-------- 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, 12 Nov 2010 11:35:57 +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.

While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Topology coverage and connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - MAC protocols and QoS provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data aggregation, fusion and dissemination techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Synchronization and scheduling issues in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Security, trust and privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation, evaluation and validation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications, testbeds and deployment experiences Submission: Submitted papers must be written in grammatically correct English and should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.
