Future Information Technology and Intelligent Systems

Dear Colleagues,

During recent years, Information Technology (IT) influenced and changed every aspect of our lives and our cultures. Without various IT-based applications, we would find it difficult to keep information stored securely, to process information efficiently, and to communicate information conveniently. Future IT stands for all of the continuously evolving and converging information technologies, including digital convergence, embedded systems, mobile and wireless communications, social networks and media, UI/UX, security and trust computing, robots and intelligence, and so on in order to satisfy our ever-changing needs. This Special Issue is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in all future IT areas, including their models, services, and novel applications associated with their utilization.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Computational sciences and applications
-Digital convergence
-Cloud computing and Big data
-Embedded systems and middle ware
-Mobile and wireless communications
-Social networks and media
-UI/UX and HCI
-Security and trust computing,
-Robot and intelligence
-Internet of Things
