Special Issue on “Security in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks with Advanced
QoS Provisioning”
Security and Communication Networks
www.interscience.wiley.com/security
Summary
In recent years, wireless and mobile communication systems have become
increasingly popular as the advance of hardware technologies makes the
implementation of novel communication technologies feasible. With growing
demand of software downloading and mobile multimedia services, the quality of
service (QoS) provisioning and the management of network security have been
critical in determining the success of future generation wireless
communications. This special issue calls for cutting-edge research achievements
on the provisioning of QoS and security in wireless and mobile networks.
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research related to
theory or practice of all aspects of security issues in ad hoc and sensor
networks and QoS provisioning. The topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):
Security in Wireless MANETs, VANETs, Sensor, Mesh and PCS Networks
Secure PHY, MAC and Routing Protocols
Secure Cooperation-Based Systems and Services
Security in Cognitive Radio Networks
Intrusion Detection in Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks
Privacy, anonymity and authentication
Trust Establishment
Cooperation and Prevention of Non-cooperative Behaviours
Incentive Aware Secure Protocol Design
QoS for Wireless Multimedia Networks and Systems
QoS for Wireless/Wired Hybrid Systems
QoS support and Mobility Management in Wireless Internet
QoS-Aware Routing for Wireless Networks
QoS Metrics
Wireless Network Survivability
Wireless Systems Reliability
Field operating tests, Performance Modelling and Simulation Techniques
Real-time and QoS-aware Wireless Networks
Submitted papers should not be under consideration elsewhere for publication
and the authors must follow the guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts.
The language of the journal is English. 12-point type in one of the standard
fonts, i.e., Times, Helvetica, or Courier, is preferred. The paper length
should not exceed 20 pages in total, including all figures and illustrations.
It is not necessary for authors to use double-line spacing in their manuscript.
Tables and figures must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not
be incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate
figure files. For manuscript submission authors should follow the guidelines
described in the section ‘‘For Authors’’ at
http://www.interscience.wiley.com/security. Prospective authors should submit
their paper online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting
their papers in the SCN Journal Manuscript Central website, the authors should
make sure to choose “Manuscript type” as “Special Issue”, and enter “Running
Head” and “Special Issue title” as “SCN-SI-039” and “QoS Provisioning”,
respectively.
