oa PREFACE

It is a great pleasure to present the inaugural issue of International Journal of Sensors, Wireless Communications and Control. The idea to publish a journal on these areas is developed due to the emergence of high speed wireless network technologies such as fourth generation mobile broadband wireless, broadband fixed wireless access, and wireless local area networks, which allows a cluster of sensor, controller and plants to be linked together economically to form a wireless networked system. Wireless networked systems have raised and continue to raise fundamental challenges in the fields of science, engineering and industrial applications, hence, more up-to-the-minute modeling techniques, problem formulations and solutions are required. The journal will serve as a publishing platform for both the scientific results of the above mentioned issues as well as for other research articles, reviews and communications related to wireless networked systems. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bentham Science Publishers for appointing me as Editor-in-Chief of the journal, and to acknowledge Ms. Sana Shakeel for her enthusiasm, dedication and continual support.
