Call for Papers - Special Issue of "Ubiquitous Computing Systems (XI)"

　Journal of Information Processing (JIP) is pleased to announce the call for papers for a special issue of Ubiquitous Computing Systems (XI). Ubiquitous computing is a novel paradigm merging various lines of scientific and engineering research area together. We welcome high quality papers that describe original research advancing the state of the art in ubiquitous computing, including but not limited to the following topics: Sensing Technologies, Theories and Models for Ubiquitous Computing, Ubiquitous Networking Technologies, Mobile Computing, Middleware Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, and Applications. We anticipate that contributions should be relevant and grounded within Ubiquitous Computing System and authors should write for the broad interdisciplinary readers. Prof. Jin Nakazawa of Keio University has been invited to act as a guest editor for this special issue.
