The International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks A low-speed industrial network that is used to connect sensors to actuators. A sensor network implies limited or no controller functions. Multiple sensor networks may be coupled to form device networks. See industrial control network. is a new quarterly that will launch in 2005 for researchers in robotics robotics, science and technology of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Contrary to the popular fiction image of robots as ambulatory machines of human appearance capable of performing almost any task, most robotic systems are anchored to fixed positions , AI, computer science and engineering, mathematics and medical sciences, as well as academics in a range of fields. It is being launched to serve as a medium for the exchange of information about the impact of research on DSNs and their potential application. Articles will highlight advances in uses of DSN DSN - Digital Switched Network systems for solving computational Having to do with calculations. Something that is "highly computational" requires a large number of calculations. tasks in manufacturing, engineering and environmental systems. An annual subscription costs $110 for individuals and $275 for institutions. Journal of Peace Education will be published twice a year beginning in 2005 to link theory and research to educational practice, with further research on peace education, theory, curriculum and pedagogy.
