Call for Papers for the Special Issue of the Elsevier Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal on "Emerging Wireless Networks"

AIMS AND SCOPE =============== Few decades back, wireless systems were meant merely single-hop cellular communication systems. However, in recent years, this meaning of wireless systems has changed and encompasses diverse communication architectures and technologies ranging from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to Device to Device (D2D) communication systems and from Multi-Hop Cognitive Radio Ad-Hoc Networks (CRAHNs) to Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Due to this paradigm shift and exponential growth in wireless system, new applications are also envisaged. Considering this rapid growth in wireless systems, new architectures, protocols and algorithms are also required. We call these new types of wireless systems as emerging wireless networks.
In this special issue, we are seeking new and unpublished work in the context of Emerging Wireless Networks. More specifically, this special issue will focuses on research relating to different experimental, simulation, algorithmic and theoretical aspects of Emerging Wireless Networks.
The list of topics includes:
- Emerging wireless networks * Cognitive Radio Networks * Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks * Green Communications * Device to Device (D2D) networks * Machine to Machine (M2M) networks * Smart Grid Communication System * 5 G Networks * Femto Cells - Innovative and cross-layer middle-ware solutions for emerging wireless networks - Applications of emerging wireless networks - Delay-sensitive and multimedia communication - Simulation models and tools for emerging wireless networks - Energy efficiency in emerging wireless networks - Wireless systems architecture: peculiar features and evolution - Deployment strategies - Layers in emerging wireless networks (physical, data link, network, transport, application) - Developments, issues, and open areas - Resource Management in emerging wireless networks - Future perspective for Emerging Wireless Networks
IMPORTANT DATES ================ Manuscript Due: 30 Oct 2014 Acceptance notification: 30 Jan 2014 Revised paper due: 30 Mar 2015 Final manuscript due: 30 May 2015 Expected Publication of the Special Issue: 2015
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===================== All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-electrical-engineering/. Authors should select “SI-wls4”, from the “Choose Article Type” pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.
