[Fwd: [Cost290] CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks]
by Lars Wolf 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] CFP: Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Datum: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:22:29 +0000 Von: Seán Murphy <sean.murphy(a)iname.com> An: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi CC: Raouf Boutaba <rboutaba(a)uwaterloo.ca>, Albert Banchs <banchs(a)it.uc3m.es> CALL FOR PAPERS Computer Networks Special Issue on Multi-Hop Wireless Access Networks Multi-hop wireless networking is an area that is currently receiving much attention within both industry and academia. Over the last number of years significant energies have been focused on specific areas, notably ad hoc networking and sensor networking. More recently, multi-hop techniques are being viewed as an important component of next generation radio access networks, in which end user terminals may be multiple wireless hops from the wired infrastructure. Most of these multi-hop radio access deployments are characterized by intermediate nodes with limited mobility which differentiates these problems from those arising in an ad hoc domain. This approach provides a number of advantages over more typical single-hop wireless access solutions: firstly, it can provide increased coverage at low cost, which is very important in initial network rollout; secondly, it can support increased network capacity as the network matures; thirdly, such systems are typically much more flexible than previous variants with greater support for self-configuration and system adaptation, which leads to management and maintenance cost savings. However, realizing these benefits is highly non-trivial, requiring an excellent understanding of all aspects of a radio system. There are a number of interesting initiatives in this space. A number of standards are currently being defined – 802.11s, 802.16j to mention two. The new radio systems which will be developed under the ITU’s IMT-advanced initiative will have some multihop capabilities and there is also interest within the more traditional cellular community in relay architectures. Hence, work in this area can have a significant impact in a standardization context and it is well positioned to ultimately be adopted by the market. While considerable energy has been expended on some of these problems, many challenges remain. Contributions for this special issue are sought which focus on recent research results describing innovative solutions to problems in this domain. Topics of interest include – although are not limited to – the following: • Distributed channel management techniques • Novel MAC mechanisms for multihop contexts • Routing in 802.11 mesh networks • Use of multi-hop architectures in cellular systems (W-CDMA, CDMA2000) • Mesh and relay systems based on 802.11s and 802.16j • Mobility support in mesh and relay systems • Power control considerations for mesh and relay architectures • Network planning for relay based systems • Performance analysis of multi-hop networks • Self-configuration and management techniques • Results from trials, testbeds and real-world scenarios Submission Prospective authors are invited to prepare their papers according to the instructions laid out in the Instructions to Authors at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet. Manuscripts should be clearly organized, written in proper English and submitted via the web interface at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing the Article Type: MultiHop Wireless Acc.NW Important dates Manuscript Due 1 May 2008 Acceptance Notification 1 September 2008 Final Revised Manuscript Due 1 November 2008 Guest Editors Prof. Raouf Boutaba University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada rboutaba(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca Dr. Seán Murphy University College Dublin Dublin 4, Ireland sean.murphy(a)iname.com Prof. Albert Banchs University Carlos III Madrid 28911 Spain banchs(a)it.uc3m.es _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290

Indeed, networked computing resources shall become invisible to users and cooperatively provide them with the right services at the right time. At the same time, ad hoc networks are wireless infrastructureless systems dynamically formed by co-operating nodes within communication range of each other. As such, they appear as an attractive networking paradigm for ambient computing. The aim of the workshop is to investigate the contribution of ad hoc networks to the realization of the ambient computing vision, from supporting algorithms and protocols to emerging computing paradigms and software system architectures. Topics for the workshop include but are not limited to: - Ambient peer to peer networks - Context awareness using sensor networks - Cross-layer design and optimization in ad hoc networks - Dependability in ad hoc networks - Engineering ambient computing systems - Middleware for ambient computing - Mobile data management in ad hoc networks - Next generation networks for ambient computing - Opportunistic networking for ambient computing - Quality of service in ambient computing - Scalability in ambient ad hoc networks - Security, privacy & trust in ambient computing - Service oriented ambient computing - Situation awareness in ambient computing - Social groups in ad hoc networks - System architectures for ambient computing - User-centered ambient systems The overall goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on the numerous topics related to ad hoc ambient computing, aiming to provide an environment for sharing experiences and initiating collaborations. Proceedings: ------------ The workshop proceedings will be published by HAL (http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/), a tool intended to promote the best possible dissemination of research work. Post-publication of best papers in a special journal issue is further investigated.
