Call for papers: Wireless & Mobile Networks

A special issue of International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing

Wireless and mobile technologies represent a rapidly emerging area of development and importance for providing ubiquitous access to the network for all end users. The wireless and mobile computing domain emerges from the integration among personal computing, networks, communication technologies, cellular technology and internet technology. Many modern applications are emerging in the area of mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. This special issue is intended to cover contributions in both the design and analysis in the context of mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, and sensor networks. The special issue will additionally select high quality papers from The First International Workshop on Wireless & Mobile Networks (WiMo-2009) to be held in Australia, July 2009.

Authors are solicited to contribute to this special issue by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in areas which include but are not limited to:

• Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobile and wireless networks
• Distributed algorithms of mobile computing
• OS and middleware support for mobile computing and networking
• Routing and communication primitives in ad-hoc and sensor networks
• Synchronisation and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc networks
• Resource management in mobile, wireless and ad-hoc networks
• Data management on mobile and wireless computing
• Integration of wired and wireless networks
• Broadband access networks
• Energy saving protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks
• Complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments
• Information access in wireless networks
• Algorithms and modelling for tracking and locating mobile users
• Satellite communications
• Cryptography, security and privacy of mobile and wireless networks
• Performance of mobile and wireless networks and systems
• Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks
• Wireless multimedia systems
• Service creation and management environments for mobile/wireless systems
• Recent trends in mobile and wireless applications
