Furthermore, battery-powered networked devices are becoming increasingly more common and mobile ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks are receiving considerable attention. The issue of distributed systems of sensors and actuators poses many challenges and calls for systems solutions that are efficient, robust, scalable, and easily deployable. This special issue seeks original contributions in the design, analysis and experimental evaluation of distributed systems of sensors and actuators, particularly the ones connected through wireless networks. Papers on practical as well as on theoretical topics and problems are invited. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
