A special issue of ad hoc networks on 'Smart solutions for mobility supported distributed and embedded systems'

摘要

The proliferation of wireless networking and Internet technologies, supported by the development of embedded networking devices with smart information processing and computing capabilities promoted many new wireless and mobile applications in our lives, in all kinds of environments. From small sensor nodes to smart phones and other palm-top devices, a wide range of embedded devices opened major avenues for mobile applications. With increasing number of users for these applications, decentralized and ad hoc management and operation became a necessity. In parallel with these architectural requirements, new models and mechanisms are being proposed in all communication layers and security services.
