CALL FOR PAPERS

The Journal of Pervasive Technology

http://www.jopt.info
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent advances in IT research are rapidly transforming the field. The Journal of Pervasive Technology is a forum of exchange for research of these future technologies, particularly applied technologies in the up and coming realms of low-power, network, and smart-grid technology. With computer science and engineering technology, and mathematical theory as a foundation, the fusion of tomorrow's technologies is a much needed scholarly collaboration and the method of future progress.
This volume aims to collect new, innovative material on the theory, the design, and the practical applicability of each section. In particular, the Journal of Pervasive Technology composed five sections that are Multimedia Processing and Communication, Low Power and High Performance S/W and H/W Design, Smart Grid and its Applications, Advanced Security Technologies and Applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
