A Special Issue of Ad Hoc Networks on "Smart Solutions for Mobility
Supported Distributed and Embedded Systems"
(http://people.sabanciuniv.edu/levi/AdHocSI/)

The proliferation of wireless networking and Internet technologies,
supported by the development of embedded networking devices with smart
information processing and computing capabilities promoted many new
wireless and mobile applications in our lives, in all kinds of
environments. From small sensor nodes to smart phones and other palm-top
devices, a wide range of embedded devices opened major avenues for
mobile applications. With increasing number of users for these
applications, decentralized and ad hoc management and operation became a
necessity. In parallel with these architectural requirements, new models
and mechanisms are being proposed in all communication layers and
security services.

This special issue solicits contributions on new frontiers and
applications in mobility supported distributed and embedded systems with
special emphasis on wireless ad hoc networking, wireless cross-layer
design, security, privacy and trust. Contributions sought for this
special issue include, but is not limited to:

. Mobility supported applications and evolutions of ad hoc, sensor
and mesh networks
. Wireless technologies and protocols for vehicular networking
. Mobility driven MAC Protocols for Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Mesh Networks
. Resource Allocation and QoS Provisioning in mobility driven ad hoc,
sensor, mesh networks
. Cognitive radio in sensor networks and embedded mobile devices
. Smart security services for embedded mobile devices
. Efficient privacy-preserving protocols for decentralized
environments for mobile applications
