Aims and Scope:
==============
Growing use of the wireless infrastructures implies optimizing resources
or providing better user experience. There are many interesting aspects
provided by the network context that should be considered in order to
develop better applications or design efficient networks closer to the
user needs. In this sense, it is important to analyze network usage,
human behavior, router placements, and technological constraints, among
other data sources. Analyzing these data and understanding the behavior
patterns allows for a better prediction, useful to generate services
oriented to enhance the quality of service. This way, a new generation
of user-centric features can be promoted, where the selection of the
available information allows having an exact knowledge of the network
context. Many difficulties can appear when we tackle the identification
and selection of heterogeneous and distributed data or when we try to
analyze and understand the involved processes, leading to complex
prediction models or combinatorial optimization problems, for example.
Nevertheless, these difficulties are an exciting research opportunity.
Pursuing these possibilities, there are many trends and open issues that
deserve to be investigated.
In this special issue, we seek original, unpublished high-quality
articles, not currently under review by another conference or journal,
clearly focused on theoretical or practical aspects of the context-aware
wireless networks.
