=====================================================================
Aims and Scope:
------------------------------
With the explosive proliferation of mobile communications and wireless
computing devices, the scalability property is becoming an increasingly
popular and important issue in wireless communication research, as it
has been recognized as one of the key features for supporting pervasive
networking scenarios.
The scalability concept involves several dimensions, like the node
number, the data load, the user/application number, etc, and it is the
basis to break up the cellular concept enriching it by multi-hop
communications. Nevertheless, many aspects of scalable wireless
communications are still open problems and, furthermore, some of the
scalable solutions for wireless networks proposed so far are based on
ideal assumptions not always justified in the practical applications.
The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art
research contributions that address the major opportunities and
challenges of scalable wireless communication and networking, with
emphasis on the design, the analysis and the evaluation of new
techniques and novel application scenarios.
Topics of Interest:
------------------------------
Original, unpublished contributions addressing application and
architectures, systems and protocols design, development and analysis,
in all areas related to scalable wireless networks are solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- congestion, scheduling and admission control
- MAC and data link algorithms
- routing, broadcasting and multicasting protocols
- transport-layer protocols
- data transportation, dissemination, aggregation, replication and
management
- resource allocation, discovery and management
- context and location-aware services
- power-aware architectures, algorithms and protocols design
- security and privacy
- Quality of Service (QoS) and fairness provisioning
- cross-layer design and optimization
- information theoretic aspects of large scale wireless networks
- innovative modulation and coding techniques
- wireless sensor networks
- mobile, mesh and vehicular ad hoc networks
- opportunism and cooperation for scalable communications
- scalable peer-to-peer and delay-tolerant networks
- modeling and simulation methodologies for large scale wireless
networks
- practical issues, prototypes and test beds design to investigate
scalability
- challenges arising from new technologies (UWB, MIMO, beam forming,
Cognitive Radio, etc.)
Important dates:
------------------------------
Paper submission due: October 1, 2009
Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2010
Camera-ready version due: March 1, 2010
Submissions:
------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit full papers describing original research,
unpublished and not currently under review by another conference or
journal.
Papers previously appeared in proceedings of conferences could be
submitted
to this special issue if they are substantially revised or improved from
their earlier versions with at least 30% of new materials.
The manuscripts should follow the 9 1/2? x 6 1/2? template available on
http://www.inderscience.com/mapper.php?id=64.
A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for
submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines page
http://www.inderscience.com/mapper.php?id=31.
All submitted manuscripts will be judged based on the correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance and quality of
presentation
through a double-blind peer review process.
