CALL FOR PAPERS

ICUFN 2014

The Sixth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks
July 8 (Tue)~11 (Fri), 2014, Shanghai, China
http://www.icufn.org

GENERAL INFORMATION:

During the last decade, we have witnessed fast developments of various
networking technologies, and many forms of networking are becoming
core parts of our daily lives. With the proliferation of future wireless
technologies and electronic devices, there is a fast growing interest in
ubiquitous and future networks. In the days to come, we expect that the
ubiquitous communication and networking technologies will become
ubiquitous along with the emergence of many future networking technologies.
The ubiquitous and future network will offer multiservice, multimedia services
convergence, mobility, service ubiquity and context awareness, fixed-mobile
convergence, quality of service, variable connectivity, spontaneous networking,
autonomic networking and other capabilities as the norm. Building on the success
of the last five years, the Sixth International Conference on Ubiquitous and
Future Networks (ICUFN 2014) aims at addressing advances in research on
ubiquitous and future networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues
to emerging applications and test-bed developments. ICUFN 2014 solicits original,
unpublished contributions in all aspects of ubiquitous and future networking.
Submitted articles must not be concurrently considered elsewhere for publication.
The conference is organized by KICS (The Korean Institute of Communications and
Information Sciences) with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Communications
Society. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the ICUFN 2014 Conference
Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore. The ICUFN 2014 Conference Proceedings
will also be submitted for indexing through EI Compendex, ScienceDirect, Scopus,
Web of Knowledge, Thomson ISI, and IET Inspect.
