-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: P2PNA SI on "Protocols and Algorithms for Mobile and Wireless Peer-to-peer Networks" (Submission Deadline: 01 November, 2010) Datum: Sat, 9 Oct 2010 22:16:20 -0400 Von: Mursalin Akon <mursalin(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this announcement] Call for Paper Journal of Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications (Springer) URL: http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/12083 Special Issue on Protocols and Algorithms for Mobile and Wireless Peer-to-peer Networks URL: http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/CFP-12083… In recent years, we have witnessed a paradigm shift in the design of internet scale distributed systems, with widespread proliferation of peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies. Peer-to-peer computing is an encroaching domain of very large scale distributed computing. The concept of P2P computing was developed to enable content distribution which is beyond the means of traditional client-server systems. Since then a number of P2P applications have been evolved. File sharing, voice communication, audio, and video streaming are the popular P2P applications. As a P2P system is a large scale, extremely dynamic, and decentralized system, besides the core logic, a wide range of research issues have to be addressed for deployment. Due to advances in wireless communication technologies, campus and enterprise-wide availability of wireless networks is already a reality. In some cases, an entire metropolitan area is covered by a single wireless network. Smartphones and handheld devices, equipped with modern communication interfaces, allow wireless data access from anywhere and at any time. Those devices and the associated data access services are attracting more consumers due to their decreasing prices. As a result, the demand to port network applications for mobile handheld devices is increasing. However, in spite of many interesting technological developments, wireless networks are still constrained by several factors, such as limited and expensive bandwidth and variable wireless channel conditions. Additionally, capability of mobile devices is restricted by their limited computing power, smaller memory and permanent storage, and extremely small power source. Dynamics of P2P networks simply worsen the scenario and make the deployment of P2P applications in wireless networks challenging. This special issue aims to portrait a picture of the recent studies in the realm of theories, systems and, solutions for P2P networks and applications in wireless and mobile environment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - P2P architectures in wireless and mobile networks - Efficient searches in wireless and mobile P2P networks - Trade-offs between replication, bandwidth, storage, and search costs - Energy aware P2P networks in wireless and mobile networks - Channel/bandwidth awareness in wireless and mobile P2P networks - Business logic in wireless and mobile P2P networks - P2P content distribution in wireless and mobile networks - Caching in wireless and mobile P2P networks The review process is divided into two phases. Only most relevant contributions will be considered for the second phase, where rigorous technical reviews will be requested. Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: 01 November, 2010 Notifications from 1st Phase: 01 December, 2010 Notifications from 2nd Phase: 01 March, 2011 Camera Ready Submission: 15 April, 2011 Date of Publication: Late 2011 Sincerely, Guest Editors, Sagar Naik, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo (snaik(a)uwaterloo.ca) Mursalin Akon, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo (mmakon(a)uwaterloo.ca)

In this context, many national and international collaboration projects currently ongoing practically demonstrate the relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are becoming increasingly interesting and popular due to recent advances in inter-vehicular communication technologies and decreasing cost of communication devices. Differently from traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are not typically affected by energy constraints and can easily be equipped with powerful processing units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and sensing devices such as chemical detectors, still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and promising sensing applications, such as traffic reporting, relief to environmental monitoring, distributed surveillance, only to mention a few promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios. The design, implementation, and deployment of dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable, efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile sensing applications for VSNs, especially over realistic and large-scale deployment environments such as municipalities, presents extraordinary challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing research community. This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing - Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications - Case studies of mobile sensing applications over wide-scale urban environments - Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing - Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration with (possibly legacy) embedded systems - Efficient integration with wide-area networks and with municipal mesh networks - Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing - Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications - Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing - Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications - Performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of VSN supports and applications - Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services - Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies - Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications - Mobility models and vehicle traffic models - Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs - Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs - Practical experience with standards (802.11p, CALM, P1609, ), standard development and evolution - Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs _Submission process: _Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ICC'11 PlanNet - Planning and Optimization of Wireless Communication Networks Datum: Sun, 3 Oct 2010 19:34:23 +0800 Von: Lingyang Song <lingyang.song(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Sorry for the cross posting. ------ IEEE ICC 2011 Workshop on Planning and Optimization of Wireless Communication Networks (PlanNet2011) , Kyoto, Japan, June, 2011 www.ieee-icc.org/2011 **Aim of the Workshop** The goal of future wireless networks is to provide ubiquitous connections and support high data rate demand. The WiMAX, LTE, and LTE-Advanced standardizations have already processed toward this direction but still require significant improvements. Network planning and optimization faces many challenges arising from the use of new air interfaces and new technologies (e.g., MIMO, smart antennas, cooperative relay), the mix of voice, video and data traffic, the co-existence of different RATs (Radio Access Technologies), the growing importance of indoor coverage and the paradigm shifts (e.g., femtocells). The future wireless networks cannot operate efficiently, unless these challenges are properly addressed. This workshop will bring together both the mobile communications industry (operators, telecom vendors, radio network planning and optimization consulting firms and tool producers) and academia to present and discuss the problems, challenges, directions, and state-of-art in the fields of future wireless communication networks deployment, planning and optimization. Topics of interest relating to network planning and optimization and future wireless communications are (but not limited to): * Automatic UMTS/HSPA/LTE/LTE-A/WiFi/WiMAX radio network planning and optimization methods * The use of measurements in radio network planning and optimisation * Indoor network planning and optimization (BBU+RRU, repeaters, DAS, picocells and femtocells) * Heterogeneous wireless networks (UMTS/HSPA/LTE/WiFi/WiMAX/DVB) simulation, planning and optimization * Self-configuration, self-optimization and self-healing in LTE and LTE-Advanced networks * Traffic modeling and real network traffic scenarios **Submission Guidelines** PlanNet accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 5 pages, including tables and figures (up to 2 extra pages at additional cost) in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SI on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks Datum: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:33:31 -0400 Von: Yu Wang <yu.wang(a)uncc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> ********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of International Journal of Network Management on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks http://paws.kettering.edu/~cwu/qos-si-ijnm.html Publication: Fall 2011 Quality of service of wireless networks refers to the collective service performances with respect to the user expectation and the network configuration. Over the years, the wireless networks have not only expanded in their sizes, such as geographical area and number of nodes, but also in the variety of services, users, and deployment environments. Small mobile devices, such as smart phones, that allow instantaneous high speed information access and data processing have radically changed the way of our living. Moreover, the development of ad-hoc networks allows the easy formation of wireless networks for information sharing and data gathering. Due to various factors, wireless networks are constantly changing. For example, the service pattern, workload, available resources (power supply, bandwidth, beacons, nodes etc.) are not fixed. Therefore, it is important to be able to access and manage the quality of services for ensuring the optimal performance of the networks. There are basically two aspects to QoS study in wireless networks. One aspect is accessing and diagnosing the status of the networks and evaluating the current level of service quality. The other aspect is to study the network design to handle the changing factors of the networks so that the quality of service is optimized under the constraint of the available resources and service pattern. The quality of service management and diagnosis of a network is closely related to wide range of fundamental issues such as network topology, routing protocols, resource allocation, communication layer, and working environments etc. The contributed papers will study both practical and theoretical models and algorithms for ensuring the high quality of service in wireless networks and the approaches for quality of service evaluation and diagnosis. This special issue of the International Journal of Network Management is seeking new and unpublished contributions addressing issues in Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks including, but not limited to: * Fault diagnosis * Diagnosis middleware * Reconfigurable networks * Performance evaluation * QoS evaluation model * Self-healing networks * Adaptable resource management * Network simulation platforms * QoS-oriented network planning * QoS-based routing protocols * Data management * Mobility management * Security and privacy Papers describing current research and practice are solicited. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: January 1st, 2011 Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2011 Camera ready: June 1st, 2011 Publication of special issue: Fall, 2011 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers submitted to this journal for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journals. Submissions of both in-depth research papers and review/application-oriented papers are encouraged. Manuscripts for the special issue should be emailed to the guest editors ( emails shown below) in PDF format with the email subject "QoS Management Special Issue - Paper Submission".

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Pervasive Health 2011 :: 2º CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 01:28:32 +0100 Von: Pervasive Health 2011 conference <pervasivehealth2011.conference(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu (We apologize for multiples copies) (Please distribute) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pervasive Health 2011 :: 2º CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pervasive Health 2011 Conference 23rd-26th May, 2011 :: Dublin, Ireland http://www.pervasivehealth.org/ ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Submission deadline: February 4th, 2011 ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It is with great pleasure that we announce the 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare. The overall goal of the conference remains tightly coupled with the original aims of the field, to address a set of related technologies and concepts that help integrate healthcare more seamlessly into everyday life, regardless of space and time. To achieve this, it is necessary to take a multidisciplinary approach to Pervasive Healthcare Technology research and development. The Pervasive Healthcare Community has a broad scope of research topics and concerns: - identifying and understanding problems from a technological, social, and medical perspective (with a particular emphasis on understanding and supporting patient needs); - design, implementation, and evaluation of supporting hardware and software infrastructures, algorithms, and applications; and - organisational strategies that facilitate integration of Pervasive Healthcare Technology into the healthcare enterprise. The 2011 Pervasive Healthcare conference aims to gather technology experts, practitioners, industry and international authorities contributing towards the assessment, development and deployment of pervasive medical based technologies, standards and procedures. The theme of this year’s conference is: Coping with the Challenges and Opportunities within Pervasive E-Healthcare (COPE), with a special focus on pervasive healthcare management and its ability to deliver timely, quality based information to medical practitioners in providing high levels of patient care. The challenges and opportunities within e-Healthcare are immense. A multidisciplinary and coordinated approach is needed from 1) user requirements, 2) technology development and 3) application integration, to help deliver a successful pervasive healthcare management system. Traditional healthcare environments are extremely complex and challenging to manage, as they are required to cope with an assortment of patient conditions under various circumstances with a number of resource constraints. Pervasive healthcare technologies seek to respond to a variety of these pressures by successfully integrating them within existing health care environments. Technologies, standards and procedures on their own provide little and or no meaningful service. It is essential that pervasive healthcare environments, through a combined approach of data collection, data correlation and data presentation, assist health care professionals in delivering high levels of patient care, and empower individuals and their families for self-care and health management. ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTRIBUTIONS ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We welcome contributions from the following fields: - Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health Professions - Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) - Sensing Technologies and Distributed Computing - Hardware and Software Infrastructures We seek novel, innovative, and exciting work in areas including but not limited to: Pervasive Healthcare Management - Challenges surrounding data quality - Standards and interoperability in pervasive healthcare - Business cases and cost issues - Security and privacy issues - Training of healthcare professional for pervasive healthcare - Legal and regulatory issues - Insurance payments and cost aspects - Staffing and resource management Understanding Users - User requirements - Identifying and addressing stakeholder conflicts: patient needs, caregiver needs, health professional needs, organisational needs - Usability and acceptability - Barriers to adoption, and enablers - Social implications of pervasive health technology, and social inclusion - Coverage and delivery of pervasive healthcare services - Patient empowerment - Diversity: population and condition-specific requirements - Inclusive research and design: engaging underrepresented populations Knowledge Representation and Reasoning - Physiological models for interpreting medical sensor data - Activity recognition - Fall detection - User modelling and personalization - Modelling of Pervasive Healthcare environment Technology - Sensor-based decision support systems - Design and evaluation of patient and ambient-related sensors - Wearable and implantable sensor integration - Data fusion in pervasive healthcare environments - Data mining medical patient records - Software architectures e.g. Agent, SOA, distributed middleware - Electronic Health Records (EHR) Applications - Autonomous systems to support independent living - Clinical applications, validation and evaluation studies - Telemedicine - Chronic disease and health risk management applications - Health promotion and disease prevention - Home based health and wellness measurement and monitoring - Continuous vs event-driven monitoring of patients - Smart homes and hospitals - Using mobile devices in the storage, update, and transmission of patient data - Wellbeing and lifestyle support - Systems to support individuals with auditory, cognitive, or vision impairements - Systems to support caregivers ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pervasive Health will accept submissions in the following categories: 1.

Fwd: [Tccc] CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization
by Lars Wolf 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP KIVS2011 Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization Datum: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 13:57:26 +0200 Von: Roland Bless <roland.bless(a)kit.edu> Organisation: Institute of Telematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu =============================================================== KIVS 2011 – NV Workshop Workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Network Virtualization =============================================================== Please see http://tm.kit.edu/NV2011 for latest information. Network Virtualization (NV) is becoming an increasingly important technology for the deployment of new network architectures that try to go beyond the Internet’s current capabilities. Virtualization of whole networks allows for increased flexibility with respect to resource management as well as for an efficient deployment of different network architectures in parallel but isolated from each other (e.g., coexistence of 3G and different beyond 3G mobile networks on the same physical hardware). While some virtualization techniques are well known for links (e.g., VLANs, MPLS, Tunneling, VPNs, and so on) the challenges lie more in virtualization of network nodes, whole networks, and an efficient management thereof. Accordingly, network virtualization has received significant attention in the network research community, but it is a field that is just beginning to be understood; recently an IRTF research group has been formed for this topic. The current technological challenges and solutions for network virtualization are of interest in this workshop. In addition, major drivers for the success of network virtualization are the considered use cases that can be used to derive important requirements for NV architectures. Network virtualization allows providing specialized, dependable, and predictable networks (e.g., a global IP-TV network, a safe kids’ network or a banking network) and also supports network resource scalability, thereby reducing time and overhead required for an introduction of new services (e.g., starting small scale deployments that can grow fast if the service is becoming more mature and popular). The definition of such use cases helps to design and evaluate (technically and economically) NV solutions. The workshop welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent investigation on architectural and design issues as well as related implementation, experimentation, or simulation efforts towards realization of network virtualization for the future Internet. A particular focus lies on use cases for network virtualization. Original papers not under consideration of another conference, workshop or journal are encouraged to submit via Conftool (https://www.conftool.com/kivs11/). Submissions should be written in English, adhere to the eceasst format (special KIVS Workshop template will be provided soon), and comprise no more than 12 pages in total in this format. Accepted papers will be published in the Open-Access-Journal Electronic Communications of the EASST. Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to: • Solutions and drivers • Virtualization technologies, platforms, and architectures • Use cases, applications and services enabled by NV • Business considerations and economic aspects • Network virtualization in data centers • Mobile virtual network operators • Control plane and management plane mechanisms for virtual networks • Resource allocation for co-existing networks • Radio access network sharing • Monitoring in virtualized environments, e.g. QoE or energy consumption • Network virtualization for energy efficiency • Isolation, performance and security Important Dates: ================ • 31.

The paper submission deadline is Monday October 11, 2010 at midnight US/Pacific time. Pervasive is a premier international conference for cutting edge research on the architecture, design, implementation, application and evaluation of pervasive computing technologies. The conference places strong emphasis on both the technological innovation aspects of the field of pervasive computing as well as the ways in which these emerging technologies affect and influence everyday life. For further details of the conference see: http://pervasiveconference.org/2011/ This year’s conference aims to continue the tradition of innovation and excellence in research established by previous Pervasive conferences. We welcome high quality papers, either in Full Paper format (max 18 pages) or Note format (max 8 pages), that describe original and unpublished research advancing the state of the art in pervasive computing, including but not limited to the following topics: - Technologies, devices, and sensors for pervasive computing - Tools and systems for designing, building, and deploying pervasive computing systems - Evaluations and evaluation methods for assessing the impact of pervasive computing devices, applications or environments - Studies of pervasive computing technologies and deployments - Formative and evaluative work of pervasive computing applications - Interfaces and modes of interactions between people and pervasive computing devices, applications or environments - Privacy, security, trust & social issues and implications of pervasive computing Both Full Paper and Notes submissions should offer substantial and original contributions relevant to the field of Pervasive Computing. Papers should be grounded in existing Pervasive Computing literature and knowledge, and should be written for an interdisciplinary Pervasive Computing audience. Papers and notes should not have been previously published or be concurrently under submission for publication for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. Author guidelines ------------------------- Papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the Pervasive 2011 program committee and additional expert reviewers drawn from relevant research communities. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. If a submitted paper overlaps in content with previously published or simultaneously reviewed work, the paper should make explicit how the work offers unique and substantial contribution beyond what has already been published or submitted. Full Papers should include a thorough survey of related work positioning the contribution, a comprehensive, detailed and comprehensible explanation of a device, system, study, theory or method (sufficient for replicability), and compelling validation of the work. Full Papers can be up to 18 pages in LNCS format http://www.springer.com/computer+science/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. Notes should be succinct but complete contributions. Notes will be reviewed in the same process with Full Papers, and will appear in the proceedings and the conference program. Notes can be up to 8 pages in LNCS format http://www.springer.com/computer+science/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. Successful submissions typically break new ground and provide substantial support for results and conclusions. The different length of Full Papers (18 pages) and Notes (8 pages) allows authors to choose an appropriate submission category based on the size of the contribution or scope of the work. Consider carefully whether a Full Paper or Note submission is more appropriate, as submissions will only be considered for the category in which they are submitted, (i.e. Full Paper submissions that are found to have small contributions will not be considered for acceptance in Note format.) All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Details on the submission process will be available soon! Paper submissions must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize oblique and overt references and citations that may reveal the identity of the authors or their institutions. However, to facilitate proper review, references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed, anonymized, or omitted. Instead, references to previous research should be presented in the text in a neutral fashion that does not identify it as the author’s own work. See http://www.pervasive2010.org/Pervasive2010_cfp.html for further details on the submission process. -- Andreas Bulling Research Fellow University of Cambridge Lancaster University andreas.bulling(a)acm.org www.andreas-bulling.eu

The Internet mirrors and enhances all aspects of our lives, by creating unprecedented opportunities for advancing knowledge in all fields of human activities. However, the 21st century society's needs may not be met by the current trajectory of incremental changes to the current Internet. Furthermore, the continued success of the Internet is increasingly threatened by increased and sophisticated security attacks and by the lack of performance reliability of Internet services. Therefore, the research community worldwide is engaged in exploring new architectures and solutions for the future Internet. The goal of this special issue is to feature diverse architectural design ideas for the future Internet based on a broad spectrum of design perspectives, motivations for change, and sound design principles. While research on future Internet design has been underway over the last several years, it is particularly challenging to be able to bridge the gap between pure academic pursuit and affecting real technological contribution through actual deployment. *Scope* This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in research and technology for "Future Internet", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming Internet era. Original research on overarching architectures for the future Internet with deployment plans is solicited. Suggested topics include but not limited to the following: * Requirement modeling of future Internet services/applications * Service oriented architectures for the future Internet * Security architectures for the future Internet * Energy efficient protocol/architecture designs * Future Internet devices * Economic Models for the future architectures and solutions * Mobility in future Internet, effects of wireless and location awareness * Role of network virtualization and cloud computing * Future Internet and its social benefits * Management, tools, and regulations * Quality of Services * Standardizations, policies and legislation * Cyber-physical, where the digital and real lives overlap * Flexibility and Programmability *Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:31:51 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Socially-aware Wireless Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.
