A Special Issue on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks"

http://www.elsevier.com/framework_products/promis_misc/cfp_.pdf

For well over a decade, the international
community has invested significant effort conducting research on ad hoc and
sensor networks. These networks show promise to support the development of
always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was
natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in
designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high
performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities
highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks.
Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential
offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS
requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional
architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we
lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a
comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack.

Scope of Contributions

The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art
research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the
key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original
manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under
review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks
-Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design
-Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor
networks
-Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks
-Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks
-Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications
-Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control
-Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity
-Cross-layer error and delay control
-Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks
-Cross-layer design of MIMO systems
-Multi-user detection in cross-layer design
-Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results
-Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks
-Cross-layer design for P2P streaming
-Cross-layer design for multimedia systems
-Cross layer issues in vehicular networking
