[Tccc] Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies

Telecommunication Systems Journal, Springer Special Issue on "Mobile
Computing and Networking Technologies"

Description

The new social, economic and technological trends having evolved worldwide
such as the increasing demand for productivity and effectiveness with the
pressure to respond immediately to customer requirements have created
increased need for access to information anywhere in the world at anytime.
Considering the present telecommunication environment, which is an
amalgamation of a large number of networks and administrative domains
employing various access technologies, combined with the increased user
mobility makes it difficult to promise the same grade of service quality at
all parts of the network. The convergence of information communications
technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for
ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological
restrictions.

The demanding networking environment of wireless communications imposes
several challenges in terms of network design, channel estimation,
propagation and radio resource management offering a variety of high quality
multimedia applications. Overcoming these issues becomes even more demanding
due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management
policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent
transmission impairments of wireless links, and user mobility.

This Special Issue aims to publish high quality, original, unpublished
research papers covering all aspects related to Mobile Computing and
Networking Technologies. In addition, this Special Issue collects extended
versions of best papers from IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing and
Networking Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09).

Submission Guidelines

Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions
representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be
carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness,
and clarity of exposition. Authors should follow the Telecommunication
Systems
(http://www.springer.com/business/business+information+systems/journal/11235
) manuscript format as described in the Instruction to Authors. Manuscripts
(pdf and source files) must be directly emailed the following email address:
wmcnt09@gmail.com with clear indication that the submission is for the
Special Issue Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (use "SI
Submission - MCNT - JTS" as the e-mail subject). All manuscripts should
include a cover letter containing the title of the paper, full names and
affiliations, complete postal and electronic addresses, phone and fax
numbers, an abstract, and some keywords. The contacting author should be
clearly identified. Moreove!

r, a short biography (up to 200 words) and a jpg picture of each author
should be given at the end of the manuscript. All papers will be peer
reviewed based on their originality and high scientific quality. In
addition, this Special Issue collects extended version of best papers from
IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies 2009
(WMCNT09), which should be a least 30% new compared to the workshop papers.
