CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Journal
of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications & Networking (IJITN)
Special Issue on Wireless
Telecommunications
Although telecommunications is a complex subject
involving a wide variety of interrelated technological, management, policy,
economic, and social factors, the traditional approach to investigating the
subject has been to divide it up into specialized topic areas (networks,
security, standards, etc.), which are then examined from the perspective of a
single pertinent discipline (electrical engineering, computer engineering or
computer science for technology, operations research for network design, law
for telecommunications policy, etc.). While this approach can work quite well
for certain kinds of well-defined telecommunications questions, it is less
successful when a broader understanding of the issues requires a
multidimensional perspective. Researchers and practitioners are beginning to
recognize this fact, as evidenced by the growth in the number of
interdisciplinary telecommunications conferences and academic telecommunications
programs.
Specifically, this special issue will seek the
submission of high-quality original interdisciplinary academic and practitioner
research, surveys, and case studies that address wireless telecommunications
issues, answer wireless telecommunications questions, or solve wireless
telecommunications problems. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to,
wireless telecommunications technology, management, policy, economics, and
social impact. The context may be industry-wide, organizational, individual
user, or societal. We expect submissions to originate from both the academic as
well as industrial research sectors. This would result in a mix of both
theoretic analysis and empirical results. This
issue will seek a diversity of timely and interesting topics and viewpoints.
