Call For Papers

The 6th International Conference on Future Information Technology

(FutureTech 2011)

http://www.ftrai.org/futuretech2011


June 28-30, 2011, Loutraki, Greece

Overview

Future technology information technology would stand for all of continuously evolving and converging information technologies, including digital convergence, multimedia convergence, intelligent applications, embedded systems, mobile and wireless communications, bio-inspired computing, grid and cloud computing, semantic web, user experience and HCI, secuity and trust computing and so on, for satisfying our ever-changing needs.

In past twenty five years or so, Information Technology (IT) influenced and changed every aspect of our lives and our cultures. Without various IT-based applications, we would find it difficult to keep information stored securely, to process information efficiently, and to communicate information conveniently. In the future world, IT will play a very important role in convergence of computing, communication, and all other computational sciences and application and IT also will influence the future world's various areas, including science, engineering, industry, business, law, politics, culture, medicine, and so on.

Our conference is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in all future IT areas, including their models, services, and novel applications associated with their utilization.

FutureTech 2011 is the next event in a series of highly successful the International Conference on Future Information Technology (FutureTech 2010, Busan, Korea, 2010), previously held as International Symposium on Ubiquitous Applications & Security Services (UASS-09, USA, Jan. 2009), UASS-08 (Okinawa, Japan, Mar. 2008), UASS-07 (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August, 2007), and UASS-06 (Glasgow, Scotland, UK, May, 2006).

All accepted papers will bepublished in the Springer CCIS proceedings (Confirmed) (EI and ISTP), which will be indexed by the following services: EI Compendex(Since 2010), ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), included in ISI Web of Science, DBLP and Scopus.



Instructions for papers in the Springer's CCIS（Note that the paper format of CCIS is the same as that of LNCS）

- Prepare your paper in the exact format as the sample paper for CCIS. Failure to do so may result in the exclusion of your paper from the proceedings. Please read the authors' instructions carefully before preparing your papers.

- Springer accepts both Microsoft Word and LaTex format in the Lecture Note Series. However, FTRA does not accept the use of LaTex. Therefore, you should use the Microsoft Word instead of using LaTex (The paper will be excluded from the proceeding if you use LaTex). Springer provides the relevant templates and sample files for both PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs) environments.

- Please download word.zip. If you need more help on preparing your papers, please visit Springer's LNCS web page.



After conference, special issues of international journals with high qualities will be arranged for selected papers as follows..


- The Journal of Supercomputing (JoS) - Springer (SCI)
- Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS) - Elsevier (SCIE)
- International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing - Inderscience (SCIE)
- Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP) - Springer (SCIE)
