CALL FOR PAPERS
Information and communications technologies have progressed rapidly in this millennium for people to communicate and exchange information using multimedia (speech, video/image, text) and the same has extended to internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine and machine-to-human communication. Propelled by the explosive growth in IoT, this trend is only going to accelerate in the years to come with new inventions in the =C3=A1r= ea of human-IoT interaction technologies to deliver powerful engaging and intuitive experiences. But, these developments have remained confined to only the sensing and transmission of aural and optical information in the digital domain through the use of microphone, camera, speaker and display devices. However, the ability to integrate the other three sensory features, namely, olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste) and tactile (touch) in information transfer and replication to deliver Star-Wars-like being there experience are still far from reality.
Human bond communication (HBC) is a novel concept that incorporates all five sensory information from sensing to digitization to transmission and replication at the receiver to allow more expressive, engaging, realistic and holistic information between humans, and in some cases between humans and machines (M2H) or IoTs.
This FT solicits articles that explore different aspects of HBC, IoTs for HBC and the interplay between these two fields, M2M and M2H, which also include the other three human sensory information (olfactory, tactile and gustatory) in addition to aural and optical sensors. Although the FT invites papers on research topics on sensing and replication, the focus of these papers should be on the ICT angle in this regards and on how information is encoded, transmitted and decoded reliably and securely in a world which would increasingly become multi-sensory.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Communication aspects of biometric extending to all five senses - Smart body area network - Brain-to-brain communication - Brain-to-brain interface, Brain-to-computer interface, Computer-to-brain interface - Gustatory, tactile, olfactory sensing and replication - Human bond communication - Human bond communication(s) interface - Human unwelt expansi=C3=B3n - Interplay between HBC and IoT - Invasive (i.e. bionic) approaches - Physical world augmentation (PWA) through the inclusion of all five senses - Privacy, security, and reliability in HBC - Sensory augmentation, sensory substitution - Wearable(s) with non-aural and non-optical sensor - Wireless body area network - Sensor encoding, transmission and decoding
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible and accessible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines. It is important to note that IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits mathematical content, word count, and the number of figures and tables. Please, see the guidelines online. The number of archival references is limited to fifteen (15). All references to online sources (website URLs, web-posted papers and reports) are required to show an Accessed on date. All articles must be submitted through the IEEE Manuscript Central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee) to the "*February 2019 /
**Multi-Sensory Human Bond Communication*" category by the submission deadline according to the following schedule:
