Call for papers: "Dynamism and Mobility Handling in Mobile and Wireless Networking"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing.

The ever-increasing market penetration of smartphones, tablets and netbooks, along with the ubiquitous availability of wireless networks, are deeply influencing the way people live, work, interact and socialise. The broad popularity and diffusion of innovative services and applications tailored at mobile users is also raising challenging research issues that require us to rethink available mobile technology solutions to meet the emerging needs of a broader and ever-growing user base.

This special issue aims at addressing recent research results regarding the ways to handle dynamism and mobility in mobile and wireless networking and to present methodologies, models, simulation tools, applications, works in progress and real world experiences. We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
  • Cloud computing support for mobile services and applications
  • Data-centred architectures and protocols
  • Green communications models, architectures and networking solutions
  • Self-organised networks, services and applications
  • Content distribution networks
  • Social networking solutions for pervasive and mobile environments
  • Vehicular communications and vehicular ad-hoc networks
  • Wireless-enabled peer-to-peer services and applications
  • Internet of things
  • Machine type communications
  • Context-aware middleware design, services and applications
  • Long term evolution engineering and femtocells
  • Emerging topics in wireless and mobile computing and communications
  • Security, trust and privacy in wireless/mobile communications
  • Communication networks and architectures for smart grids
Important Dates
Submission deadline: 10 November, 2013 (extended)
Decision notification: 10 January, 2014
Revised paper submission: 30 February, 2014
