[Mycolleagues] Mobile Networks & Applications SI - Advances and Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Dear Colleagues,
(Sorry for the cross posting!)

*Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)*

*Special Issue on Advances and Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks*

* *

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) using all kinds of wireless
technologies has recently received considerable attention. The goal of
this special issue is to explore the development of wireless vehicular
ad hoc network technologies about communication, networking, and
applications. A good communication protocol design can achieve highly
reliable, highly scalable, and high performance. In aspect of
networking, there are many challenges that how to offer quality of
service, build high performance routing, provide mobility management,
and create secure vehicular ad hoc networks. VANET safety applications
include safety warnings and collision avoidance. This is imperious to
improve the non-safety applications and reduce the occurrence of
collision. VANETs present a highly active field of research,
development, standardization and field trials. Throughout the world,
there are many national/international projects in government, industry,
and academia devoted to VANETs, for example consortia like VSC (US),
C2CCC (Europe) and InternetITS (Japan), standardization efforts like
IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle
Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. The special issue
solicits high-quality theoretical as well as practical works on a broad
range of issues important to the communication, networking, and
applications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Topics of interest
include but are not limited to following:

- Safety and non-safety applications

- Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication

- Communication protocol design

- Channel modeling

- Modulation and coding

- Power control and scalability issues

- Multi-channel organization and operation

- Security issues and countermeasures

- Privacy issues

- Network management

- Routing protocol and mobility management

- Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds

TPC Co-Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche, University of Ottawa,
boukerch@site.uottawa.ca Prof. Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo,
rboutaba@uwaterloo.ca Prof. Nirwan Ansari, New Jersey Institute of
Technology,Nirwan.Ansari@njit.edu Prof. Nidal Nasser, University of
Guelph, nasser@cis.uoguelph.ca SCOPE Multi-hop wireless Ad Hoc and
sensor networks are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes
within communication range of each other that form temporary networks.
Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity
with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The
last few years have witnessed a wealth ofresearch ideas on ad hoc and
sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and
standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and
reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including
entertainment!
, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly
robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance
due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy
efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication.
Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop
to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several
challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous
deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable
topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of
effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application
support,etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas
amongresearchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions
to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original
and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and
sensor networks. S!
