Call for Book Chapters for the Springer-Verlag Handbook: Resource 
management in Mobile Computing Environments

Editors:
Constandinos Mavromoustakis, University of Nicosia, Cyprus
Evangelos Pallis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Greece
George Mastorakis, Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Greece

The need for a reliable management of resources in mobile computing 
environments, facilitating ubiquitous availability and efficient access 
to large quantities of distributed resources, has become apparent, as 
the number of people that communicate and collaborate computationally 
over the Internet, via different accessing systems and mobile devices, 
has increased. Mobile Computing paradigm is set to drive technology over 
the next decade and integrate resources availability through the 3As 
(Anywhere, Anything, Anytime). Notwithstanding, there are a lot of 
challenges to meet, in order to have Mobile Computing paradigm 
applicable in all aspects and in an efficiently utilized manner. In this 
context, the book aims at presenting state-of-the-art research and 
future trends on resource management in mobile and heterogeneous 
networking systems and applications. It will combine mobile 
communications and resource management field, in a common research 
ground, in order to present various research concepts that contribute to 
enable highly efficient management of networking resources. The major 
subjects of the book will cover resource management methodologies, 
modeling, analysis and efficient resource management of mobile computing 
environments, newly introduced technologies, facing the scarceness of 
resources and model formulation for resources management in wireless 
networking systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 Failure-aware resource management for high-availability computing in 
mobile and opportunistic systems
 Agent-based approaches for high performance computing systems
 Coordinated control for Mobile high-availability computing
