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The special issue seeks original and unpublished papers that address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

SUBMISSION FORMAT AND REVIEW GUIDELINES

---------------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting recent developments
in the topics

related to the special issue. The submitted papers must be written in
English and

describe original research not published nor currently under review by
other journals

or conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted.

All submitted papers, if relevant to the theme and objectives of the
special issue,

will go through an external peer-review process. Submitting a paper
implies the willingness

of reviewing one paper submitted to the special issue. Submissions
should include an

abstract, 5-10 key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding
author. The paper

length should not exceed 30 double-spaced pages including figures and
references on 8.5

by 11 inch paper using at least 11 point font. For more information,
please contact guest

co-editors.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

---------------------

All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted via
the journal's

online submission and peer-review system at
http://www.ees.elsevier.com/comcom.

A prospective author should

1. Register in EES (follow the instructions on the site)

2. Select: Submit Manuscript from Main Menu

3. When choosing Article Type, please select the title of the special
issue

("Wireless Mesh Networks" for this Special issue submission) you are
submitting to.
