Communication and Ubiquitous Computing
Welcome to this special issue of Wireless Personal Communications. This issue contains a collection of the best papers out of various authors who have been submitted to this issue. The main goal for this issue is to be a timely vehicle for publishing selected research papers from practitioners and academia in convergence industries on this emerging topic. This issue covers some of the hottest topics in Communication and Ubiquitous Computing, including: applications for interaction processing; networking and architectures; information indexing, searching, and visualization; intelligent information processing algorithms; sensors, wireless technology and embedded systems; converged and interactive applications and frameworks; future communication systems; hybrid networking system; multicasting and multimedia delivery; architectures and protocols; data and index structures; semantic routing and search. The paper by Jeong and Shin [1] proposes an efficient authentication scheme to protect user privacy in seamless big data services. The proposed method is a security management scheme that allows users to easily access big data from different network environments by assigning a key shared among users and servers, linking big data and users' attribute information. The paper byLee et al. [2] presents a systematic classificationmanagement scheme to
