Journal of Internet Technology CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on "Heterogeneous IP Networks" http://jit.ndhu.edu.tw/englisha.php http://jit.ndhu.edu.tw/callforpaper.php

Theme and Scope

Research and development efforts in mobile and wireless telecommunication systems and networks enable the rapid growth of

fixed and wireless broadband network infrastructures. Today, we are witnessing that the wireless network technologies are

being rapidly and widely accepted as a complementary technology of the high-speed wired LAN technologies such as Ethernet for

portable and mobile devices: WLAN, GPRS/UMTS, GSM, Bluetooth, ... represent a wide range of possible access network

technologies with different proprieties. Beside to this wide range of access networks there is a spread use of different

devices (Workstation, PC Desktop, Laptop/Notebook, Palmtop, Mobile phone, ...) with different Operating Systems (Windows,

Unix, Linux, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Linux Familiar, Symbian, ...). This complex environment is moving towards a real new

research field, the "Heterogeneous IP Networks" where new interesting services can be provided. The objective of this special

issue is to present the state-of-the-art, current research and developing activities contributing to all facets of

"Heterogeneous IP Networks". The Special issue will serve as a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their

original and innovative contributions. This special issue solicits the state-of-the-art research papers on emerging

"Heterogeneous IP Networks" technologies, architectures, protocols and applications. Topics of interest include, but not

limited to:

- QoS supports in Heterogeneous IP Networks - Mobility managements/supports (roaming and hand of) and location-based services - Inter-working with 2.5G, 3G, and other wireless networks - Power control and management for energy-efficient Heterogeneous IP Networks - Co-existence and Interference among access network technologies - Performance analysis and experimentation of Heterogeneous IP Networks - Security enhancements of Heterogeneous IP Networks - Heterogeneous IP Networks applications and measurements - Simulation study of Heterogeneous IP Networks - Scalability of Heterogeneous IP Networks

Important Dates: Full papers due via email November 30, 2004 Notification of acceptance/rejection/revision December 28, 2004 Revised manuscript due January 15, 2005 Final manuscript due February 1, 2005 Publication date March/April , 2005
