-quality unpublished research articles
articulating new perspectives highlights, open issues,
and challenges for the large-scale adoption of sensor cloud for
pervasive services and applications. In particular, it aims to present
the most recent achievements in sensor-cloud domain and envisions future
directions. Potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
- Complex real-time event processing and management in sensor cloud
- Efficient information dissemination mechanisms in sensor cloud
- QoS and QoI (quality of information) improvements for sensor cloud
- Power-efficient MAC and routing protocols for sensor cloud
- Dynamic resource allocation algorithms for sensor cloud
- Collaborative multimedia sensing in sensor-cloud paradigm
- Fault tolerance, reliability, and resiliency
- Data mining techniques for sensor cloud
- Social network data fusion in sensor cloud
- Energy-efficient sensor-cloud system
- Security and privacy in sensor-cloud paradigm
- Sensor-cloud-based surveillance system
- Cloud-based WBAN for pervasive applications
