Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mobile computing is an emerging field that brings in a paradigm shift in computer systems and networks, aiming to create ambient intelligence where network devices embedded in the environment provide nomadic connectivity and services all the time, thus improving human experience and quality of life without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies. This Special Issue focuses on key technical issues related to theories, architectures, algorithm/protocol design and analysis, applications, and emerging technologies in mobile computing.
This Special Issue solicits original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Design, implementation, and performance evaluation of mobile systems and applications
- Mobile ad hoc sensor networks
- Mobile crowd sensing platforms, applications, and incentive mechanisms
- Mobile cyber physical systems
- Mobile opportunistic networks
- Mobile social networks
- Modeling, simulation/emulation, and measurement of mobile computing systems
- Next generation wireless technologies and related protocols and systems
- Protocols and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity
- Quality of service in mobile or wireless networks
- Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems and Internet of Things
- Theories of mobile computing and wireless networking
- Vehicular networks
