We are editing a new Book on "Routing in Opportunistic Networks"

to be published by Springer Verlag, USA, in early 2013.

This book will attempt to provide a comprehensive guide on

fundamental concepts, applications, new trends and challenges,

and research results in the area of routing in such networks.

As you have done considerable high quality work in related areas,

we kindly request that you look at the list of suggested topics provided

below and if interested, contribute some chapters in this book on

topics of your interest.

If you are willing to contribute, please send us your chosen topic(s)

along with short abstract(s) -(100-150 words for each chosen topic)

We will let you know the topic(s) which would be beneficial to us.

We ask that, rather than writing on a narrowly focused research

result, your chapter(s) discuss a topic broadly and the different

concepts and solutions surrounding it. While all types of

contributions will be considered for review, good survey and

tutorial/review type articles on a particular topic withinthe

provided list of topics will be of particular interest.

If accepted, each Chapter is expected to have about 33-37 pages

maximum (including references, tables & figures) in MS Word or LaTex

with about 450 words/page; font 10.

Moreover, each chapter should be accompanied by a set of Power Point

slides; about 30 to 35 slides per Chapter.

If you are willing to participate in this book, we shall be honored by your

contribution. We are expecting a CONFIRMATION email from you (indicating

which topic(s) you have choosen) by October 30, 2011.
