Call for Papers

Special issue on: Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh Networks
Telecommunication Systems Journal, Springer, US

http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/CFP_11235_20080206.pdf

The last few years have experienced a steep growth in research in the area
of infrastructure-less networks such as wireless ad
hoc, sensor and mesh networks. Even though these networks hold great
promises for our future, there are several challenges
that need to be addressed. This special issue aims to publish high quality
research papers relating to different experimental,
simulation, algorithmic and theoretical aspects of mobile ad hoc networks,
sensor networks, mesh networks, and other
related areas. Manuscripts relating to these issues will be invited from
researchers working in these areas worldwide. Topics
of primary interest include, but not limited to, the following issues in
ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks:

• Addressing and location management
• Power-awareness and energy-efficiency
• Routing and traffic engineering
• Quality of service
• Resource allocation
• Self-configuring and self-healing schemes
• Mobility management
• Fault tolerance
• Cross-layer interactions
• Error control
• Media access control
• Security and privacy
