CFP: Special Issue on "Bio-Inspired Computing and Communication in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks " Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal (Deadline Extended to May 30, 2007)
by Ozgur B. Akan 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers AD HOC NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) Special Issue on BIO-INSPIRED COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS *EXTENDED* Submission deadline: May 30, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ A wide spectrum of applications and services is currently being developed and designed to be built on top of various heterogeneous and significantly challenging network architectures such as wireless mesh, mobile ad hoc and wireless sensor/actor networks. These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type. Papers must be formatted in single-column format, double-spaced, and use at least 11pt fonts.

5th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks April 16-20, 2007, Limassol, Cyprus www.wiopt.org Last day to reserve hotel room at Workshop's low prices: March 16, 2007. Scope of the Symposium: The design of wireless networks offers challenges not present in fixed networks: both the offered traffic and the network capacity depend on the mobility of the nodes. The designs should not only be functioning correctly, they are also expected to optimize the performance with respect to many criteria, such as energy efficiency, quality of service, and capacity utilization. This symposium intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimization of wireless network design and operations. It welcomes different perspectives, including performance analysis, protocol design, wireless communication, and optimization theory. Conference Program: Visit the conference website www.wiopt.org for the conference program as well as travel information. Keynote Speaker: Prof. R. Srikant, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Adjunct Workshops: Five one-day workshops will accompany the main WiOpt Symposium. Please check the conference website for more details: * WiNMee/WiTNeMo 2007 : International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements * RAWNET 2007 : Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks * SPASWIN 2007: Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks * CONCOM 2007 : Control over Communication Channels * WNC3 2007 : Wireless Networks: Communication, Cooperation and Competition Technical Sponsorship: IEEE-CSS, IEEE-ITS, IFIP, EURASIP, INRIA, IFANY -------------------------------------------------- You are reading ICST conference newsletter.
