CALL FOR PAPERS

Springer Journal of Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences

Special Issue on Pervasive Computing Systems


Pervasive networking has recently emerged as a new research topic in the 
area of communication network systems. It mainly involves methods, 
algorithms and protocols that enable devices to autonomously 
selforganize in network structures and use those infrastructures to 
facilitate the exchange of information and delivery of services. These 
systems typically communicate via low-cost and energy efficient ambient 
wireless technologies so as to enable seamless interaction and service 
provisioning.

The objective of this Special Issue is to capture recent developments 
and publish ongoing research activities in the area of pervasive 
computing systems. We encourage submission of both theoretical and 
application oriented research papers that span - but are not limited to 
- the following topics:

Networking for ambient intelligence
Context and situation -awareness in pervasive systems
Middleware for pervasive networking
Pervasive network management
Energy-aware protocols for pervasive networking
Pervasive networking applications
Positioning and tracking in pervasive networks
Privacy and security in pervasive networks
Experiences in deploying pervasive networks
Pervasive social computing
Energy management in pervasive devices
Pervasive wearable computers, RFIDs, sensor technology
Pervasive innovative HCI design


Submission Instructions:

Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently 
submitted for journal
publication elsewhere. Before submission authors should carefully read 
over the Instructions for Authors, which are located at 
thehugojournal.com/authors/instructions. Prospective authors should 
submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the 
SpringerOpen submission system at 
http://www.thehugojournal.com/manuscript according to the submission 
schedule. They should choose the correct Special Issue in the ?sections? 
box upon submitting. In addition, they should specify the manuscript as 
a submission to the ?Special Issue on Pervasive Computing Systems? in 
the cover letter. All submissions will undergo initial screening by the 
Guest Editors for fit to the theme of the Special Issue and prospects 
for successfully negotiating the review process.

For inquiries about the Special Issue, contact: Petros Nicopolitidis at
