Recent Advanced Control, Applications, and Optimization for WSN and the IoT

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a popular field of research, with great prospects. Numerous researchers are continuously working on Internet of Things systems and trying to enhance its applicability. The backbone of IoT systems consists of sensors, embedded devices, networks of smart things, etc. Established communication among devices embedded with wireless sensor networks (WSN) and IoT networks improves our quality of life and represents a significant step forward toward automatic systems. WSN and IoT systems are already deployed in various areas, such as smart cities, smart homes, healthcare systems, etc.

The collaborative processes of sensors or embedded devices faces many complex challenges which will differ from environment to environment. The efficiency and effectiveness of systems depends on physical environment issues, services, system requirements, privacy, heterogeneity, etc. Based on each situation, the networks of sensors or embedded devices need to tackle many different challenges and issues which can be improved, such as quality of services, network dynamic adaptions, network protocols, etc.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to compile original and high-quality research works related to innovative solutions in the field of “Advanced Control, Applications, and Optimization for WSN and IoT”.
