IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Emerging Wireless Networks

********************************************************************
CFP: IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine
Special Issue on Security and Privacy in Emerging Wireless Networks
http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/cfp/cfpwireless1010.htm
********************************************************************
(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message)

Rapid advances in wireless ad hoc networking have extended its application
from mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks to emerging
wireless networks including wireless mesh networks, delay-tolerant networks,
vehicular networks, and urban sensing networks. While facilitating
ubiquitous network access and also social interactions, these emerging
networks are particularly vulnerable to numerous privacy and security
threats. For example, attackers may jeopardize the privacy of users in
vehicular and urban sensing networks; the adversary may also compromise
selected nodes in a tactical delay-tolerant network and thus fail the
critical mission of the network. There is clearly an urgent need to protect
emerging wireless networks from various security and privacy threats,
thereby eliminating a major impediment to their widespread adoption of such
networks.

Scope of Contributions

This special issue is to disseminate cutting-edge research results,
highlight research challenges and open issues, and promote further research
interests and activities on security and privacy in emerging wireless
networks. We are more interested in contributions on wireless mesh networks,
delay-tolerant networks, vehicular networks, and urban sensing networks, but
we also welcome submissions related to mobile ad hoc networks and wireless
sensor networks. We seek original and unpublished contributions on topics
including, but not limited to:

- - Authentication and access control
- - Secure routing and MAC protocols
- - Privacy and anonymity
- - Secure localization
- - Secure time synchronization
- - Secure data aggregation
- - Secure location services
- - Key management
- - Intrusion detection and tolerance
- - Performance and security/privacy tradeoffs
- - Secure data storage and queries
- - Novel threats and attacks
- - Cross-layer security/privacy designs
- - Security and privacy under resource constraints

Submission Instructions

Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. However,
papers presenting original contributions will also be considered, as long as
the presentation is accessible and the paper length is kept within the
appropriate limits. Articles should have no more than 4500 words, no more
than 6 tables/figures, and the abstract should have no more than 250 words.
With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions,
prospective contributors should follow the IEEE WCM guidelines for authors,
which can be found at:
http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/pci/info/pub_guidelines.html. Authors should
submit a PDF format of their complete papers via the EasyChair Conference
Management System at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wcmwisec10

Special issue on: Adaptive Communication in Wireless Networks

Wireless Personal Communications: An International Journal (Springer)

Special issue on: Adaptive Communication in Wireless Networks

Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The
last few years have experienced a steep growth in research on wireless
networks having attractive claims. Researchers are currently envisioning
different attractive properties of wireless systems such as the ability to
self-organize, self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain.
These systems are increasingly becoming dynamic and they are expected to
perform many tasks autonomously by adapting to the dynamics of the networks.
With the wide range of applications that need to be supported in these
systems, there exists increasing expectations about what the current and the
future generation networks can do. Many of these requirements are pivoted in
the ability of the networks to adapt to the network dynamism. Adaptation to
changing environments, in turn, often leads to increased performance of the
networks. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers
relating to different aspects of adaptive communication in wireless
networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, all aspects of
adaptive communication in:

.           Broadband wireless access networks

.           Wireless Internet

.           Software defined radio

.           Bluetooth technology

.           Ultra-wide band radio

.           Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

.           Wireless Mesh Networks

.           IEEE 802.11/802.20/802.22

.           Emerging wireless network security issues

.           Wireless telemedicine and e-health

.           Emerging issues in 3G and 4G wireless networks

.           Emerging wireless network architecture

.           Multimedia over emerging wireless networks

.           Underwater sensor Networks

.           Supplying power to the distributed wireless sensors

.           Cognitive Radio Systems

.           Cooperative wireless communications

.           Multi-hop relay wireless communications

Good quality survey/tutorial-type articles (but NOT purely a literature
review) are also of interest to this Special Issue.
