Call for Papers

Special Issue on:
Distributed Intelligence and Data Fusion for Sensor Systems

in IET Communications (SCI Indexed)
http://scitation.aip.org/IET-COM

===========================================================

Scope

Use of intelligence, data mining and data fusion has provided new momentum in 
the use of sensors and converted WSNs into a new brand of dynamic, autonomous 
and intelligent Distributed Sensor Systems. These features enable new smart 
sensors to play new roles as intelligent nodes gathering, manipulating and 
decimating data for more reliable and secure communication whilst performing 
more efficiently using less energy and number crunching.

This special issue aims at presenting innovative and signifi cant research 
papers on the design, implementation and evaluation of wireless sensors, 
especially for use of distributed intelligence and data fusion. 



Topics of primaryinterest include, but are not limited to:
 
* applications and deployment of intelligence in sensor systems and distributed 
  data fusion
* sensor networking protocols and algorithms
* sensor network management protocol and systems
* cross-layer design and sensor network management protocols
* security of distributed intelligence in sensor networks
* inter-connection between distributed sensor systems
* testbed, experimental measurements & performance analysis
* systems for context sensing and context awareness
* tools and methodologies for sensory data fusion
* QoS provisioning protocols with data fusion technology
* collaborative in-network processing and data sharing
* use of Intelligence and data in energy harvesting
