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
