> > IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics > > CALL FOR PAPERS for a Special Section on "Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks" > http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ss/CFP_WirelessSens.pdf > > Both existing industrial systems and new emerging industrial > applications require intelligent and low-cost industrial automation > solutions to improve the productivity, safety, and efficiency of such > systems. The collaborative intelligence and low-cost nature of > industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) brings several advantages > over traditional wired industrial monitoring and control systems, > including flexibility, self-configuration, rapid deployment, and an > inherent intelligent processing capability. To this end, IWSN-based > automation systems are increasingly taking advantage of the > opportunities presented by information and communication technologies > (ICT) to offer new and more effective functions and solutions. The > specific constraints of the industrial automation domain on the other > hand lead to new requirements towards the dependability – especially > reliability, safety and security – of the ICT applied. This Special > Section is focused on the development, adoption and application of > wireless sensor networks for the industrial environment with its > unique requirements. > > Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research themes > and technologies: > > - Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms for Industrial Wireless > Sensor Networks (IWSNs), > - Quality-of-Service (QoS) Issues and Network Management In IWSNs, > - Performance Evaluations and Simulations of IWSNs, > - Energy Management and Harvesting in IWSNs, > - RF Measurements and Channel Modelling in Industrial Environments, > - Resource Management and Scheduling in IWSNs, > - Cognitive Communications for Industrial Applications, > - Hardware Developments and Platforms for IWSNs and their Impact on > Communication Protocols, > - Network Integration in Industrial Automation Systems (Heterogeneous > Networks, Wired/Wireless) , > - Security and reliability of IWSN applications, > - Advances in technologies for implementing IWSNs, > - Standards and Regulations for IWSNs, > - Field Tests and Pilot Projects. > > The use of industrial wireless sensor networks opens up new > application areas. Examples include, but are not limited to: > - Smart Manufacturing, Web-of-Things in the Factory Line, > - Home and Building Automation, > - Management of Infrastructure, such as Utilities and Road Networks, > - Intelligent Vehicle/Transport Systems, such as Traffic/Congestion > Management, > - Safety and Security, > - Assisted Living/Citizen Well-being > - Smart Grids and Smart Metering. > > Papers discussing new application areas and the resulting developments > at the interface of information and communication technologies and > these application environments are welcome. Results obtained by > simulations must be validated by experiments or analytical results. > > Manuscript Preparation and Submission: Follow the guidelines in > “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial > Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/.
