CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on Wireless Mesh Networks

Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal

http:/www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/comcom/wimesh.htm

Full papers due: August 31, 2007

************************************************************************

Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest
from academia,

industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable
characteristics,

such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing,
easy maintenance,

high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been
advocated

as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile
connectivity and

ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking,
enterprise networking,

or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical
accumulations

from more than a decade research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many
research

issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For
example, the

introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture,
multi-radio,

multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the
design of

physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as
all-wireless

office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and
various security

issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh
networks.

The special issue seeks original and unpublished papers that address
theoretical

and experimental work at all layers of wireless mesh networks. Papers
are solicited

from, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking

MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)

Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols

Topology construction and maintenance

Physical layer techniques

Cross layer optimizations

Testbed, prototype, and practical systems

Methods and tools for wireless mesh networks simulation

Modeling and performance evaluations for wireless mesh networks

Security-related issues in wireless mesh networks

Quality of Service and multimedia communications over wireless mesh
networks

Intelligent system techniques for wireless mesh networks

Novel applications of wireless mesh networks

Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking

Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms

Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures

Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN

Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks

[Tccc] [ICLAN'2007] Second call for papers.

C A L L F O R P A P E R S
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

International Conference on Late Advances in Networks (ICLAN'2007)

http://www.iclanconf.org/2007/

December 05-07, 2007, Paris, France

Technical co-sponsorship : IEEE France
IEEE Communication Society

Scope:

The rapid deployment of network infrastructures in various environments
triggers new applications and services that in turn generate new
constraints.
For example, future heterogeneous networks will integrate ad hoc and sensor
solutions into wired and/or wireless fixed infrastructures. The
integration of
ad hoc and sensor networks together with the Internet and wireless
infrastructure networks increases the network capacity, the coverage
area and
application domains. The interconnection of these networks must not only
ensure
the transport traffic between a source and a destination. However, this
interconnection must keep on providing a very high quality of service
and make
various flows safe and secure. Carrying out these challenges requires the
modification and/or the adaptation of some protocols.

This conference is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and
engineers in
academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences and research
results about all aspects of networks. It will also initiate discussions
on how
to improve the presented solutions.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

o Ad-hoc networks
o Call admission and congestion control
o Cross-layer architectures
o DVB
o Heterogeneous networks
o Location based services
o MIMO
o Mobile and wireless networks
o Multicast
o Multimedia QoS and management
o Resource management and QoS for real time traffic support
o RFID and sensor networks
o Routing and switching
o Security techniques and systems
o Service middleware and open interface
o Terrestrial satellite integration
o Traffic management
o Transport protocols
o Ultra-wide band
o WiFi
o WiMax networks
o Wireless mesh networks
o WLAN, WPAN and 3G/4G networks

Paper Submission:

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in PDF format only reporting
original
unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the
conference. The length of the papers should not exceed 6 pages (IEEE
Computer
Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced),
including
figures and references, using 10pt fonts, and number each page.
