The IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing (TMC) is a new quarterly journal for
publishing archival research results related to mobility of users, systems,
data, and computing as well as issues in information organization and access,
services, management, and applications. It emphasizes various areas of nomadic
computing, multimedia applications, mobile data and knowledge management, and
mobile communication systems and networking.

The IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing focuses on the
key technical issues related to (a) architectures, (b) support
services, (c) algorithm/protocol design and analysis, (d)
mobile environments, (e) mobile communication systems, (f)
applications, and (g) emerging technologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

a) Architectures
           Mobile networks and hosts
           Agents and proxies
           Mobility management, mobile agent and proxy architectures
           Integrated wireline and wireless systems
           Planning and standardization 

b) Support Services
           Mobility and roaming
           Nomadic computing
           Multimedia
           Operating system support
           Power management

c) Algorithm/Protocol Design and Analysis
           Online and mobile environments
           Limited bandwidth
           Intermittent connectivity

d) Mobile Environments
           Data and knowledge management
           Performance modeling and characterization
           Security, scalability and reliability
           Design, management and operation
           Systems and technologies

e) Mobile Communication Systems
           Wireless, cellular and spread-spectrum systems
           Multi-user and multi-access techniques and algorithms
           Multi-channel processing
           Channel coding
           Data coding and compression

f) Applications
           Location-dependent and sensitive
           Nomadic computing
           Wearable computers and body area networks
           Multimedia applications and multimedia signal processing
           Pervasive computing
           Wireless sensor networks
