CALL FOR PAPERS

ICUFN 2017

The Nineth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks
July 4 (Tue)~7 (Fri), 2017, Milan, Italy
http://www.icufn.org

GENERAL INFORMATION:

During the last decade, we have witnessed fast developments of various
networking technologies, and many forms of networking and systems 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, fixedmobile convergence, quality of service, variable
connectivity, spontaneous networking, autonomic networking and other
capabilities as the norm. Building on the success of the last eight years,
the ninth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks
(ICUFN 2017) 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 2017 solicits original,
unpublished contributions in all aspects of ubiquitous and future networking
and system. Submitted articles must not be concurrently considered elsewhere
for publication. We also encourage authors to submit short papers on the
early stages of research or development in progress, which present important
new challenges. Position papers on new idea and industry papers are also
welcome. The conference is organized by KICS (The Korean Institute of
Communications and Information Sciences) with the technical co-sponsorship of
IEEE Communications Society and IEICE-CS. Accepted and presented papers will
be published in the ICUFN 2017 Conference Proceedings and submitted to
IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases such as
EI Compendex, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, Thomson ISI, and IET Inspect.
