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 within  the
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.
