<P><SPAN class=style8>“Mission–Critical Networking (MCN)” refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection, emergency and crisis intervention, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity and emergent behaviors. MCN should comprise the best possible networking technology, infrastructure and services that may alleviate the risk and help save the lives of both the general public and the network users.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN class=style8></SPAN> <B>Keywords:</B> </P> <DL class=style8>• Smart environments and infrastructures<BR>• Rapidly deployable services and networks<BR>• Vehicular networks <BR>• Body sensor networks<BR>• Cognitive and autonomic networks, protocols, and services<BR>• Ubiquitous networking and services<BR>• Security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and trade–offs<BR>• Sensor and actuator networks for information gathering and real–time control<BR>• Decentralized and peer–to–peer resource management and allocation<BR>• Trust management, security, interoperability, survivability and QoS support<BR>• Context–aware network and service management<BR>• Location determination and tracking <BR>• Energy efficiency<BR>• Admission, load and flow control<BR>• Visual analytics<BR>• Critical traffic and mobility analysis<BR>• Cross–layer design and optimization<BR>• Components and architectures for next–generation emergency calling and alerting<BR>• Network policy management <BR>• Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies</DL>
