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The special issue seeks original and unpublished papers that address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
