OVERVIEW
----------
Mobile computing and communications devices such as portable phones,
laptops and palmtops will have an enormous impact on our lifestyle over
the next several decades. The introduction of mobility raises a number of
new research issues. This special issue is devoted to discrete algorithms
and discrete modeling in the context of mobile and wireless computing and
communications. It is intended to cover many of the algorithmic and
discrete aspects of this field going from operations research to radio
engineering problems. It aims, in particular, at addressing real-life,
practical problems with sound theoretical results.
SCOPE
-------
Papers are solicited in all research and applied areas related to mobile
and wireless computing and communications where discrete algorithms and
methods are used, including, but not limited to:
-quality of service
-cryptography and security
-optimization
-distributed algorithms
-routing and control
-error correcting codes
-frequency and bandwidth allocation
-scheduling
-handover (handoff)
-site allocation
-location tracking
-synchronization
-modeling
