-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tcgn] SpecialIssueCFP-Generalized-Ad-Hoc-Networks-and-QoS Date: Mon, 5 May 2003 13:49:07 -0700 From: erdal@itu <cayirci(a)cs.itu.edu.tr> Reply-To: tcgn(a)majordomo.ieee.org To: <tcgn(a)ieee.org> Call for Papers Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc Special Issue on: Generalized Ad Hoc Networks (GAHN) and Quality of Service (QoS) Data networks increasingly offer users a wide variety of networking modalities, both wired and wireless, allowing user traffic to be routed over many alternate paths, at different costs, with different levels of QoS, reliability, robustness and power consumption. We will call such systems "Generalized Ad Hoc Networks" (GAHN), and the concept includes conventional wireless ad hoc networks. By the term "user" we do not "just" mean the end user: we include a variety of economic agents, such as ISPs, who derive benefit from the data being carried, and we also include all the other lower level agents including common carriers. However, the actual paths, costs, and QoS outcomes received by these users remain generally opaque to the most of them, and appear at a "per connection" result for the end user, and at aggregate economic levels for many other actors. QoS itself should be understood broadly, including concerns about reliability and robustness, power utilization, pricing and economics and obviously also conventional QoS metrics. This special issue seeks visionary and forward looking papers based on sound technical arguments, experimental designs, measurements, or theoretical analysis, which address QoS in GAHN. Of course, technical contributions relating QoS to conventional wireless ad hoc networks are also welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to: - QoS and routing in AHN and GAHN - Power aware routing - Combining routing and priority schemes in AHN - Composite and multicriterion QoS metrics - Using concepts from eceonomics and game theory in GAHN - Mixed wired and wireless AHN design - Security in GAHN and AHN - Experimental systems and test-beds Papers not to exceed 25 pages should be submitted electronically in the form of a postscript file, before September 1 2003, to Prof. Erol Gelenbe at erol(a)cs.ucf.edu <mailto:erol@cs.ucf.edu> -- The time-table for this special issue will be as follows: Submission Deadline: September 1, 2003 Decision Notification: Dec. 15, 2003 Publication Date: Second Quarter of 2004 Erol Gelenbe erol(a)cs.ucf.edu <mailto:erol@cs.ucf.edu> Tel: 407 823 0345 Fax: 407 823 5419

We think you and your colleagues may want to contribute to this special issue. Best Regards, Michael Fang, University of Florida Phone Lin, National Taiwan Univ. Jason Lin, National Chiao Tung Univ. %%%%%% CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mobility and Resource Management IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Manuscript submission date: October 1, 2003 Acceptance notification: January 15, 2004 Final manuscript due: March 15, 2004 Publication date: June 15, 2004 Theme With the rapidly growing demand for "anywhere, anytime" high-speed Internet access, many advanced radio and network technologies have already been developed. Integration of these different technologies will be an essential trend in the near future. In such a heterogeneous environment, the "mobility and resource management" issue becomes very critical, particularly for the QoS support with various kinds of services. Not only user mobility and resource provisioning within a single network should be considered, but also seamless cross network services and interactions should be provided. Many issues need to be addressed for mobility and resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks, including the integration of the mobility protocols adopted in different network; the impacts of user mobility on and the integration with network resource management and power consumption of handheld devices; support of IP protocols on mobile computing systems for seamless tier mobility. Furthermore, security and privacy need to be addressed for roaming users from network to network. Modeling technologies and performance analysis are needed to address new types of mobility and resource management in heterogeneous networks. Topics of Interest This special issue is targeted at the above issues related to mobility and resource management. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this special issue. Topics include, but are not limited to: (a) Mobility and resource management schemes for future telecommunications systems (including UMTS, cdma-2000, and TD-SCDMA) (b) Impact of mobility on and integration with resource management (c) Impact of mobility on power consumption and strategy for energy conservation (d) Mobile IP and SIP mobility (e) Security and privacy Issues in mobility management (f) Mobility and resource aware applications (g) Analytical modeling and performance analysis Submission Instruction All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html. Electronic submissions are accepted only in Postscript and PDF formats and should be sent to ieee-wc-mr(a)csie.ntu.edu.tw <mailto:ieee-wc-mr@csie.ntu.edu.tw> directly.
