Smart environments based on Wireless Sensor Networks represent the next evolutionary development step in engineering, such as industrial automation, video surveillance, traffic monitoring, and robot control.Sensory data come from multiple networks of interconnected sensors with complex distributed locations.Wireless Sensor Networks are used in many civilian applications nowadays.On the other side, the high volume demands of human civilization and society progress have given giant feedback to wireless sensor networks.The main objective of this special issue is to present the original research and review articles on the latest theoretical and practical achievements that will contribute to the field of Wireless Smart Sensor Networks and the applications in engineering.The special issue received 36 high quality submissions from different countries all over the world.All submitted manuscripts have followed the same standard (peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers) as applied to regular ones to this journal.Inevitably, difficult decisions had to be made, and some high-quality submissions could not be included.The primary guideline was to demonstrate Wireless Smart Sensor Networks System and Trends.Besides, some novel research questions from different applications in engineering that are worthy of further investigation in the future are also included.
