Abstract:
Abstract This special issue aims to provide innovative research work that has
recently been carried out in networked control and wireless sensor networks,
including both theoretical developments, experimental and/or application
research. Wired and wireless networks have been used as a platform in the remote
monitoring and control. The applications cover a wide range from natural
monitoring to ambient awareness, from military to surveillance, and from
industrial plants to domestic home environments. This preface first introduces
the basic concepts of networked control and wireless sensor networks, then
presents the challenges in these areas, and finally summarises the five papers
included in the special issue.
