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.
