                            CALL FOR PAPERS
            IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
                  MOBILE ROUTERS AND NETWORK MOBILITY

  http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/mobile_routers.html

Network mobility support is concerned with managing the mobility of an
entire network that is changing its point of attachment to the Internet
and thus its reachability in the Internet topology. If network mobility
is not explicitly supported by some mechanisms, existing sessions break
and connectivity to the global Internet is lost. A mobile network is
composed of Mobile Router(s) (MR) and Mobile Network Nodes (MNN) that
can be fixed or mobile. There has been rapid development in network
mobility support, i.e., providing Internet connectivity to the networks
that move using mobile routers since the inception of Mobile IPv4 in
1996. Seamless Internet access in public transportation such as in
trains and busses can be possible if mobile routers are used. Cars with
low-power sensors seamlessly connected to the Internet constitute yet
another example of networks which move. To date, some airline companies
announced Internet connectivity support during commercial flights and
this trend is expected to accelerate and cover most if not all flights.

This issue is focused on modeling, analysis, and simulation of network
mobility support protocols. We solicit papers presenting original and
unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics:

* Modeling and Analysis of Network Mobility
    o Modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile router
    o Protocols for route optimization
    o Mobility issues inside a mobile network
    o Mobile IPv6 extensions for route optimization
    o Nested mobile networks
    o Multihomed mobile networks
    o Operational issues to deploy mobile networks
    o Auto-configuration for mobile networks
    o Mobile router support on cellular phone platforms

* Services in the Networks that Move
    o Service advertisement and discovery protocols in networks that
      move
    o Specifications nad models of services for network mobility
    o Encryption and authentication in service access for network
      mobility

* Security Issues in Network Mobility
    o Security analysis of present network mobility support protocols
    o Applications of AAA and EAP to network mobility
    o Interaction with security-enhanced modules in other layers
      (vertically) or other middle boxes (horizontally)

Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format
described in the Information for Authors. Authors MUST submit their
draft manuscripts through the EDAS peer review website, together with a
short abstract (approximately 150 words) in the EDAS website form.
Please note potential authors should create their own accounts through
the EDAS peer review website before submitting manuscript(s). EDAS will
accept manuscripts in PDF format only. There will be one round of
reviewers and acceptance will be limited to those papers requiring only
moderate revisions. The following timetable applies:

Manuscript Submission: JUNE 1, 2005
Acceptance Notification: December 1, 2005
Final Manuscript Due: March 1, 2006
Publication: 3rd Quarter 2006
