Journal Of Communication Navigation Sensing And Services

Aim The overall aim of the Journal of Communication, Navigation, Sensing and Services (CONASENSE) is to provide a common platform for exchanging ideas among the communities, both the academic and industrial, involved in the fields of Communications, Navigation and Sensing, with emphasis on multidisciplinary views and Smart/Intelligent services that require the effective and efficient integration of these three fields of research and development. Scope The Journal will publish articles on novel research and the latest advances, in the field of communication (in particular, wireless communication), navigation and sensing with special emphasis on the challenges, new concepts and future enablers for the interaction/integration of these technologies for the successful provision of smart/intelligent services. The fields of interest include: All communications/sensing/navigation systems and techniques, protocols which enable awareness of the physical environment, effective and fast feedback loops between actuation and sensing, a flexible and cognitive architecture which comply with essential requirements like safety, security, near-zero power consumption as well as size, usability and adaptability constraints. Control theory aspects in presence of wireless or lossy feedback links (i.e. network control theory), distributed control systems; Services and applications such as smart grid, Ambient Assisted Living, Ambient-Intelligence, Smart Cities, Smart Environment, Context-aware services, location-based services, e-Health, but more in general innovative services and applications for contributing to solving societal challenges. Data management such as data mining, data retrieval, decision-making algorithms.

During the last decade there was a shift from wireless and mobile communications technology, networks and applications towards integration of radio with other disciplines. Integration of navigation, sensing and services allow for entering new areas in which many requirements from individuals and organizations are satisfied.Potential applications are manifold. Developments for realizing these new application areas will cause a boost on new systems demonstrating the potentials of this integration approach.In this first book the fundamentals of this new approach on integrated communication, navigation, sensing and services (Conasense) will be elucidated. Furthermore, several applications illustrate some of the aims of Conasense. Two major areas have been selected1. Quality of life2. Intelligent Conasense architecturesTopics in the book on 'quality of life' include:• Visionary plans on health, security, neurophysics, indoor and outdoor safeguarding: in all these areas new Conasense technology and systems are essential.Topics in the book on intelligent Conasense architectures concern:• a framework describing novelties in Conasense technology needed to realize the aimed improve in 'quality of life'.• Breakthroughs on full integration of space-based and terrestrial communication and navigation systems with advanced high resolution sensing of the local environment supplemented with geographical information at regionals, national and international scales.

Activities on integrated communications, navigation, sensing and services are urgently needed in a wide range of human-centered and/or device-centered system applications. They require a multi-disciplinary approach. It is foreseen that the economic scale of these activities are comparable with the present scale of wireless communications. The area in which systems operate can vary from personal area network to global network.This book covers the following topics;• CONASENSE Architecture• Performance Analyses of Integrated Communication Systems• Cognitive Radio Networks• Brain Computer Interfacing• Quality Improvement of Generic Services• Machine to Machine communications• Chip to Chip CommunicationsThus, the multi-disciplinary approach get attention in the book.

The future society would be ushered in a new communication era with the emergence of 5G. 5G would be significantly different, especially, in terms of architecture and operation in comparison with the previous communication generations (4G, 3G...). This book discusses the various aspects of the architecture, operation, possible challenges, and mechanisms to overcome them. Further, it supports users’ interac- tion through communication devices relying on Human Bond Communication and COmmunication-NAvigation- SENsing- SErvices (CONASENSE). Topics broadly covered in this book are; • Wireless Innovative System for Dynamically Operating Mega Communications (WISDOM) • Millimeter Waves and Spectrum Management • Cyber Security • Device to Device Communication Content: Introduction WISDOM Concept and Challenges SMNAT and Enabler of Device-to-Device Communication Dynamic Spectrum Management and mm-WAVES Cyber Security and Threats Beyond 2020

This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the theory (physical principles), design, and practical implementations of various sensors for scientific, industrial, and consumer applications. This latest edition focuses on the sensing technologies driven by the expanding use of sensors in mobile devices. These new miniature sensors will be described, with an emphasis on smart sensors which have embedded processing systems. The chapter on chemical sensors has also been expanded to present the latest developments. Digital systems, however complex and intelligent they may be, must receive information from the outside world that is generally analog and not electrical. Sensors are interface devices between various physical values and the electronic circuits that "understand" only a language of moving electrical charges. In other words, sensors are the eyes, ears, and noses of silicon chips. Unlike other books on sensors, the Handbook of Modern Sensors is organized according to the measured variables (temperature, pressure, position, etc.). This book is a reference text for students, researchers interested in modern instrumentation (applied physicists and engineers), sensor designers, application engineers and technicians whose job it is to understand, select and/or design sensors for practical systems.
