Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), thanks to the combined utilization of their sensor nodes, have the ability to monitor the ambient conditions in areas of interest of almost any kind and size. For this reason, although initially conceived to be used solely in the military domain, WSNs nowadays not only are the basis of the Internet of Things (IoT), but also support an ever-growing range of applications.
Simultaneously, emergent advances in several scientific regions seem to be appropriate to enhance the capabilities of WSNs even more, hence initiating promising research trends.
The aim of this Special Issue is to host scientific articles that are associated with the state of the art, standards, experimentations, implementations, new research proposals, and case studies regarding applications of WSNs and relevant scientific innovations and research trends. Invited papers have to be original and neither published nor under review in any other conference or journal. Potential topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Environmental applications of WSNs;
- Applications of WSNs in flora and fauna;
- Applications of WSNs in Industry 4.0;
- Urban applications of WSNs;
- Applications of WSNs in healthcare;
- Military applications of WSNs;
- WSNs for smart cities;
- WSNs for smart home;
- Computational Intelligence for WSNs;
- Smart WSNs for IoT;
- Edge Computing in WSNs;
- Energy Sustainability in WSNs;
- Energy Efficiency in WSNs;
- Energy Harvesting in WSNs;
- Wireless Energy Transfer in WSNs.
