Call for Papers ---------------

A Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on "Smart Solutions for Mobility Supported Distributed and Embedded Systems" http://people.sabanciuniv.edu/levi/AdHocSI/

The proliferation of wireless networking and Internet technologies, supported by the development of embedded networking devices with smart information processing and computing capabilities promoted many new wireless and mobile applications in our lives, in all kinds of environments. From small sensor nodes to smart phones and other palm-top devices, a wide range of embedded devices opened major avenues for mobile applications. With increasing number of users for these applications, decentralized and ad hoc management and operation became a necessity. In parallel with these architectural requirements, new models and mechanisms are being proposed in all communication layers and security services.

This special issue solicits contributions on new frontiers and applications in mobility supported distributed and embedded systems with special emphasis on wireless ad hoc networking, wireless cross-layer design, security, privacy and trust. Contributions sought for this special issue include, but is not limited to:

. Mobility supported applications and evolutions of ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks . Wireless technologies and protocols for vehicular networking . Mobility driven MAC Protocols for Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks . Resource Allocation and QoS Provisioning in mobility driven ad hoc, sensor, mesh networks . Cognitive radio in sensor networks and embedded mobile devices . Smart security services for embedded mobile devices . Efficient privacy-preserving protocols for decentralized environments for mobile applications

Submission Format and Guideline

All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages (one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and references. A detailed submission guideline is available as "Guide to Authors" at www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc.

All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as "SI - Mobility Supported Systems" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. The EES website is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/

All papers will be peer-reviewed by two or three independent reviewers. Requests for additional information should be addressed to the guest editors.

Paper submission deadline is October 31, 2012.
