Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the previous Special Issue on Underwater Sensing, Communication, Networking, and Systems , we are pleased to announce a new Special Issue on Intelligent Underwater Systems: Sensing, Communication, Networking, and Applications. It aims to encourage interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research at the frontier of intelligent underwater systems.
The strategic significance of the ocean leads has inspired a growing interest in developing effective and efficient sensing, communication, and networking systems for underwater environments. New technology is being developed to meet the increasing need of exploring the mysteries of the deep sea. New research is being conducted to address new challenges posed by unique underwater environments. These efforts can transform the way we understand, explore, and utilize the largely unexplored ocean.
In this Special Issue, we welcome our fellow colleagues to present recent research outcomes in the areas of underwater sensing, communication, networking, and system designs. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
Underwater sensing technology, including sensor design, sensing algorithms, data mining, data fusion, and dissemination;
Underwater wireless communications, including acoustic, optical, RF, and magneto-inductive;
Underwater observatory, including wired and wireless observatory at coastal, regional, and global scales;
Underwater wireless networks, including networking theories, protocol designs, and architecture;
Underwater robotics, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), underwater remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROV), and underwater unmanned vehicles (UUV);
Power harvesting and power systems, including alternative energy sources, renewable energy sources, underwater wireless charging, and low power design;
Hardware design, including sensor systems, system integration, prototype, software defined communication, and networking platform;
Modeling, simulation, and testbed design;
Underwater ranging, localization, and tracking;
Underwater cybersecurity and countermeasures;
System deployment and network planning;
Applications, case studies, field trials, and experiment results.
