 OVERVIEW
----------
 Mobile computing and communications devices such as portable phones,
 laptops and palmtops will have an enormous impact on our lifestyle over
 the next several decades. The introduction of mobility raises a number
of
 new research issues. This special issue is devoted to discrete
algorithms
 and discrete modeling in the context of mobile and wireless computing
and
 communications. It is intended to cover many of the algorithmic and
 discrete aspects of this field going from operations research to radio
 engineering problems. It aims, in particular, at addressing real-life,
 practical problems with sound theoretical results.

 SCOPE
-------
 Papers are solicited in all research and applied areas related to
mobile
 and wireless computing and communications where discrete algorithms and
 methods are used,  including, but not limited to:
 -quality of service
 -cryptography and security
 -optimization
 -distributed algorithms
 -routing and control
 -error correcting codes
 -frequency and bandwidth allocation
 -scheduling
 -handover (handoff)
 -site allocation
 -location tracking
 -synchronization
 -modeling
