CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE Transactions on Computers 
Special Issue on Wireless Internet

THEME:
Wireless  communications have  made spectacular  progress in  recent years.  In 
particular,  the  merge  of  various wireless  communication  systems  and  the 
Internet has become more critical so that users can enjoy all kinds of services 
in the  Internet while owning  mobility. For example, modern  wireless networks 
can support  Internet applications for  web accessing and  multimedia services. 
Many issues need to be addressed for such combination. Host mobility adds a new 
dimension  to  many  research  issues,  such  as  network  protocols,  resource 
managements,  WWW  access,  security, and  multimedia  transmission.  Different 
wireless network  architectures with various capacities,  speeds, and services, 
are being proposed. For different applications, diverse traffic types should be 
supported. Light-weight computing devices, such  as PDAs and Bluetooth devices, 
with  Internet-surfing capabilities  will  be mixed  with traditional  browsing 
tools. Security-related issues must be address when accessing critical data.    

RELATED TOPICS: 
This  special  issue is  targeted  at  the  above  issues related  to  wireless 
communication  when the  Internet is  involved. Authors  are invited  to submit 
previously unpublished  papers to this  special issue. Topics include,  but are 
not limited to:
