Call for Papers Special Issue on "Ubiquitous Computing, Technology, and Applications" Tamkang Journal of Science and Engineering (indexed by EI )
Important Dates =========== Full Papers Due: September 20, 2010 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection/Revision: November 20, 2010 Final Manuscript Due: December 20, 2010 Tentative Publication Date: Depend on the publisher’s schedule
Theme and Scope ============ With the rapid developments of technology, small, inexpensive, and robust networked processing devices have become part of everyday life. Ubiquitous computing has become an area of intense research in the last couple of years particularly with the need to access information anytime, anywhere, on any device. However, several areas of ubiquitous computing still need to be explored to overcome the various challenges with innovative solutions. The main aim of this special issue is to present emerging technologies, theoretical studies, practical applications, and experimental prototypes in the field of ubiquitous computing. Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited.
Topics appropriate for this special issue include, but are not limited to:
* Next generation networks * New and emerging technologies, service, and applications for mobile computing * Mobile computing applications/architectures/systems * Network commerce technologies and applications * Energy-efficient software/ hardware design * Wireless networks * Wireless data services * Multimedia/QoS * Security in network communications * Security and data protection * Ubiquitous computing * Mobile/Ubiquitous learning and environments * Architecture of educational information systems * Teaching information literacy * Context-aware network services and applications * Context-aware protocols and protocol architectures for networks and applications * Algorithms for network computing
Instructions for Manuscripts =================== Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research results and recent developments. Manuscripts should be written in English and strictly follow the guidelines of the Tamkang Journal of Science and Technology at http://www2.tku.edu.tw/~tkjse/. Prospective authors should submit full manuscripts in PDF by e-mail to the corresponding Guest Editor, Dr. Kuei-Ping Shih, at kpshih@mail.tku.edu.tw by September 20, 2010. In addition, papers submitted for consideration for this special issue should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Previously published conference papers should be clearly identified as much and an explanation must accompany such submissions detailing how such papers have been extended in order to be considered for further publication in this special issue. In addition, the guest editors may work with the Editor-in-chief of the journal to invite distinguished researchers in the related areas for position papers.
