JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON


                                     MOBILE AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS

PUBLICATION DATE: DECEMBER 2004

The Journal of Communications and Networks (JCN) will publish a Special  
Issue dedicated to leading-edge topics on Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless  
Networks. High-quality contributions are solicited by the Guest  
Editors:
Prof. Mario Gerla, University of California, Los Angeles, USA,  
gerla@cs.ucla.edu
Dr. Jason Redi, BBN Technologies, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, etc,  
etc
Prof. Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy
Prof. Kenichi Mase, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan
Prof. Eytan Modiano, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge,  
MA, USA

The issue of mobility is central in ad hoc networks and sets them apart  
from wireless infrastructure networks and static sensor nets. Mobility  
affects several layers from radio to applications.  In this special  
issue we solicit papers that deal with mobility issues in wireless  
ad-hoc networks. The topics include but are not limited to the  
following:

Impact of mobility on various protocols layers
Performance of mobile ad hoc networks
Mobility and scalability trade-offs
Mobility models for ad hoc wireless networks
Simulation of mobility in ad hoc networks
Influence of mobility on protocol design
Effect of mobility on protocol performance
Exploiting mobility for protocol scalability


Radio and antenna designs for mobility
Antenna Diversity and mobility
Mobility and MAC layer
Mobility and network layer
Mobility and transport layer
Cross layer interaction to handle mobility
Mobile ad hoc network applications
Mobile ad hoc net measurements

Continuing JCN's tradition of fast turnaround together with full peer  
reviews, the following schedule has been set:

July 31, 2004	Electronic manuscript (.ps or .pdf) to the JCN website
	[An early notification of intent to submit would be appreciated.]
October 15, 2004	First reviews returned to author
December 15, 2004	Special Issue published



        Electronic submissions will be made to JCN website. Information  
about submissions is available on the JCN web site, http://jcn.or.kr.  
Please direct inquiries and intent to submit notifications to any one  
of the Guest Editors .
