International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing (IJAHUC)
Call for Papers
Special Issue on: "BikeNet: Theory, Technology and Application"
Guest Editors:
Prof. Kun Ming Yu, Chung Hua University, Taiwan
Dr. Lei SHU, Osaka University, Japan
Prof. James Chang Wu Yu, Chung Hua University, Taiwan
BikeNet is a mobile sensing system for the cyclists and uses a number of
sensors embedded into a cyclist’s bicycle to collect quantitative data about
the cyclist’s rides. Researchers need to design practical distributed and
centralized algorithms and to introduce novel theoretical models or
evaluation methodologies to challenge various kinds of research problems
originated from BikeNet. Although there are a large number of developed
network protocols for wireless sensor networks or ad hoc networks, the
unique characteristics of BikeNet – such as limited bandwidth capacity,
small size and high mobility – lead to considerable challenges in their
design.
The special issue is intended to encourage high-quality researches in
BikeNet, and push the theoretical and practical research forward for a
deeper understanding in the fundamental algorithm, modeling, and analysis
techniques of BikeNet. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new
research related to the theory or practice of BikeNet, including algorithms,
modeling, technology and application. All submissions must describe original
research, not published or currently under review for another workshop,
conference, or journal.
Subject Coverage Suitable topics include but are not limited to:
Algorithms, theory, and applications for BikeNet, including mobile
ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, and any kind of multi-hop
wireless networks used in BikeNet
Theoretical graph and geometric models for BikeNet
Complexity analysis of algorithms for BikeNet environments
Routing algorithms and strategies in BikeNet
Power optimization strategies in BikeNet
Throughput, capacity, and delay analysis on BikeNet
Data and resource management in BikeNet
Clustering and cooperative strategies in BikeNet
Coverage and survivability problems in BikeNet
Information theory and network coding for BikeNet
Security, privacy, and cryptographic protocols theory for BikeNet
Notes for Prospective Authors
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently
under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may
only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has
been completely re-written).
All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors,
sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are
available on the Author Guidelines page.
Please note that some selected best papers of Workshop on Performance
Evaluation of Wireless Networks (PEWiN-2012) will be invited to the second
round process directly. Please visit the following website for further
