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

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describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any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
