International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks - IJDSN Special Issue "IP-enabled Wireless Sensor Network" Website: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/si/452437/cfp/ Deadline: Friday, 15 June 2012 In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the use of the IP technology has always been considered inadequate due to its high overhead in processing and memory usage. However, the use of IP technology in WSNs can provide basis for transparent communication among sensor nodes and seamless interconnection between WSNs and the Internet-based infrastructure network, thus eliminating the need for translation gateways or similar devices that are used in current WSNs for this purpose. Besides, many devices in a WSN make network autoconfiguration and statelessness highly desirable for the network operator. For this, IPv6 has ready solutions. Moreover, the large number of devices poses the need for a large address space, which is well met by IPv6. Application of IP technology to IEEE 802.15.4 will be a very important research direction. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts in integrating IP technology into WSNs. We are particularly interested in articles describing the new architecture, routing and MAC protocols, network management, and others in IP-enabled WSNs. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: 01. Network architecture of IP-enabled wireless sensor network 02. Routing and data transport in IP-enabled wireless sensor networks 03. MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks 04. Transport protocols for congestion control and middleware 05. Interconnection to Internet 06, Network management 07, Security and privacy 08. Scalability of wireless sensor networks 09. Embedded, network-oriented operating systems 10. Self-organization and governance 11. Quality of service 12. Modeling and performance evaluation 13. Demos and prototypes 14. Implementation experience and measurements Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/guidelines/.
