Special Issue on Ubiquitous Computing and Applications

Ubiquitous computing is a concept in software engineering and computer science where computing is made to appear anytime and everywhere. Many novel but more specific computing mechanisms and paradigms have been recently driven from the broad view of ubiquitous computing, such as pervasive, context-aware, sentient, invisible, disappearing, everyday, wearable, proactive, autonomic, organic, sustainable, handheld, palpable, amorphous, spray, embedded computing, ambient intelligence, etc.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Ubiquitous Computing and Applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Embedded hardware and systems
• Ubiquitous networking and intelligent services
• Embedded software and intelligence
• Smart objects and environments
• Real and cyber world semantics
• Ubiquitous intelligence modeling
• Ubiquitous privacy and trust
• Ubiquitous intelligence implications and social factors
• Middleware services and agent technologies
• User interfaces and interaction models
• Mobile computing systems and services
• Context-aware computing and location-based services and applications

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Ubiquitous Computing and Applications” should be selected during your submission.
