The aim of this IJSWIS special issue on semantic technologies for Sensor Networks, Internet of Things and communications is to present and showcase new theory and technical innovation in the ways semantic web technologies, can contribute to the growth, application and deployment of (wireless) sensor and actuator networks, and internet-connected smart devices and other things, including their communication, information management and applications.


Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Ontologies and information modelling for sensor and actuator networks
- Methodologies and languages for modelling and representation, issues of sensing-perception-semantics
- Semantic annotation of high throughput machine or sensor data
- Semantic web services architectures for sensor and actuator networks
- Semantic data integration in large-scale heterogeneous networks
- Semantic middleware for active and passive sensor/actuator networks
- Semantic algorithms for data fusion and situation awareness
- Experience in applications of semantic technologies in sensor and actuator networks
- Semantic data management for sensor networks and smart or not-so-smart devices
- Rule-based sensor and actuator systems
- Reasoning with incomplete or uncertain information in sensor networks
- Semantic feedback and control
- Scalability, interoperability in semantic sensor and actuator networks
- Reliability and adaptability in semantic sensor and actuator networks
- Sensor network topology management using semantic reasoning
- Emergent semantics in Machine-to-Machine communications
- Large-scale semantic enabled networks and systems
- Emergent semantics in sensor networks and sensor data processing
- Exploiting sensor data semantics for geospatial and uncertainty data management
- Specific use cases and applications of semantic technologies in device
- Efforts related to W3C's XG on Semantic Sensor Networks

    Submission Deadline: September 15, 2011
    Notifications: November 14, 2011
    Revised Papers (after Revisions): January 16, 2012
