Special Issue on Dynamic Intelligence Towards Merging Cloud and Communication Services
Theme and Scope
The ever-growing next generation communication and cloud technologies provide Dynamic Intelligence (DI) and play an increasingly critical role in all aspects of our lives. Following ubiquitous computing, sensors, e-tags, networks, information, services, etc., is a road towards a smart world created on both cyberspaces and real spaces. Despite a wide body of research development effort, ensuring the communications of cyberspaces and real spaces, how to merge cloud and communication services remains an open challenge.
This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high quality research in ideas, methods, theories, techniques in the area of DI towards merging cloud and communication services. In particular, the special issue is to showcase the most recent developments and research in the DI field. Original and research articles are solicited in all aspects of including theoretical studies, practical applications, new communication technology and experimental prototypes. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and selected on the basis of both their quality and their relevance to the theme of this special issue.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Modeling, Semantics and Protocols for dynamic intelligence
- Automated and adapted services for dynamic intelligence
- Agent technology for dynamic intelligence
- Sensor, Ad Hoc, Mesh & P2P Networks
- Intelligent Services and Architectures
- Agents, Swarm and Context-aware Systems
- Nature-inspired Intelligent Systems
- Pervasive/Ubiquitous Media and Services
- Infrastructure as a Service
- Platform as a Services
- Software as a Services
- Content-Centric Networking
- Service-Oriented Internet Architecture
- Programmable Networking Architecture
- Personalized Communication Protocols
- Automated and adapted services in dynamic intelligence
- Embedded systems and its software for dynamic intelligence
- Trustworthy, security and privacy for dynamic intelligence
- Fusion of the Internet, Mobile and TV Networks
- Practice of ubiquitous communications for dynamic intelligence
Instructions for Manuscripts
This special issue intends to give an intelligence-oriented original overview of the state-of-the-art of problems and solution guidelines emerging in the ubiquitous intelligence and computing areas, thus completing the panorama of current cloud computing and communication research efforts. Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. Papers, which have appeared previously in conference proceedings, could be submitted to this special issue if they are substantially revised or improved and extended from their earlier versions with at least 50% new materials or results to comply with the copyright regulations. Prospective authors should submit full manuscripts with MS Word format or PDF format, electronically by e-mail to the Corresponding Guest Editor, Professor Ching-Hsien Hsu, at chh-AT-chu.edu.tw
