CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mobility and Resource Management IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine

Manuscript submission date: October 1, 2003 Acceptance notification: January 15, 2004 Final manuscript due: March 15, 2004 Publication date: June 15, 2004

Theme

With the rapidly growing demand for "anywhere, anytime" high-speed Internet access, many advanced radio and network technologies have already been developed. Integration of these different technologies will be an essential trend in the near future. In such a heterogeneous environment, the "mobility and resource management" issue becomes very critical, particularly for the QoS support with various kinds of services. Not only user mobility and resource provisioning within a single network should be considered, but also seamless cross network services and interactions should be provided. Many issues need to be addressed for mobility and resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks, including the integration of the mobility protocols adopted in different network; the impacts of user mobility on and the integration with network resource management and power consumption of handheld devices; support of IP protocols on mobile computing systems for seamless tier mobility. Furthermore, security and privacy need to be addressed for roaming users from network to network. Modeling technologies and performance analysis are needed to address new types of mobility and resource management in heterogeneous networks.

Topics of Interest

This special issue is targeted at the above issues related to mobility and resource management. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this special issue. Topics include, but are not limited to:

(a) Mobility and resource management schemes for future telecommunications systems (including UMTS, cdma-2000, and TD-SCDMA) (b) Impact of mobility on and integration with resource management (c) Impact of mobility on power consumption and strategy for energy conservation (d) Mobile IP and SIP mobility (e) Security and privacy Issues in mobility management (f) Mobility and resource aware applications (g) Analytical modeling and performance analysis

Submission Instruction

All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html. Electronic submissions are accepted only in Postscript and PDF formats and should be sent to ieee-wc-mr@csie.ntu.edu.tw directly. If you have any questions, please contact any one of the guest editors.
