Special Issue on : "Recent Trends in Wireless & Mobile Networks" International Journal of Computer Networks & Communications (IJCNC) http://airccse.org/journal/sicfp5.html Guest Editors: Eric Renault,Institut Telecom - Telecom SudParis,Evry, France Sarmistha Neogy,Jadavpur University,India Scope Wireless & Mobile technologies represent a rapidly emerging area of development and importance for providing ubiquitous access to the network for all end users. The Wireless & Mobile computing domain emerges from the integration among personal computing, networks, communication technologies, cellular technology and the Internet Technology. Many modern applications are emerging in the area of mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. This special issue is intended to cover contributions in both the design and analysis in the context of mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, and sensor networks. The special issue will additionally select high quality papers from International Conference on Parallel, Distributed Computing technologies and Applications (PDCTA-2011), to be held in Tirunelveli, India, September 2011. Subject Coverage Authors are solicited to contribute to this special Issue by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobile & wireless Networks Distributed algorithms of mobile computing OS and middleware support for mobile computing and networking Routing, and communication primitives in ad-hoc and sensor networks Synchronization and scheduling issues in mobile and ad hoc networks Resource management in mobile, wireless and ad-hoc networks Data management on mobile and wireless computing Integration of wired and wireless networks Broadband access networks Energy saving protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks Complexity analysis of algorithms for mobile environments Information access in wireless networks Algorithms and modeling for tracking and locating mobile users Satellite communications Cryptography, security and privacy of mobile & wireless networks Performance of mobile and wireless networks and systems Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks Wireless multimedia systems Service creation and management environments for mobile/wireless systems Recent trends in mobile and wireless applications Notes for Prospective Authors Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this Issue. Manuscripts should be written in English and strictly follow the guideline of the Journal IJCNC. The extended version of the selected papers from "PDCTA 2011" could be submitted to this special issue. The revised version must have at least 30% difference from the conference paper. The manuscripts should be submitted to one of the guest editors by October 15, 2011, through email sipdcta@airccj.org Important Dates Deadline for Submission : October 15, 2011 Notification : November 10, 2011 Final Manuscript Due : November 20, 2011 Publication Dates : Determined by the Editor-in-Chief
