Journal of Computer Networks and Communications invites manuscript submissions in the area of "Emerging Trends, Issues, and Challenges in Communications and Computing Techniques towards Future Smart Cities"

The world is experiencing a period of extreme urbanization. Cities in the 21st century will account for nearly 90% of global population growth, 80% of wealth creation, and 60% of total energy consumption. The world urbanization continues to grow, and the global population is expected to double by 2050. Smart cities are emerging as a priority for research and development across the world. In general, a smart city is defined as the ability to integrate multiple technological solutions in a secure fashion to manage the city’s assets such as local department’s information systems, schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, law enforcement, and other community services. The goal of building a smart city is to improve the quality of life by using technology to improve the efficiency of services and meet residents’ needs.

Business drives technology and large-scale urbanization drives innovation and new technologies. Technology is driving the way city officials interact with the community and the city infrastructure. The rapid progress in smart cities research is posing enormous challenges in terms of economic growth, health, wellness, energy efficiency, and transportation. It is a global imperative to develop systems that improve the livability of cities while dramatically reducing resource consumption. Through the use of real-time systems and sensors, data are collected from citizens and objects. Thus the real-time data communication among sensors and the efficient computing in data processing center are the essential issues to solve.

Today, academic research and industrial applications in the area of smart cities seek to integrate existing city infrastructure, networks, and urban behavior through the deployment and utilization of wireless networks and cloud computing. Cities that employ wireless communication techniques have reported improvements in energy efficiency, water use, public safety, road congestion, and many other areas.

The special issue is intended to encourage high-quality researches in smart cities and push the theoretical and practical research forward for a deeper understanding in the wireless technologies, mobile computing, and smart environments of smart cities. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice about the communication and computing of smart cities, including algorithms, modeling, technology, and application. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. The topics suggested can be discussed in terms of concepts, the state of the art, standards, implementations and evaluation, and running experiments or applications.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  *

•Real-time communication algorithm among the sensors of smart cities
•Distributed compressed sensing for data collection in smart city
•Distributed and parallel processing for big data in smart city
• Design and analysis for energy efficiency wireless sensor network in smart city
• Big data analytics in data processing center for smart city
• Cloud computing in data processing center for smart city
• The application of mobile cloud computing for smart city
• Energy efficiency resource and network management in smart city
• Energy efficiency wireless protocols and algorithms for smart city
• New communication and computing technologies and research trends for smart city
• Security and privacy concerns in smart city
