Smart Home Environments (SHE) are emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm
including ubiquitous, grid, and peer-to-peer computing to provide computing
and communication services any time and anywhere. But in order to realize their
advantages, it requires the security services and applications to be suitable
for SHE.
If they are realized, a user will be able to remotely access and control all
information appliances in the workplace as well as at home, and easily and conveniently
use various services to enable working from home, remote education, remote diagnosis,
virtual shopping, network gaming, and portal & high quality VOD with no
limitations on space and time.
Our Journal is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research
in the area of SHE including business models, security services, and novel applications
associated with its utilization. In this Journal, we plan to publish high quality
papers, which cover the various theories and practical applications related
smart home. The published papers are expected to present the high level results
to solve the application services and various problems in the various SH fields.
In addition, we expect they will trigger further related research and technology
improvements for SH.
The goal of this Journal is to bring together the researchers from academia
and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions
relating to the multifaceted aspects of Information Technology.
To bridge the gap of users who do not have access to major databases where
one should pay for every downloaded article; this online publication platform
is open to all readers as part of our commitment to global scientific society.
The Journal invites new and original submissions addressing theoretical and practical topics in information technology and intelligent computing fields including (but not limited to these topics):
