               WIRELESS OVERLAY NETWORKS BASED ON MOBILE IPv6

   The  next  version  of  the  Internet  Protocol  is  called IPv6. This
   protocol  has  evolved  considerably since it was first defined in the
   early  1990's.  Whereas the main thrust of IPv6 is to greatly increase
   addressing space, IPv6 also enables a very important feature -- Mobile
   IPv6  which  is  a  much  better  protocol  design  for  mobility. The
   deployment  of  Mobile  IP  has  progressed rather slowly. This is due
   mainly  to the widespread deployment of NAT, which has conflicted with
   Mobile IP, the restricted number of application protocols used by most
   consumers  (email  and  WWW seem to be the two), which are amenable to
   the  use of User-oriented Retransmission Protocol (URP) or shortage of
   IP  addresses  and  lack of security. From the most recent Mobile IPv6
   draft  (version  24), those problems are resolved, and the document is
   in  publication now. An Overlay Network can be used to deploy tests of
   new   protocol   services  while  minimally  affecting  the  lower  IP
   infrastructure.  Therefore,  using  overlay  networks  to speed up the
   roadmap for deploying mobile IP makes this topic all the more urgent.

   We  invite  contributions  covering  all  aspects  of  Mobile  IPv4 or
   IPv6-based  wireless  overlay  networks, including, but not limited to
   the following areas:
     * Mobile IPv6 based overlay communication network architecture
     * Mobile IPv6 based management for wireless overlay networks
     * IPv6 based mobile computing applications on overlay networks
     * Mobile IPv6 based overlay networks performance modeling
     * Design  and  analysis  for  mobile  IPv6  based  overlay  networks
       switching algorithms
     * Fault  tolerance for mobile IPv6 based mobile computing on overlay
       networks
     * Distributed databases for mobile IPv6 based overlay networks
     * Ad  hoc  wireless  networks  using IPv6 mobility in overly network
       environments
     * Mobile  IPv6 based personal or cellular communications services on
       overlay networks
     * Secure  mobile  IPv6  based  wireless  communications  on  overlay
       networks
     * IPv6 based mobile QoS protocol in overlay network environments
     * Alternate  security  mechanisms,  QoS traffic analysis and network
       loading,   interactions  between  ad  hoc  networking  and  return
       routability

   All contributions must be sent by email as .PDF or .PS files to one of
   the  five  guest  editors  listed  below,  along  with  a  copy to the
   Corresponding  Guest  Editor.  Authors  should  follow  the IEEE J-SAC
   manuscript format described in the Information for Authors. There will
   be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to those papers
   requiring only moderate revisions. The following timetable applies:

                 Manuscript Submission:   SEPTEMBER 1, 2004
                 Acceptance Notification: March 1, 2005
