Pervasive And Mobile Computing

Journal Title：Pervasive And Mobile Computing

As envisioned by Mark Weiser as early as 1991, pervasive computing systems and services have truly become integral parts of our daily lives. Tremendous developments in a multitude of technologies ranging from personalized and embedded smart devices (e.g., smartphones, sensors, wearables, IoTs, etc.) to ubiquitous connectivity, via a variety of wireless mobile communications and cognitive networking infrastructures, to advanced computing techniques (including edge, fog and cloud) and user-friendly middleware services and platforms have significantly contributed to the unprecedented advances in pervasive and mobile computing. Cutting-edge applications and paradigms have evolved, such as cyber-physical systems and smart environments (e.g., smart city, smart energy, smart transportation, smart healthcare, etc.) that also involve human in the loop through social interactions and participatory and/or mobile crowd sensing, for example. The goal of pervasive computing systems is to improve human experience and quality of life, without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies.

The Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (PMC) is a high-impact, peer-reviewed technical journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles spanning theory and practice, and covering all aspects of pervasive and mobile computing and systems.

正如 Mark Weiser 早在 1991 年所設想的那樣，普適計算系統和服務已真正成為我們日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。從個性化和嵌入式智能設備（例如智能手機、傳感器、可穿戴設備、物聯網等）到通過各種無線移動通信和認知網絡基礎設施實現的無處不在的連接，再到先進的計算技術（包括邊緣、霧和云）以及用戶友好的中間件服務和平臺，眾多技術取得了巨大發展，為普適計算和移動計算的空前進步做出了重大貢獻。尖端應用和范式已經發展起來，例如信息物理系統和智能環境（例如智能城市、智能能源、智能交通、智能醫療等），這些系統和環境也通過社交互動和參與式和/或移動群體感知將人類納入其中。普適計算系統的目標是改善人類體驗和生活質量，而無需明確了解底層的通信和計算技術。

《普適和移動計算雜志》（PMC）是一本影響力大的同行評審技術雜志，發表涵蓋理論和實踐的高質量科學文章，涵蓋普適和移動計算及系統的各個方面。

Pervasive And Mobile Computing創刊于2005年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS - TELECOMMUNICATIONS全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數3，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
