Call for papers: "Innovative Mobile Technology"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Image Mining.

This special issue aims to address mobile computing, and will mainly target mobile developers, professionals, industrial experts, students and professors. Mobile computing is currently one of the most cutting edge technologies. A person without a mobile device is unimaginable today.

The major challenges in the area of mobile computing relate to its operability in wireless mediums. This special issue will serve as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 3rd International Symposium on Big Data and Cloud Computing Challenges (ISBCC 2016), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Mobile internet and broadband networks
  • Mobile VAS, mobile Commerce and OTT content services
  • Mobile data security
  • Migration, integration and convergence towards 5G Wi-Fi, LTE, 3GPP, heterogeneous networks
  • Personal wireless communications beyond 5G
  • Mobile/ad hoc wireless networks, mobicast, sensor placement, target tracking
  • MAC for mobile ad hoc networks
  • MAC in 4G and future mobile networks
  • Multiple access techniques
