Traditional network architecture that works well for Internet may not work in many challenging environments e.g. sparsely connected ad hoc networks, mobile sensor networks, interplanetary or battlefield communications. In such environments, end-to-end paths may not exist or the path between a source and destination pair may be constantly disrupted or largely delayed.

This special issue will provide a forum for academic researchers and industry professionals to present their latest research results on architectural and protocol designs that allow nodes in such environments to communicate. The submitted papers should focus on the state-of-the-art research in various important aspects of this exciting research area. Topics of interests include but are not limited to:

- new architecture for delay/disruption tolerant networks - protocol design and evaluation for message delivery in delay/disruption tolerant networks - Delay & Fault tolerance design for mobile or sensor networks - Modeling and analysis of delay/disruption tolerant networks - characterization of traffic and mobility patterns in delay/disruption tolerant networks - Security, privacy issues in delay/disruption tolerant networks - Declarative approaches to networking - Name management for disruption tolerant networks - Resource management and policy control for disruption tolerant networks - Machine learning techniques for disruption tolerant networks - Routing or topology formation algorithms for disruption tolerant networks

Submission: Manuscripts in PDF or zipped postscript format should be sent directly by email to one of the Guest Editors. Please also submit a separate cover letter via email, which contains the paper title, authors' names and affiliations, and an abstract.
