ACM/SIGMOBILE MC2R
MOBILE COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS REVIEW
A PUBLICATION OF ACM SIGMOBILE
Call For Papers
Special Issue on: "Wireless PAN & Sensor Networks"
Objectives
Despite of the worldwide recession, especially in the telecommunications market, and \
the delays in the 3G mobile networks' deployment, the vision of a new forth \
generation (4G) all-IP mobile/wireless network is emerging rapidly. In the \
forthcoming 4G era, apart from the installed infrastructure based networks, Wireless \
Personal Area Networks (PANs) and sensor networks are expected to fulfil the \
"anywhere and anytime" ubiquitous services' requirement. Users will require forming \
"ad-hoc" networks to communicate with colleagues at work, at conferences, at \
"hot-spots", at home, or on the move. Moreover Personal Area Networks (PAN) centred \
on the individual himself will evolve. PAN networks will include any collection of \
devices that belong to or are carried by a networked user (e.g. cell phone, laptop, \
earphones, GPS navigator, palm pilot, beeper, portable scanner, etc.) and form \
his/her personal "PAN-bubble". The bubble may expand or shrink dynamically depending \
on user's environment and needs. For example it may connect to routers, sensors or \
actuators. Such access is critical when the mobile user enters into a new location \
and aims to quickly sense and control the environment (e.g. gain access/ \
connectivity, control the temperature, adjust the lighting) or get recognized by the \
environment sensors (e.g. welcome message, uninterrupted communication, automatic \
selection of a background music, etc.) Wireless PAN and sensor networks will require \
sophisticated algorithmic solutions to realize and maintain high-speed, \
cost-effective, energy-efficient and reliable wireless networks. This special issue \
aims to bringing together state-of-the-art contributions and provide a comprehensive \
and updated reference in this field. In this context, the challenges, the protocols, \
the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and sensor \
networks will be addressed. This special issue of the MC2R is devoted to the future \
ad-hoc networks i.e. Wireless Personal Area Networks & Sensor Networks. The purpose \
is to disseminate the recent advances and research activities in these fields and \
provide a comprehensive and updated reference. In this context, the challenges, the \
protocols, the applications and the technologies that enable the wireless PANs and \
sensor networks will be addressed. More specifically, the special issue will cover \
topics that include the architecture, routing and QoS protocols, modelling, \
performance evaluation, and experimentation of ad-hoc PANs and sensor networks. \
Particularly encouraged are articles from industry that discuss the latest industrial \
advances.
Topics
Original research and review papers are solicited that cover (but are not limited to) \
any of the following areas:
- Self-organized, auto-configured ad-hoc networks
- Intelligent multi-hop routing in ad-hoc PAN/sensor networks
- QoS in ad-hoc PAN networks
- Multimedia ad-hoc communications
- Resource discovery and self-configuration of
- Applications in Wireless PANs/sensor networks
- Radio resource management
- WPANs in 4G networks
- Intelligent mobile agents
- Implementation and performance evaluation
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
