International Journal of Image Mining

 

Special Issue on: "Innovative Mobile Technology"

Guest Editors:
Prof. V. Vijayakumar, Prof. V. Neelanarayanan and Prof. P. Nithyanandam, VIT University, Chennai, India
Prof. Guillaume Blin, Bordeaux University, France

This special issue aims to address mobile computing, and will mainly target mobile developers, professionals, industrial experts, students and professors. Mobile computing is currently one of the most cutting edge technologies. A person without a mobile device is unimaginable today.

The major challenges in the area of mobile computing relate to its operability in wireless mediums. This special issue will serve as a highly selective, premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks.

The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 3rd International Symposium on Big Data and Cloud Computing Challenges (ISBCC 2016), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
