Description

Pervasive computing and communications is emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm and discipline to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere. Its systems are now invading every aspect of life to the point that they are disappearing inside all sorts of appliances or can be worn unobtrusively as part of clothing and jewelry.

This emergence is a natural outcome of research and technological advances in wireless networks, embedded systems, mobile computing, distributed computing and agent technologies. Its explosive impact on academics, industry, government and daily life can be compared to that of electric motors over the past century but promises to revolutionize life much more profoundly than elevators, electric motors or even personal computer evolution ever did.

The International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications addresses all resulting profound challenges including technical, safety, social, legal, political, and economic issues and delivers the state-of-the-art of all aspects of pervasive computing and communications including wireless communication, mobile computing, embedded systems, user interface technologies, human-computer interaction, distributed computing, and ubiquitous applications.

Objectives

The objective of the International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications is to provide a high profile, leading edge forum for academics, industrial professionals, educators and policy makers working in the field to contribute, to disseminate innovative and important new work on pervasive computing and communications, eventually to achieve a world saturated with computing and communications, yet gracefully integrated with human users.

Readership

Scientists, engineers, researchers, graduate students, educators, managers and industrial professionals.

Content

The International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications  is a refereed international journal, initially publishes four issues per year, providing an international premier channel to report, discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel algorithms, design methodology, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the emerging field of pervasive computing and communications as well as potential future directions and issues. Papers should be of a quality that represents the latest technical developments of pervasive computing and communications in hardware technology, software infrastructure, novel algorithms, system considerations, physical and human interaction and ubiquitous applications.
