subject: Ieee Computer Society Top Trends For 2013 [print this page] IEEE Computer Society journals, computer magazines, and conferences are continually at the forefront of current technology trends. That's just one of the reasons that IEEE Computer Society is the community for technology leaders. As a technology professional, keeping on top of trends is crucial. Below are, a list of technology topics that Computer Society magazines, journals, and conferences will be focusing on next year:
1) Internet of Things
In recognition of the importance of IoT, Computer, the IEEE Computer Society's flagship magazine, is planning a special issue in February 2013.
2) Cybersecurity
A special April 2013 issue of Computer, the IEEE Computer Society's flagship magazine, aims to disseminate the latest advances in cybersecurity that are critical in thwarting future threats, attacks, fraud, and damage.
3) Big Data Visualization
This 2013 theme issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications aims to highlight the latest advancements in solving the big data problems via visual means
4) Cloud Computing in Science and Engineering
The goal of this 2013 special issue of IEEE Computing in Science & Engineering is to explore how cloud platforms and abstractions, either by themselves or in combination with other platforms.
5) Mobile Computing Meets the Cloud
This special issue of IEEE Pervasive aims to explore the intersections of these two trends. Mobile and embedded devices make it possible for users to access cloud-based services and data anywhere and anytime, extending their reach into everyday life.
6) Internet Censorship and Control
This special issue of IEEE Internet Computing will explore the technical, social, and political mechanisms and impacts of Internet censorship and control.
7) Interactive Public Displays
This special issue of IEEE Computer Graphics & Applications will focus on research that addresses the opportunities and challenges around public indoor and outdoor urban display installations.
8) Next-Generation Mobile Computing
IEEE Software seeks submission of articles that explore the next generation of mobile computing within the contexts of mission-critical scenarios, quality-of-service differentiation, and resource constraints. The deadline is 30 June.
9) 3D Imaging Techniques and Multimedia Applications
This special issue of IEEE Multimedia aims to provide an overview of recent rapid advances in 3D acquisition systems and the many multimedia applications that can benefit from 3D integration and understanding.
10) Safety-Critical Systems: The Next Generation
In May/June 2013, IEEE Computer Society publications will take an unprecedented look at safety-critical systems with coordinated publication of special issues in IEEE Software and IEEE Security & Privacy.
11) Reliability
To this end, IEEE Micro seeks original papers for its July/August issue on all topics related to reliability that span the spectrum of layers in the system stack, from device, circuit and architecture design to the role of software in enabling robust and reliable computing. The deadline is 8 January.
12) Haptics in Rehabilitation
A special 2013 issue of IEEE Transactions on Haptics is about understanding the role of touch in sensorimotor coordination, including rehabilitation of motor deficits and use of advanced prostheses and orthoses.
13) Multicore Memory Coherence
This special October 2013 issue of Computer will focus on approaches to providing scalable, shared memory at the on-chip level, paramount in a future where individual nodes will have on the order of 1,000 cores each. Submissions are due by 1 March 2013.
