10C12 Sensors and Sensor Networks in Operations and Control
OverviewPapers with contributions to new/novel technologies and applications of sensing systems and sensor networks in operations and control are sought. The concept of sensor networks includes spatial distribution -- proximate (e.g. automotive sensor network), local distribution (e.g. plant-wide distributed control system), and/or geographically distribution (e.g. pipeline network, environment monitoring). Contributions that emphasize protocols and algorithms (both measurement analysis and control) for smart sensing, as well as for wired/wireless sensors over various networks structures are particularly encouraged. Application/industrial case studies are also welcome.
