The field of mobile and wireless networking is reemerging amid =
unprecedented=20
growth in the scale and diversity of computer networking. However, many =
today's wireless local area networks (WLAN) need an infrastructure =
network.=20
Infrastructure networks not only provide access to other networks, but =
also=20
include forwarding functions, medium access control, etc. In these=20
infrastructure-based wireless networks, communication typically takes =
place=20
only between the wireless nodes and the access point, but not directly =
between=20
the wireless nodes. Ad hoc wireless networks, however, do not need any=20
infrastructure to work. Each node can communicate with another node; no =
access=20
point controlling medium access is necessary.=20
As opposed to a LAN wired networks, a mobile ad-hoc communication =
network will=20
have mobile clients as well as mobile servers, without a pre-existing=20
communication infrastructure. The dynamic re-configurability of=20
such a network poses challenges in such diverse areas as routing, =
bandwidth=20
management, data management, location management, frequent =
disconnections,=20
mobile file handling, wireless broadcasting, network reliability and =
security.=20
Papers are sollicited for a special issue of the Journal of Distributed=20
Computing (JPDC) on Mobile Ad-hoc Networking and Computing The purpose=20
of this special issue is to focus on all aspects of mobile ad-hoc =
networking.
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
o- Mobile communication network architecture
(e,g., self-organizing network architectures and protocols, etc.)
o- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, geocast, content-based, etc.) =
for mobile and wireless ad hoc networks
o- Synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile ad-hoc systems.=20
o- Data management and mobility management for wireless ad-hoc =
networks=20
o- Security and fault-tolerance issues for ad hoc networks
o- Resource and information management;
o- Pervasive computing=20
o- Distributed algorithms for ad hoc networks
(e.g., leader election, group management, etc.)
o- Low power and energy-efficient designs
o- Sensor networks=20
o- Performance, analysis and simulation of mobile networking protocols;
o- Measuring and negotiating quality of service (QoS)=20
o- Applications of ad hoc networks (distributed databases,=20
wireless multimedia, civilian and non-civilian appliactions, etc.) =20
Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted elsewhere for =
publication.
Authors are encouraged to submit papers in electronic form (postcript =
only)
to the Guest Editor: Prof. Azzedine Boukerche (boukerche@cs.unt.edu) by
**July 25, 2001**. Five copies of the manuscripts can also be submitted. =
Each submission must accompany a short abstract, names of authors and =
their=20
affiliations (e-mail adresses, telephone and fax numbers), and a contact =
person for correspondence. All of the articles will be reviewed for =
their=20
originality and their contribution following the JPDC's standards and =
criteria.
