Overview

The current state of mobile communication systems has advanced to the point that now they contain novel processing

technologies and have applications that give them capabilities and power similar to traditional desktop computers, along with

global access to data via the Internet. It has been argued that this is largely a result of the emphasis on pervasive computing

along with the requirements for ubiquitous network access. In addition, recent mobile communication systems like

Smartphone, tablet, and mobile gadgets represent an advanced communication environment featuring daily-life objects that

continuously involve and are focused on final non-expert users. Most researchers predict that these smart devices and

platforms’ communication systems, as they continue to be developed, will provide an avenue for many new types of services.

This trend of rapid growth of smart communication systems throughout the past few years has contributed to an increase of

pervasive computing and has provided a variety of convergence services. The goal of this issue is to bring together state of

the art research that describes original and unpublished work addressing Advanced Processing Technologies and

Applications for Mobile Communication Systems. It will reflect the state of the art of the various smart devices’

communication, network, applications and services, platforms, security of new processing techniques in engineering, science,

and other disciplines related to the Smartphone applications and services for pervasive computing and the Internet of Things.

Research areas of relevance would therefore include, but not limited to, the following topics:
