Interview with Dr. William Liu—Editorial Board Member of Future Internet
Dr. William Liu is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE), School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences (SECMS) at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT), New Zealand. He holds Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering, both obtained at the University of Canterbury (UC), New Zealand, in 2005 and 2010, respectively. He worked as a network planner and designer in Beijing Telecom in China for 5 years before moving to New Zealand in 2002. He has co-authored more than 100 papers published in international journals and conferences, and he participates in the Program Committees of several premier IEEE conferences, including INFOCOM, GLOBECOM, ICC, GreenCom, CloudNet, DRCN, RNDM and ATNAC. He is the Founding and current Chair of IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) New Zealand North Chapter. He is the current Chair of IEEE New Zealand North Section Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT). He has been a Senior member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Green Communications and Computing (TCGCC) since 2011 and a Senior member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Big Data (TCBD) since 2015. He is a member of the New Zealand Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Tertiary Education Centre (STEM-TEC).
The following is a short Q&A with Dr. William Liu:
1. We have always been committed to publishing high-quality articles that are included in SCIE. As an Editorial Board Member of the journal Future Internet, what do you consider the criteria for manuscript screening to be? What aspects of articles do you like most?
The criteria include that the topic/ idea is novel, solid experiments and analysis, and the verification of formulas. Of course, in cases where there is a novel idea and perfect experimental analysis, we cannot have both, so the idea is novel and the requirements for the experiment can be appropriately reduced. I do not care about author groups. The editorial department needs to control the authorship in the manuscript. It is important to avoid including scholars from well-known institutions or well-known scholars who did not contribute to the article in the authorship.
2. The Editorial Office has recently made plans to increase our journal citations and we would like to take the journal to the next level by publishing more high-quality papers. Would you recommend your colleagues to contribute to Future Internet? Would you like to participate in some journal construction work for Future Internet (e.g., decision-making, webinars, reviewing)?
I like the name of the journal Future Internet very much, and it is also very attractive that Future Internet ranks 92 out of 352 (Q2) in “Computer Networks and Communications”. I am very willing to recommend my colleagues to contribute to Future Internet, and participate in the construction of the journal, such as participating in conferences, reviewing manuscripts, promoting Future Internet on the webinars I take part in, sending calls for papers on the mailing lists and participating in the webinars held by our journal to discuss the hot topics of Climate Extremes, Climate Crisis, ICT, smart grid, energy network, coordinated communication and networking.
