on how smart communications has affect some aspects (protocols, design,
equipment, algorithms, paradigm, power, etc.) for a large family of
applications (Healthcare, Medical, Underwater, Vehicular, Robotic, etc.) using
network technologies (Sensor Networks, MANET, VANET, etc.). Indeed, autonomous
applications embedded in complex configurations and dynamic environments have
rapidly expanded from classical applications where different modular devices,
actuators and sensors interact closely. This has impacted considerably the
control of a given system in a centralized manner. Current trends are to
propose new autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control future
emerging networks: sky of clouds, Internet of things, Smart Grids, etc.
Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting
dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of
the potential scenarios of convergence between autonomous systems and smart
network technologies. These applications, (which are based on high-level
commands) accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding
mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support and efficiency, control
theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which are vital
challenges that limit substantially the efficiency of any autonomous system
based application; network paradigms should also take into account issues
related to cost, scalability and security. </span></div>
