Socially Enabled Networking and Computing. Submission ... Mobile cloud computing assisted by socially enabled techniques
Special Section: Call for Papers Announcing a Special Section in IEEE Access:
Socially Enabled Networking and Computing Submission Deadline: November 1, 2016 IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of socially enabled networking and computing. In recent years, mobile social networks, i.e. the networks of individuals with similar interests connected to each other through their mobile devices, is emerging as a source of information to achieve high efficiency communication and networking with better performance on key metrics such as lower delay, better coverage and higher data rate. The reason is that mobile devices are now powerful enough to form cooperative groups, assisting each other by sharing communication and computation resources. In such a scenario, critical technical problems should be solved to realize the potential benefits, i.e., how to efficiently utilize the computing and communication capabilities among these smart devices and how to facilitate mobile computing for human-computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be mobile in the network during normal usage? In addition to these technical challenges, another major problem is how to understand human behaviors and further utilize them in the mobile social networks to facilitate the benefits of considering human’s social relations and behaviors in mobile computing, communication and networking. The focus of this Special Section in IEEE Access is the emerging topics of mobile social networks and corresponding applications with emphasis on networking and computing. We solicit and publish original research papers on the models, algorithms, technologies, and methodologies. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
Modeling of social behaviors and interactions toward efficient networking and/or computing Economy for social-aware networking and computing socially enabled resource allocation in wireless networks Game theoretic formulation for networking and/or computing of interacting entities Socially-enhanced wireless networking technologies such as device-to-device (D2D) communications, Internet of Things (IoT), vehicular networks, LTE-U, and network virtualization socially enabled mobile computing frameworks, algorithms and experiments Mobile cloud computing assisted by socially enabled techniques, such as offloading and caching Social-aware content sharing and distributed storage in mobile communications Privacy, trust and security for socially enabled networking and computing Mobile social networking systems and prototypes
We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.
