  • Pattern Recognition

    • ISSN: 0031-3203
    Pattern Recognition is a mature but exciting and fast developing field, which underpins developments in cognate fields such as computer vision, image processing, text and document analysis and neural networks. It is closely akin to machine learning, and also finds applications in fast emerging areas such as biometrics, bioinformatics, multimedia data analysis and most recently data science. The journal Pattern Recognition was established some 50 years ago, as the field emerged in the early years of computer science. Over the intervening years it has expanded considerably.The journal accepts papers making original contributions to the theory, methodology and application of pattern recognition in any area, provided that the context of the work is both clearly explained and grounded in the pattern recognition literature. Papers whos primary concern falls outside the pattern recognition domain and which report routine applications of it using existing or well known methods, should be directed elsewhere. The publication policy is to publish (1) new original articles that have been appropriately reviewed by competent scientific people, (2) reviews of developments in the field, and (3) pedagogical papers covering specific areas of interest in pattern recognition. Various special issues will be organized from time to time on current topics of interest to Pattern Recognition. Submitted papers should be single column, double spaced, no less than 20 and no more than 35 (40 for a review) pages long, with numbered pages.

  • Online Social Networks and Media

    • ISSN: 2468-6964
    Online Social Networks and Media (OSNEM) are one of the most disruptive communication platforms of the last 15 years with high socio-economic value. Nowadays, OSNEM are regularly used by billions of users to interact, and they are key platforms for (among others) content and opinion dissemination, social and professional networking, recommendations, scouting, alerting, and political campaigns. The use of social technologies has become a sweeping cultural, social and economic phenomenon. Social platforms can exploit the "cognitive surplus" of our society for creating content and support collaboration.Moreov... the widespread diffusion of mobile personal devices (smartphones and tablets) is boosting the pervasive use of OSNEM services, as well as fostering the design of novel social networking services where users' mobility is one of the key features. OSNEM, thus, represent a challenging environment for computer scientists working in academia and industry, to develop innovative ideas, fostering the design of the new generation of communication platforms and their services. The pervasive penetration of OSNEM in our lives is having very significant impacts also on the type of OSNEM services and, more in general, on societal services. The digital footprints that people leaves in OSNEM provide a unique source to investigate and understand (by exploiting data mining and machine learning techniques) people's behavior (e.g., mobility patterns, opinions and interests spreading), and human relationships in the society. OSNEM can thus become a (social) microscope for understanding the human behavior both in the cyber and in the physical world and hence can be a powerful tool for investigating societal phenomena (the epidemics spreading, the terrorist networks, the diffusion of opinions, the pulse of a city, etc.) and develop innovative services.OSNEM is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theoretical and experimental) and survey papers covering all aspects of OSNEM: from OSNEM protocols and applications to the use of data mined from OSNEM for modeling and understanding the human behavior in the cyber-physical world. It is a multidisciplinary journal for the wide community of computer and network scientists working on developing OSNEM platforms and services and using OSNEM as a big data source to mine, learn and model the (online) human behavior. The journal also welcomes contributions applying a wide range of (computer- and network-science) techniques and tools to OSNEM for investigating how social relationships affect other scientific fields, e.g., social and political sciences, economic and financial sciences, medical sciences.Topics include, but are not limited to:OSNEM platforms, protocols and applications;Decentr... mobile and location-based OSNEM;Trust, reputation, privacy and security in OSNEM;Dynamics of trends, information and opinion diffusion in OSNEM;Recommendation... and advertising in OSNEM;Measurement, analysis and modeling of popular online social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, etc.);Data mining, and machine learning in OSNEM systems;Social media analysis and social analytics;Informatio... extraction and search in OSNEM;Complex-networ... analysis of OSNEM;Measurement, analysis and modeling of social behavior through OSNEM data;Analysis of the use of OSNEM in the urban context;Crowdsourcin... and online social networks;Multidiscip... applications of OSNEM (economics, medicine, society, politics, homeland security, etc.).

    The International Journal for the Computer and Telecommunications IndustryComputer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today's computer-communicati... infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms.Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications.

Proposals submitted via any other means will not be considered for review. For more information on how to prepare and submit a SI proposal please check https://www.elsevier... and Scope As envisioned by Mark Weiser as early as 1991, pervasive computing systems and services have truly become integral to our daily lives. Tremendous advancements in a multitude of technologies ranging from personalized and embedded smart devices (e.g., smartphones, sensors, wearables, IoT) to ubiquitous connectivity through wireless mobile communications and cognitive networking infrastructures, to advanced computing techniques (including mobile edge/fog/cloud, data analytics and machine learning) and user-friendly middleware services and platforms have significantly contributed to the unprecedented advances in pervasive and mobile computing.Such cutting-edge pervasive technologies and paradigms have led to the convergence of cyber-physical-human systems with applications to smart environments (e.g., smart homes and cities, smart grid, smart transportation, smart health, smart agriculture) with the goal to improve human experience and quality of life without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies. Additionally, the huge amount of (real-time) data collected via pervasive devices coupled with advanced data analytic, machine learning and AI (Artificial Intelligence) techniques for reliable prediction and decision-making are making breakthrough research in pervasive computing and applications, such as self-driving cars, predictive maintenance in the industry 4.0 environments, mobile recommendation systems, etc.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.
