Call for papers - Special issue of "Pervasive Systems and Intelligent Transport Systems for Smart Society"

Journal of Information Processing (JIP) is pleased to announce the call for papers for a special issue of “Pervasive Systems and Intelligent Transport Systems for Smart Society”. The research community on mobile communication technology and intelligent transportation systems has been working on to realize the smart society with intelligent information obtained through various types of information technology equipment. In the area of mobile communication and pervasive systems, research topics being explored are broadband wireless communication devices such as LTE and 5G, developments of IoT and M2M and advancements in ad-hoc networks and sensor networks. The ideas in research and development areas are about to be deployed to build the smart society. In the special issue of “Pervasive Systems and Intelligent Transport Systems for Smart Society”, the program committee especially seeks paper submissions in these areas, as follows.

・Mobile Computing System(Architecture, Protocol, Management, Security)
・Sensor Network, Information Appliance / Home Network, Ad-hoc Network
・ Communication Medium (5G, LTE, Wi-Fi,, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IrDA, DSRC, Digital Broadcasting, etc.)
・Mobile / Pervasive / Ubiquitous / Wearable Computing
・Mobile Agent, Mobile Web Service
・Mobile Application, RFID Tag
・Intelligent Transportation System
・Geometry Information System, Location Aware Service
・HMI, High Performance Handheld Devices, Electronic Settlement, Security, QoS, OS
・Transportation Management (Supply Chain Management, Traffic Estimation and Prediction System)
