CALL FOR PAPERS

Kluwer Academic Publishers in cooperation with ACM
announce a Special Issue of the Journal on Special Topics
in Mobile Networking and Applications (MONET) 
on Parallel Processing Issues in Mobile Computing with
Guest Editors

Overview


Mobile computing has emerged as an important area of computing today. The
mobility of users offers new challenges to seamless connectivity in a distributed
, heterogeneous network of wireline and wireless components. Several
techniques and algorithms developed by the parallel processing community can
be applied to solve typical mobile computing problems: routing, scheduling, load
balancing, cache coherence, information access, and QoS provisioning.


Scope


The objective of this special issue is to showcase some of the recent
developments in the area of wireless networks and mobile computing that
leverage research findings in parallel and distributed computing. The topics
covered for this special issue include:

    Processor Architectures for Mobile and Wearable Computers 
    Routing in ad hoc networks 
    Parallel and distributed techniques for solving problems in mobile
    computing 
    Distributed techniques for QoS Provisioning in mobile environments 
    Distributed caches in mobile computing environments 
    Caching, prefetching, pushcaching and replication to enhance
    information access 
    Distributed wireless sensor networks 
    Routing and location independent information access 
    Scheduling issues in mobile computing 
    Parallel/distributed algorithms for mobile computing systems 
    Distributed mobile multimedia systems 
    Distributed mobile agents 
    Pervasive computing and information services 
    Wireless Internet


Publication Schedule

Deadline for paper submissions: November 30, 2001 
Author Notification: March 31, 2002 
Submission of Final Manuscripts: May 31, 2002 
Date of Publication: Late 2002


Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit an electronic postscript or PDF copy of their
papers to one of the guest editors (kumar@cse.uta.edu or
zomaya@ee.uwa.edu.au) by the due date. The papers should be limited to 25
double spaced (excluding figures, graphs, and references). If electronic
submission is not possible, authors should send 4 copies of their manuscript to
one of the following addresses.
