UBICC Journal e-Letter

CALL FOR PAPERS                                    [  http://www.ubicc.org  ]    

Recent advances in electronic and computer technologies have paved the way for the proliferation of ubiquitous computing. The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services.

We are seeking research papers, technical reports, dissertation etc for these interdisciplinary areas. The goal of the UBICC® journal is to publish the most recent results in the development of system aspects of ubiquitous computing. Researchers and practitioners working in this area are expected to take this opportunity to discuss and express their views on the current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in this area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

1. Probabilistic or predictive performance models and analysis of ad hoc, sensor, pervasive and ubiquitous networks
2. RF channel capacity modeling and analysis
3. Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks
4. Mobility modeling and management
5. Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks
6. Analytical modeling
7. Simulation methods
8. Performance measurement, monitoring and evaluation tools for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks
9. Software tools for automatic network performance and evaluation
10. Network performance improvements by optimization algorithms
11. Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks
12. Wireless mesh networks
13. Security issues in ubiquitous and sensor networks
14. Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the   design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
