Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc

on SCEnarios for ad hoc Network Evaluation Studies (SCENES) http://www.elsevierscitech.com/cfp/SCENES-CFP.pdf

CALL FOR PAPERS

For the reliable performance evaluation of protocols, systems and algorithms in ad hoc, sensor, and mesh networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. It has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and/or signal propagation yield results that are not accurate. To increase the credibility of our models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and used in the development and validation of realistic scenario models.

This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this important research area, by providing an overview of the current state-of-the-art scenario models and methodologies for model validation and credible performance evaluation for ad hoc networks. To this purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results.

TOPICS OF INTEREST includes but is not limited to: * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modeling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modeling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modeling * Combined mobility and traffic modeling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modeling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modeling on performance

IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: Aug. 15th, 2011 Notification of acceptance: Nov. 30th, 2011 Camera-ready paper due: Jan. 31st, 2012

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.
