    JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATIONS, VOL. 7, NO. 11, NOVEMBER 2012 781 Special Issue on Advances in Wireless and Optical Communications Guest Editorial Significant research and development growth continues to propel the fields of wireless and optical communications. Information technology, Internet and multimedia communications are all based on either wireless or optical networks. Optical wireless communication is another growing field which combines optical principles and wireless techniques. This special issue brings together the state-of-the-art research contributions and developments that address the various critical issues in wireless and optical communication systems and networks. Researchers from around the world were invited to contribute to this special issue which prompted a significant number of submissions. In addition, a selected number of authors were invited from the IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology held on December 22-24, 2011 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to enhance their papers significantly and submit to the special issue. We received a total of fourteen submissions which went through rigorous review process by the experts in the field. Nine papers were finally selected for inclusion in the special issue of the journal. The contributing authors represent academic and/or research institutions from Bangladesh, China, Sweden, Thailand, and United States of America. The first paper by Alhasson and Matinanalyzes the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals.The authors found that the discrete time signals follow a Gaussian distribution while the continuous time signals follow a Rayleigh distribution. They also used a submoptimal combination technique to reduce the searching complexity of finding the optimum set of vectors to minimize PAPR.

However, wireless systems do face a number of challenges including spectral efficiency, performance reliability, power requirement, QoS, security, and complexity and flexibility of the architecture. Both academia and industries are focusing on research in wireless systems and networks significantly, which motivated the publication of the current Special Issue in wireless communications. While this Special Issue invited authors from around the world, we had also targeted pertinent papers that were presented at the IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT 2009) held on December 2123, 2009, Dhaka, Bangladesh. We had received many submissions which were then peer-reviewed, and 15 papers were finally selected for publication to appear in issues of the journal. These authors represent academic and/or research institutions from Bangladesh, Canada, China, India, Iran, Japan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and United Kingdom.

    JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS, VOL. 8, NO. 5, MAY 2013 1097 Special Issue of Selected papers of ICAEE 2011 and ICCIT 2011 Guest Editorial In this contemporary world, computers and information technology (IT) are the key factors influencing the growth by accelerating innovations in almost all sectors. Introduction of new computational methodologies and architectural optimizations in the hardware and software arena is leading to more powerful automations in both industrial and public sectors shaping economic, social and cultural growth. The optimum use of emerging technological developments in the area of computers and information technology also play an important role in supporting human health care and medical sciences. The availability of advanced modelling methodologies with high performance algorithms and data processing techniques provides an appropriate platform for understanding natural phenomena and environmental issues. These are becoming possible due to outcomes of various research and development activities being conducted by scientific communities around the world. These research findings should be shared with the public for enabling further developments. Since 1998 the series of International Conferences on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT) being organized by different public and private universities in Bangladesh has been successful in bringing together academics, researchers, IT professionals and IT managers to disseminate state of the art research activities and outcomes in these fastest growing fields. This Special Issue of the Journal of Computers presents nine papers. Two of these papers are selected from the first International Conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering (ICAEE) held at Independent University, Dhaka, Bangladesh in December 2011. The remaining seven papers are selected from the Fourteenth International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT 2011) held at the American International University (AIU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during December 22-24, 2011.
