Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Networking

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue will be associated with, though not exclusively, the 11th International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Networking (ICMU2018). The authors of papers accepted to ICMU 2018 are invited to submit extended versions to this Special Issue.

This Special Issue focuses on the research and development of mobile communications, applications, algorithms, and systems, as well as ubiquitous services and computing. Through these efforts, we expect to help advance technologies for next-generation distributed and ubiquitous computing, where humans, networked sensors, connected devices, and the environment are involved. Examples of such technologies are IoT, human-centric sensing, energy-efficient mobile systems, social-networking, machine-to-machine communications, mobile cloud computing and mobile social P2P. Not only these issues, but also fundamental algorithms and theories for mobile system privacy, security, reliability, and robustness, are also topics of interest.

In this Special Issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Wireless access technologies
2. Networked sensing, and applications
3. Mobile device architectures
4. Mobile systems and applications
5. Mobile data management and analytics
6. Mobile multimedia
7. Mobile user interfaces and interaction technologies
8. Mobile user experience
9. Toolkit, and languages for mobile computing
10. Energy aware mobile computing
11. Mobile cloud computing
12. Semantic web technologies
13. Localization and tracking
14. Internet of things
15. Crowdsourcing
16. Participatory sensing
17. Social network applications to mobile computing
18. Wearable computing
19. Context and location aware applications and services
20. Body area networks
21. Trust, security and privacy
22. Edge computing
23. Machine learning for mobile and ubiquitous computing

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
