CALL FOR PAPERS

ICUFN 2016

The Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks
July 5 (Tue)~8 (Fri), 2016, Vienna, Austria
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 seven years, the eighth
International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN 2016)
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 ICUFN 2016 solicits original, unpublished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 and IEICE-CS. Accepted and presented papers
will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore
as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases through EI
Compendex, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, Thomson ISI, and
IET Inspect.
