Wireless Sensors, SOA and Web Based Approaches for Remote Operation and Control
Special Session: "Wireless Sensors, SOA and Web Based Approaches for Remote Operation and Control"
Co-Chairs: A. Talevski, C. Wu, and E. Chang
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), RFIDs, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network and Convergence of these technologies are currently being considered for critical monitoring and control applications. However, as a viable candidate for remote monitoring or closed-loop control and operations, the WSN technology is facing challenges including condition and performance monitoring, surveillance, security, environments, remote operations, wireless assistive devices control and emergency management. These requirements are applicable to a wide range of industrial and health applications. Furthermore, the management and governance of these distributed WSNs has become an equally important issue. The emerging Web services technology appears to have the potential to address this issue. Web services is a SOAP/WSDL standard-based, XML-centric realisation of Service-Oriented Architecture, which enables heterogeneous systems to describe, discover, and invoke services anywhere, anytime, irrespective of the network and platforms. Introducing the notion of SOA to sensors and WSN thus provides management capacity for modelling sensors and WSN as reusable resources that can be discovered, probed, composed, and optimised via the Internet.
This special session aims to bring together academic researchers, industry practitioners and WSN/SOA community participants for reporting research findings, sharing practical experiences, and highlighting research challenges and future directions. Topics may include but are not limited to:
- Fundamental technical issues of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), RFIDs, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network and Convergence of these technologies
- Wireless technology in the Oil & Gas industry, health industry, business and security
- Modelling, measurement and simulation theoretical and empirical issues of WSNs
- Integration of SOA/Web services in modelling WSNs for remote control and operation
- Web 2.0 applications for WSN modelling via the Web
- Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity for Mobile/Wireless Web Services
- Implementations and experimental WSNs
- Performance of WSN systems
- Security, privacy, and fault-tolerance of WSN systems
