Editorial Charter
TOSN serves as a central, archival venue for the interdisciplinary sensor network research community. It covers research contributions that introduce new concepts, techniques, analyses, or architectures, as well as applied contributions that report on development of new tools and systems or experiences and experiments with high-impact, innovative applications. The Transactions places special attention to contributions on systemic approaches to sensor networks.
The areas of sensor networks covered by this journal include, but are not limited to:
- Applications of sensor and actuator networks
- Data storage and query processing
- Distributed and collaborative signal processing
- Energy and resource management
- Fault tolerance and diagnostics
- Foundations of sensor networks
- Information theory, coding and compression
- In-network processing and aggregation
- Learning of models from data
- Location, time and other infrastructure establishment services
- Low-power hardware design
- Mobile or actuator systems
- Modeling of systems and physical environments
- Network protocols, coverage, connectivity, and longevity
- Programming models and languages
- Sensor fusion and distributed inference
- Security, privacy, and data integrity
- Scheduling, sensor tasking and control
- Simulation tools and environments
- System architectures and operating systems
The Transactions appears 6 times per year in January, March, May, July, September, and November. The first issue was published in August 2005.
