Wireless communications and ubiquitous computing in ad-hoc networks
have received considerable attention in literature. In general,
wireless sensor networks, vehicular ad-hoc networks as well as
wireless social networks can be treated as ad-hoc networks with
different constraints. The ubiquitous computing developed based on
ad-hoc networks further supports human for information access at any
time and any place. However, ubiquitous computing in ad-hoc networks
faces various challenges like network scalability, energy limitation,
inaccurate location information, interoperability, connectivity and
security. Emerging technologies that improve the efficiency of
ubiquitous computing include distributed computing, embedded system,
mobile computing, wearable computers, and so forth.
This special issue seeks original and high quality contributions such
as work in progress and experimental and theoretical research in
Emerging Technologies for Ubiquitous Communications, Computing and
Applications in Ad-hoc Networks. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:

-Hardware and Architecture for MANETs and WSNs
-Protocol and Algorithm Designs for MANETs, WSNs or VANETs
-Ubiquitous Computing for Ad-hoc Networks
-Power Aware and Energy Efficient Design for MANETs or WSNs
-Security, Privacy and Trust for MANETs or VANETs
-Distributed Technologies for Ubiquitous Computing
-Resource Allocation for MANETs and VANETs
-Routing protocols for Ad-hoc Wireless Networks
-Simulation, Modeling and Analysis for Ad-hoc Wireless Networks
-Services and Applications for Ad-hoc Wireless Networks
