Chaos and Complex Systems in Sensor Networks

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the MDPI journal Electronics, titled "Chaos and Complex Systems in Sensor Networks", focuses on the dynamic interplay of chaos theory and complex systems within the realm of sensor networks. Sensor networks have become integral in numerous applications, ranging from environmental monitoring to industrial automation. Understanding and leveraging chaos and complexity in these networks can lead to enhanced performance, reliability, and unprecedented security.

The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together recent advances and cutting-edge research on the integration of chaos theory and complex systems in sensor networks. The Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art and highlight the challenges, opportunities, and future directions in this evolving field.

The scope of the Special Issue is interdisciplinary, bringing together experts from various fields, such as computer science, electrical engineering, applied nonlinear dynamics, and communications. The Special Issue is designed to be a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and engineers working with sensor networks and to provide them with insights into the latest developments and trends in chaos and complex systems.

The focus of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following themes:

• The modeling of chaotic systems in sensor networks;
• Chaos-based sensors;
• Chaotic communications;
• Low-power chaotic oscillators;
• Chaos theory in network security and privacy;
• Nonlinear dynamics and predictive modeling in sensor data;
• Fault detection and diagnosis using chaotic systems;
• Control of chaos in distributed sensor networks;
• Adaptive algorithms for robust sensor network design;
• Energy efficiency and optimization in chaotic sensor networks;
• Reviews focusing on chaos and complexity in sensor networks.

This Special Issue provides a valuable supplement to the existing literature by bringing together a wide range of perspectives on the use of chaos and complex systems in sensor networks. The Special Issue serves as an excellent resource for researchers and practitioners who are interested in exploring the potential of these theories for advancing sensor network technology.
