Advanced processing technologies and applications for mobile communication systems

The current state of mobile communication systems has advanced to the point that now they contain novel processing technologies and have applications that give them capabilities and power similar to traditional desktop computers, along with global access to data via the Internet. It has been argued that this is largely a result of the emphasis on pervasive computing along with the requirements for ubiquitous network access. In addition, recent mobile communication systems such as Smartphone, tablet, and mobile gadgets represent an advanced communication environment featuring daily life objects that continuously involve and are focused on final non-expert users. Most researchers predict that these smart devices and platforms’ communication systems, as they continue to be developed, will provide an avenue for many new types of services. This trend of rapid growth of smart communication systems throughout the past few years has contributed to an increase of pervasive computing and has provided a variety of convergence services. The goal of this issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research that describes original and unpublished work addressing ‘Advanced Processing Technologies and Applications for Mobile Communication Systems’. It will reflect the state of the art of the various smart devices’ communication, network, applications and services, platforms, security of new processing techniques in engineering, science, and other disciplines related to the Smartphone applications and services for pervasive computing and the Internet of Things. This special issue is aimed to solicit research results on the following topics of interest, but not limited: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10)

Smart Device Applications and Mobile Network Services, Device & Platform Communication and Connectivity, Efficiency and Performance of Smart, Wireless, Mobile Systems, Smart Appliance, Wireless, Mobile Network and Systems, Wearable, WSN, WPAN, RFID Communication Systems, Smart Grid/Home and Building Automation Systems, Multimedia security, authentication, access control, Recent Advance Processing technologies for Communication systems, User-friendly interface and User Experience, and Future Mobile Communication Challenges and Trends.

We received many manuscripts. Each manuscript was blindly reviewed by at least three reviewers consisting of guest editors and external reviewers. After the review process, eight manuscripts were finally selected for this Special Issue. The selected manuscripts are as follows: (1) A Dynamic Control Middleware for Cyber Physical System through an IPv6-based Global Network, Sang Oh Park, Tae Hoon Do, Young-Sik Jeong, Sung Jo Kim (2) Performance Improvement of Hybrid Tag Anti-Collision Protocol for RFID Systems, Soocheol Kim, Jung-Sik Cho, Sung Kwon Kim (3) Adaptive Anomaly Control for Alleviating the Exclusive Channel Occupation in Wireless Networks, Hyunhee Park, Taeshik Shon, Seunghyun Park, Eui-Jik Kim

Dr Rodrigo Roman ([email protected]) is a security researcher working at the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) in Singapore. He also collaborates with the NICS security lab at the University of Malaga, Spain, where he obtained his PhD in Computer Science in 2008. From his point of view, security should not be an obscure concept that is difficult to apply but a simple idea that can be easily explained and deployed. Consequently, Dr Roman’s research is mainly focused on providing useful and relevant security solutions that fulfill the requirements of both applications and its users. At present, his research interests are mainly focused on the secure integration of sensor networks with other infrastructures, such as critical infrastructures, cloud environments, and the Internet of Things. Although he is a young researcher, Dr Roman is actively involved in the academic community, having published over 25 referred papers at international conferences and journals, having served over 30 times in international conference committees as member of the program committee, having organized and chaired several workshops and conferences (e.g. ESORICS, ACNS, and SecIoT), and having been a regular reviewer for over five international journals. Besides, he has participated in various Spanish (ARES and SPRINT) and international (Feel@Home, SMEPP) research projects related to network and sensor networks security.
