To: "ict4s(a)lists.ifi.uzh.ch" <ict4s(a)lists.ifi.uzh.ch> Dear colleagues, I would like yo draw your attention to a new special issue on "Sustainable Communication Networks” of the MDPI Sustainability Journal with Impact Factor of 2.075: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/ Sustainable_Communication_Networks We appreciate submissions, where communication networks have been applied and are planned to be applied to achieve any of the Sustainable Development Goals. The deadline is November 30, 2018. If you would like to take advantage of the “featured paper” option, please let me know before submitting your paper. Below you can find more details about the special issue. Kind regards, Anna Förster ___ This Special Issue is dedicated to sustainable communication networks. On one side, communication networks can be designed with sustainability in mind—they can be resource-efficient, interoperable or open. On the other side, communication networks have also the potential to improve sustainability in other areas, such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, health monitoring, etc. In this Special Issue, we would like to span all these areas and show how, broadly, various types of communication networks can be used to support a more sustainable life on Earth. Types of communication networks of interest include, but are not limited to: • Wireless Sensor Networks and the Internet of Things • Opportunistic and device-to-device communications • Infrastructure-less communications • Pervasive and ubiquitous networking Applications targeted include, but are not limited to: • Supporting any of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) • Agriculture and environmental sensing/monitoring • Crowd and participatory sensing • Educating for the SDGs • Interoperability and back compatibility in telecommunications • Resource efficiency and re-usage/re-cycling • Waste monitoring • Pollution and waste monitoring/management • Anti-poaching and game preservation applications Special Issue Editor: Prof. Dr. Anna Förster — Prof. Dr. Anna Förster Sustainable Communication Networks Faculty of Physics and Electrical Engineering University of Bremen NW1, Otto-Hahn-Allee 1 28359 Bremen, Germany Tel. +49 421 218 62383 Fax. +49 421 218 98 62383 _______________________________________________ ICT4S mailing list ICT4S(a)lists.ifi.uzh.ch https://lists.ifi.uzh.ch/listinfo/ict4s
