Special Issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing: Advancement of research in wireless access and mobile systems. --------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------

Wireless access has matured and become a distinct research field in its own right. Recent roll-out of wide area true packet based systems such as UMTS and the increasing popularity of WLAN solutions in the enterprise as well as residential settings have led to a situation where multi homing and overlaid access networks are becoming a reality. Experience with such environments has recently prompted the discovery of previously unknown problems and the emergence of new research directions. In addition, the experience has made it possible to solidify and intensify research on traditional wireless network problems such as mobility management and location management. This special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing is seeking high-quality original unpublished research articles that describe recent advances in the understanding and modeling of wireless access and mobile network behaviour, findings of new problem areas, and solutions to address them. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Wireless access:  MAC layer performance modeling  Wireless resource management  Wireless Network formation and planning  Mobility aspects and their impact on network performance  Location Management  Application behavior and QoS management  Multi-channel and multi-radio systems, channel assignment

Submission guidelines: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to http://ees.elsevier.com/jpdc. The submission must include a cover letter, abstract, manuscript, figures and/or tables, and brief professional biography of approximately 100 words accompanied by a photograph. Please refer to the Guide for Authors link on the journal home page: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jpdc for complete submission instructions.

Important dates:  Full paper submission deadline: December 12, 2009  Notification of acceptance of papers: February 20, 2010  Papers in final format: March 20, 2010
