Special Issue on: "u- and e-Service, Science and Technology"

Guest Editors:
Prof. Wai Chi Fang, National Chiao Tung University, Republic of China
Prof. Tai-hoon Kim, Hannam University, Korea
Prof. Carlos Ramos, ISEP/IPP, Portugal
Prof. Sabah Mohammed, Lakehead University, Canada
Prof. Osvaldo Gervasi, University of Perugia, Italy

This special issue will present recent progress, ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of u- and e-service, science and technology, and will be an essential resource intended for academics, practitioners, scientists and engineers involved in and wishing to understand personal and ubiquitous computing and its implications. Its topics also cover new personal technologies; new developments in handheld, wearable and mobile information devices; and the emerging communications infrastructures that support them.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 2011 International Conference on u- and e- Service, Science and Technology (UNNEST 2011; see http://www.sersc.org/UNESST2011/), but we also strongly encourage researchers who did not participate in the conference to submit papers for this call.
