Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ingenuity and vision of connecting everyday physical objects through the Internet gave rise to the paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT), which through the integration of sensors and actuators has fostered the emergence of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). This technology present recognised benefits, as they are simple to deploy and maintain, installation cost is comparatively lower, and they are intrinsically tailored for mobility. In the last few years, WSANs have been successfully applied in the materialisation of concepts as broad as cyber-physical systems and smart cities.
This Special Issue is devoted to gathering the latest advances in basic research and applications involving WSANs, with emphasis on:
- Architectures, protocols, middleware and services;
- Deployment and nodes position;
- Coordination and mobility;
- Reliability, quality of service and sustainability;
- Resilience and privacy;
- Real scenarios applications.
Keywords
- wireless sensor and actuator network
