CALL FOR PAPERS

For the reliable performance evaluation of protocols, systems and

algorithms in

ad hoc, sensor, and mesh networks, realistic models and credible simulation

scenarios are crucial. It has been shown that simplistic models for

mobility,

traffic, and/or signal propagation yield results that are not accurate. To

increase the credibility of our models, traces from specific scenarios need

to

be acquired and used in the development and validation of realistic

scenario models.

This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in

this

important research area, by providing an overview of the current

state-of-the-art scenario models and methodologies for model validation and

credible performance evaluation for ad hoc networks. To this purpose, we

are

seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

includes but is not limited to:

* Classification of scenarios

* Challenges in trace acquisition

* Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modeling

* Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement

traces

* Movement trace measurement architectures

* Characterization of movement traces

* Mobility modeling

* Validation of mobility models

* Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modeling

* Combined mobility and traffic modeling

* Characterization of signal propagation

* Propagation modeling

* Impact of mobility on radio characterization

* Impact of scenario modeling on performance

IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper submission deadline: Aug. 15th, 2011

Camera-ready paper due: Jan. 31st, 2012

SUBMISSION FORMAT AND GUIDELINE:

All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and

contain

only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under

review

for any other journal or conference. Papers must not exceed 25 pages

(one-column, at least 11pt fonts) including figures, tables, and

references.

A detailed submission guideline is available as "Guide to Authors" at

www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc.

All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through

Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as "SI SCENES"

when

they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

The EES website is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/

All papers will be peer-reviewed by three independent reviewers. Requests

for

additional information should be addressed to the guest editors.
