Special Issue Call for Papers
The Green, Reliability and Security of Machine-to-Machine Communications
NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 1, 2011
Machine-to-machine communications is an emerging technology that
realizes a system of networks, wireless or wired, possibly distributed
across the world, for transmitting events captured by low-end machines
such as sensors and smart meters to high-end applications and/or
personal appliances, where the events are translated into meaningful
information. It embraces several major research fields including
wireless sensor networks, vehicular networks, smart grid and RFID, and
enables future ubiquitous computing environment. Unlike current
world-scale human-centric 3G wireless networks, M2M communication
network is characterized by the absence of direct human intervention and
the rapid increase in size and is therefore imposed with unique
requirements.
With ever-decreasing cost of deployment of M2M communication devices and
access to public wireless data networks, and thanks to its potential to
support a large number of ubiquitous characteristics and achieving
better cost efficiency, M2M communications has quickly become a market-
changing force for a wide variety of real-time monitoring applications,
such as remote e-healthcare, smart homes, utility management,
environmental monitoring and industrial automation. However, the
flourishing of M2M communications still hinges on fully understanding
and managing the existing GRS challenges: Green (i.e., energy
efficiency), Reliability and Security.
The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-
of-the-art contributions on the GRS aspects of M2M communications. It
aims to provide an environment conducive of cross-fertilization between
researchers from different areas spanning wireless sensor networks,
vehicular networks, smart grid and RFID, all relevant, in one way or
another to the advance and realization of M2M communication paradigm.
Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of M2M
communications.
Possible topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to
the following:
* GRS in wireless sensor, actuator and robot networks
* GRS in vehicular networks and intelligent transportation systems
* GRS in smart grid
* GRS in RFID technologies
* GRS in interworking for M2M communication
* GRS modeling for M2M communication
* GRS in emerging M2M applications
IMPORTANT DATES
* Paper submission deadline: December 1, 2011 (extended)
* Notification to authors: March 1, 2012

PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work that has
neither appeared in, nor under consideration by, other journals.
Springer offers authors, editors and reviewers of Peer-to-Peer
Networking and Applications a web-enabled online manuscript submission
and review system. Our online system offers authors the ability to track
the review process of their manuscript. This online system offers easy
and straightforward long-in and submission procedures, and supports a
wide range of submission file formats. Manuscripts should be submitted
to: http://PPNA.edmgr.com. Choose "The GRS of M2M Communications" as the
article type.
To avoid delays, authors of submissions that, in the opinion of the
editors, fall out of scope of this issue will be notified promptly.
