Call for Papers for a Special Issue on 'Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks' Elsevier's Performance Evaluation: an International Journal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wireless ad hoc, sensor, along with ubiquitous networks have recently witnessed their fastest growth period ever in history, and this trend is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. However, as such networks become increasingly complex, performance modelling and evaluation will play a crucial part in their design process to ensure their successful deployment and exploitation in practice. Elsevier's Performance Evaluation solicits papers from researchers and practitioners that address the issues of performance evaluation of wireless Ad Hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks for inclusion in a Special Issue on 'Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks'.
Scope of Contributions ---------------------- Authors are encouraged to submit original contributions, with both theoretical and practical results of significance on all timely aspects of wireless and mobile technologies with an emphasis on performance evaluation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to: - Predictive performance models of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks - Analytical modeling - Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks - Queuing and network information theoretic analysis - Tracing and trace analysis - Software tools for network performance and evaluation - Simulation methods and tools - Automatic performance analysis - Performance comparison - Performance of wireless and sensor devices - RF channel capacity modeling and analysis - Mobility modeling and management - Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks - Performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc, mesh, sensor, vehicular and hybrid networks - Performance evaluation of pervasive and ubiquitous networks - Network performance improvement through optimization and tuning - Performance measurement, evaluation and monitoring tools for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks - Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the design of ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks
Submission Details ------------------ Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered for this Special Issue. If the paper has been published at a conference, the submitted journal version should be significantly extended. In this case, authors should submit a short summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. The manuscripts must be prepared in English. See instructions on the preparation and submission of manuscripts at the journal's website: http://ees.elsevier.com/peva/
The journal version must be submitted via the online submission system: http://ees.elsevier.com/peva/
