Recent advances in electronic and computer technologies have paved the way for the proliferation of ubiquitous wireless networks. Fast deployment of these communication networks for the users is preferred under many situations. Topics that are related to ad hoc and sensor networking, mobile computing, and wireless and mobile security have been extensively studied recently. Potential applications of these networks include search and rescue, smart homes, battlefield surveillance, environment monitoring and control, etc.

We are seeking system-related papers. The goal of the special issue is to publish the most recent results in the development of system aspects of wireless networks. Researchers and practitioners working in this area are expected to take this opportunity to discuss and express their views on the current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues in wireless networks.
