@article{Sheu_2016, title={Preface}, volume={6}, url={https://ojs.imeti.org/index.php/IJETI/article/view/51}, abstractNote={<p>This is the Part 1 of the Special Issue on Innovations and Applications in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks. There are 6 papers which are selected from the many submission to this special issue. They cover many scientific and engineering challenges from both academia and industry, especially for the development of power consumption reduction, efficient and reliable Wireless Sensor Networks based on Internet of Thing (IoT). All of the papers submitted to this special issue subsequently underwent a rigorous peer-review by members of the Editorial Board of International Journal of Engineering and Technology Innovation (IJETI). Accordingly, acceptance for publication in this special issue was based on reviewer recommendations, mandatory revision, and final examination by the guest editor. It is also expected to offer some significant points which related to the innovations and applications in the field of wireless sensor networks.</p><p>     I also wish to thank the many academicians, researchers and people who contributed their expertise to this important issue and for their efforts to bring this project fruition. In particular, I would deeply acknowledge the efforts of Professor Wen-Hsiang Hsieh, Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Engineering and Technology Innovation (IJETI), for his kind support to the publication of this special issue.</p><p> </p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: right;" align="right"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Guest Editor</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: right;" align="right"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Dr. Jia-Shing Sheu</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: right;" align="right"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Associate Professor,</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: right;" align="right"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Department of Computer Science,</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: right;" align="right"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">National Taipei University of Education,</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: right;" align="right"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Taiwan, ROC</span></span></p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p><p align="right"> </p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Engineering and Technology Innovation}, author={Sheu, Jia-Shing}, year={2016}, month={Jan.}, pages={vi} }
