Theoretical and Algorithmic Foundations of Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor
Networks

Call for Papers

This special issue is devoted to distributed algorithms and theoretical
methods in the context of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Recent
research in mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks raises a
number of interesting, and difficult, theoretical and algorithmic issues.
While much work has been done in protocol and system design, simulation, and
experimental study for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, the theoretical
research, however, falls short of the expectation of the future networking
deployment. The needs to push the theoretical research forward for a deeper
understanding about wireless ad hoc and sensor networking and to foster
cooperation among networking researchers and theoreticians establish the
motivation behind this special issue.

The objective of this special issue is to gather recent advances in the
areas of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, with a focus on theoretical
and algorithmic aspect. In particular, it will concentrate on distributed
algorithms, randomized algorithms, analysis and modeling, optimizations, and
theoretical methods in design and analysis of networking protocol (at link
layer or network layer) for wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. Specific
topics for this special issue dedicated to theoretical and algorithmic
foundations include but are not limited to:

· Channel assignment and management

· Distributed and localized algorithms

· Dynamic and random networks

· Dynamic graph algorithms

· Energy conservation methods

· Localization and location tracking

· Mechanism design and game theory

· Modeling and complexity analysis

· Routing, multicast, and broadcast

· Scheduling and synchronization

· Throughput optimization and capacity
