Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: An International Journal
Special Issue on
User-oriented, Service-oriented and Spontaneous Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/AHSWN/AHSWN.html

Overview

There are many Ad Hoc Wireless Networks where several types of users and services \
must be integrated. In a user-oriented network, the service quality and the \
corresponding service for each user must be guaranteed. On the other hand, the user \
behaviour and the services offered for the users could affect to the wireless ad hoc \
network performance. A spontaneous ad hoc network enables a group of users to work \
together collaboratively coming together at the same time, and very close to each \
other, to be able to communicate. They seek to imitate human relationships in order \
to work together in groups, running on an existing technology. The devices used for \
this type of networks have limited resources, few computing capacity and low energy \
consumption. They can be used for the integration of services and users in order to \
solve a problem or to carry out a specific task, or for sharing services and \
resources, with no dependence on a central server. The range of environments in whic! \
h these networks can be applied is  wide and may include many user collaboration ad \
hoc wireless systems.

Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review \
in any other journal. The topics suggested can be discussed in term of concepts, \
state of the art, standards, designs, implementations, running experiments or \
applications. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-	Network protocols and architectures
-	Self-organization and self-configuration algorithms
-	Nodes cooperation and distributed coordination
-	Security, privacy, data integrity, authentication and trust
-	Energy models, design and management
-	Integration with other systems
-	Location and mobility management 
-	Resource provisioning, dynamic resource management and quality of service
-	Fault tolerance and reliability 
-	Modelling and simulation techniques 
-	Design and deployment of embedded system platforms
-	Software platforms and development tools 
-	Practical implementations, developments and real-world experiences 

Important dates:

Paper submission: June 1, 2010
Acceptance notification: September 15, 2010
Final Papers:  October 15, 2010
Tentative Publication: 1st quarter 2011

Submission Guidelines:

The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research work \
which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.  \
Papers previously published in conference/workshop proceedings can be considered, but \
should be substantially extended. An electronic copy of the complete manuscript and \
any supplementary material should be sent by e-mail to the corresponding editor \
(jlloret@dcom.upv.es). Each submission must be clearly identified as a submission for \
this special issue by writing the Special Issue title in the subject. The submission \
must include the title, abstract of your paper, and the corresponding author's name \
and affiliation. All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance \
with the journal review procedures. They will be rigorously reviewed based on the \
quality: originality, high scientific quality, organization and clarity of writing, \
and support provided for assertions and conclusion.

Submission Format:

All submissions should be made as Microsoft Word or pdf documents. All manuscripts \
must be submitted in English. Manuscripts submitted as Microsoft Word documents \
should be double-spaced, presented in an easily readable, standard font and size \
(such as 10 or 12 pt. Times or Arial). All pages should be numbered. Manuscripts \
submitted as pdf documents are encouraged to follow the layout guidelines provided by \
the publisher (http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/Layout%20Guidelines.pdf). More \
information about the paper format is provided in: \
