The International Journal for the Computer and Telecommunications Industry

Computer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today's computer-communication infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms.

Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications. Topics include, but are not limited to:

    Internet of Things
    Edge/cloud computing
    Green networking
    Mobile and ubiquitous networks
    Terrestrial and Non-terrestrial networks
    Mobile network services and applications
    Experimental test-beds and research platforms
    Algorithmic aspects of communication networks
    Emerging technologies for next generation network
    Future Internet architecture, protocols and services
    Modeling, measurement, and simulation of computer communication networks 

Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence of Things for Future Communication Networks
截稿日期: 2024-12-31

The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) technologies brings about artificial intelligence of things (AIoT), referring to a groundbreaking technology that leverages AI models to process the large amount of data generated by IoT devices. AIoT collects and processes IoT data in real time and empowers IoT devices to run AI models for intelligent decisions. AIoT seamlessly integrates the cutting-edge technologies, e.g., sensing, cloud and edge computing, and big data analytics, and has a wide range of applications, e.g., intelligent transportation systems and smart healthcare.

We envision the future communication network to be a large-scale mass-connected network consisting of billions of cloud, edge, and end devices. AIoT empowers future communication networks in mass connection, low-latency data transmission and routing, virtualization and resource abstraction, data security and privacy, intelligent decisions, etc. Meanwhile, future communication networks provide a platform to meet the high storage, networking, and computation requirements and run AIoT algorithms.

This special issue aims to tackle the challenging issues and foster original research and innovative solutions related to AIoT for future communication networks. We welcome the dissemination of high-quality research on emerging ideas, approaches, theories, frameworks, and practices of AIoT technologies, especially in future communication networks. Prospective authors are invited to submit original manuscripts on topics including but not limited to:

    New AIoT framework, architecture, and platforms of future communication networks
    AIoT sensing and communication in future communication networks
    Edge artificial intelligence for AIoT
    AIoT security and privacy solutions for future communication networks
    AIoT machine learning and data mining for future communication networks
    Novel systems and cases studies of AIoT-enabled future communication networks
    Emerging applications of AIoT-enabled future communication networks

Note that the impact of the contributions should be clearly demonstrated in the context of AIoT in future communication networks. Papers that do not directly address this theme will be considered out of scope and will be subject to immediate rejection. Merely including a few descriptive paragraphs in the introduction is not sufficient to demonstrate relevance; the entire manuscript should be substantially focused on AIoT in future communication networks.

Special Issue on Selected and extended papers from the 20th International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications (WiMob 2024)
截稿日期: 2025-03-21

WiMob is an International forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience among researchers, developers and practitioners of wireless and mobile technology. This year, the conference will focus on 5G, IoT, Cyber Security and use of Artificial Intelligence for mobile and wireless Networks. Accepted papers at WiMob 2024 with high scores and very good comments (on the technical and originality parts) will be invited to be extended for the special issue of WiMob 2024 according to the rules of Elsevier Computer Communication Journal.

The WiMob conference is an international forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with wireless and mobile technology. For twenty years, the International WiMob conference has provided unique opportunities for researchers to interact, share new results, show live demonstrations, and discuss emerging directions in - Wireless Communication, - Wireless Networking, Mobility and Nomadicity, - Ubiquitous Computing, Services and Applications, - Green and sustainable communications and network computing and - Security on Wireless and mobile Networks.

WiMob 2024 is soliciting high quality technical papers addressing research challenges in the areas of wireless communications, wireless networking, mobility, nomadicity, ubiquitous computing, services and applications. Papers should present original work validated via analysis, simulation or experimentation. Practical experiences and Testbed trials also are welcome.

WiMob 2024 will host FIVE parallel symposia:

    Wireless Communications (WC)
    Wireless Networking, Mobility and Nomadicity (WNMN)
    Ubiquitous Computing, Services and Applications (UCSA)
    Green and Sustainable Communications and Network computing (GSCN)
    Security on Wireless and Mobile Networks (SWMN)

For the detailled topics, you can refer to WiMob 2024 web site.
