[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Enabling Wireless Technologies for Green Pervasive Computing

Special Issue on Enabling Wireless
Technologies for Green Pervasive Computing
Wireless pervasive computing is a rapidly growing area that has
attracted significant attention in recent years due to its tremendous potential
impact on the quality of life and the environment. To enable green pervasive
computing, it is necessary to integrate technologies, many of which are highly
heterogeneous, from various fields including distributed computing, networking,
communications, and signal processing. Pervasive technologies can be used in
various ways to develop and enhance design models for environment
sustainability. Pervasive computing is a power tool used in businesses and
social contexts to develop computing devices and solutions which are more
environment friendly. This Special Issue focuses on enabling wireless
technologies that have the potential to make green pervasive computing truly
ubiquitous.
Many enabling wireless technologies continue to be deployed in various
pervasive computing environments. There is an increasing interest in the
computing community on how these technologies can be responsibly used
environmentally to provide ubiquitous information access. The main aim of this
special issue is to present the latest research achievements and results in the
area of green pervasive computing and, in particular, how next generation
wireless systems can help support and promote a sustainable environment. Topics
include (but are not limited to):
* Cross-layer design issues
* Green pervasive computing
* Wearable devices and technologies
* Sensor devices, designs, protocols, and applications for green pervasive computing
* RFID applications, designs, standards, and data management
* Wireless technologies and architectures in pervasive computing
* Wireless smart vehicle systems and networking
* Pervasive e-services
* QoS support in wireless systems for green pervasive computing
* Smart vehicular networks and systems for green pervasive computing
* Cellular technologies (UMTS, GSM, GPRS, etc.) for green pervasive computing
* Fault-tolerant and resilient networks
* Performance evaluation of wireless systems, and technologies
