The Special Section "From Embedded Systems to Cooperating Objects" aims at presenting some of the most significant research works representing the state-of-the-art in scientific foundations and technologies that integrate computational and communication concepts with the dynamics of physical and engineered systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following aspects of cooperating objects:
- Real-time sensor network protocols and architectures
- Coordination middleware and programming for pervasive computing
- Distributed real-time middleware
- Querying and searching sensor data
- Mobile ecosystems of sensors / actors, including mobile robotics
- Key applications (manufacturing, medical, power grid, auto) and case studies
Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has not been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal. Extended versions of papers previously published in conference proceedings, digests or preprints may be eligible for consideration, provided that the authors inform the Special Section Guest Editors at the time of submission. |
