Call for Papers

With the recent advancement of low-power wireless communication and 
mobile computing, the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) paradigm has 
become an integral part of our daily lives. However, the 
resource-constrained features of WSNs in terms of memory, computation,
energy, communication, mobility, and scalability hinder the large-scale 
deployment of WSNs. The emergence of cloud computing is seen as an 
enabling technology to solve many of these constraints. WSN, when 
integrates with cloud, is considered as a sensor-cloud
technology, which can effectively collect, process, store, and analyze 
real-time data feeds from heterogeneous WSNs and provide quality of 
service (QoS) provisioning for different community and context-centric 
sensing applications. The sensor cloud leverages
scalable, on-demand, and powerful storage and processing infrastructure 
of cloud to support complete sensor data life cycle and provides 
ubiquitous access of these data to users at lower costs. Despite the 
huge potential of sensor cloud, it is currently being
used at a limited scale in different applications. As this technology is
 emerging, many research opportunities have just started to unveil.This 
special issue invites high-quality unpublished research articles 
articulating new perspectives highlights, open issues,
and challenges for the large-scale adoption of sensor cloud for 
pervasive services and applications. In particular, it aims to present 
the most recent achievements in sensor-cloud domain and envisions future
 directions. Potential topics include, but are not
limited to:

- Complex real-time event processing  and management in sensor cloud
- Efficient information dissemination mechanisms in sensor cloud
- QoS and QoI (quality of information)  improvements for sensor cloud
- Power-efficient MAC and routing protocols for sensor cloud
- Dynamic resource allocation algorithms for sensor cloud
- Collaborative multimedia sensing in sensor-cloud paradigm
- Fault tolerance, reliability, and resiliency
- Data mining techniques for sensor cloud
- Social network data fusion in sensor cloud
- Energy-efficient sensor-cloud system
- Security and privacy in sensor-cloud paradigm
- Sensor-cloud-based surveillance system
- Cloud-based WBAN for pervasive applications
