PUBLICATION: Fall 2004

Recent advances in micro-electro-mechanical systems technology and wireless
communications have enabled the development of low-cost low-power  sensors.
These tiny sensor nodes, which can perform sensing, simple computation, and
communication in short distances,  leverage the idea  of sensor networks in
which the number of nodes can be a few orders of magnitude higher than  the
number of nodes in a traditional ad hoc  network.  Applications  of  sensor
networks include military applications, environmental applications,  health
applications,  home applications,  and many other commercial  applications.

This special issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions describing
recent advances in all areas of sensor networks. Papers should describe
original and previously unpublished, and not currently under review by
another conference, workshop or journal. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:

* Architectures and protocols
* Applications
* Energy management
* Low-energy energy routing, including multicasting and broadcasting
* Survivable routing
* Data gathering
* Data fusion
* Positioning and tracking techniques
* Reachability
* Reliability and fault tolerance
* Management protocols
* Query and data dissemination
* Network security
* Performance evaluation
* Scalability
* Self-organization
* Operating system for sensor networks
