[Tccc] CFP: Special Section on "Implementation, Experiments, and Practice for Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks", IEICE Trans. on Comm.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Section on
"Implementation, Experiments, and Practice for Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks"

Submission Deadline: December 8, 2009

The IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication
Engineers) Transactions on Communications announces a forthcoming
Special Section on "Implementation, Experiments, and Practice for Ad
Hoc and Mesh Networks," to be published in August 2010. With the
increasing needs of impromptu and wireless network infrastructure and
strenuous efforts of researchers and developers, ad hoc and mesh
networks are now becoming a reality. Along with theoretical research
activities, several attempts have been made on building, operating,
and testing an ad hoc network in these years. So that we can bring ad
hoc and mesh networks from theory to practice, we need to derive and
collect much know-how, observation, and findings from practical
experiments on ad hoc and mesh networks operating in an actual
environment and develop devices, algorithms, mechanisms, protocols,
applications, and systems based on lessons learned from these
activities. This special section will present the latest R&D
activities in implementation, experiments, and practice for ad hoc and
mesh networks to foster development and deployment of practical ad hoc
networks, which would bring great benefits to our social life.

Scope: Scopes of the special section include, but are not limited to,
the followings:
(1) Constructing, operating, and experimenting a test-bed
(2) Ad hoc and mesh network protocols considering actual environments
(3) Practical experiments on prototypes
(4) Issues and solutions specific for practical ad hoc and mesh networks
(5) Design of practical application systems

Submission Instructions: Manuscript should be prepared according to
the guideline given in the "Information for Authors." The latest
version is available at the web site,
http://www.ieice.org/eng/shiori/mokuji_cs.html.
The standard number of pages is 8 for a PAPER and 2 for a LETTER. The
maximum number of pages for the initial submission of a LETTER is 4.
The page charges are considerably higher for extra pages. The term for
revising the manuscript after acknowledgement of conditional
acceptance for this special section could be shorter than that for
regular issues (60 days) because of the tight review schedule. In this
special section, only electronic submissions are accepted. Authors are
requested to follow carefully the submission process described below.

1. Submit a manuscript and electronic source files (TeX/Word files,
figures, authors' photos and biography) for publishing using the
IEICE Web site https://review.ieice.org/regist_e.aspx by December 8, 2009.
Authors should choose the [Special-EB] Implementation, Experiments,
and Practice for Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks as a "Type of Issue/Category
of Transactions" on the online screen. Do not choose [Regular-EB].

2. "Copyright Transfer and Page Charge Agreement" and "Confirmation
Sheet of Manuscript Registration" must be sent by E-mail, FAX or
postal mail to the following address (guest editor of the special
section) so as they arrive by the deadline. There is a possibility
that we shall withdraw the manuscript without receiving them by the
deadline, even if we have received the manuscript by electronic
submission.
