Journal Guide

The aim of this interdisciplinary and international journal is to provide a forum for the exchange of original ideas, techniques, designs and experiences in the rapidly growing field of location based services on networked mobile devices. TheJournal of Location Based Services is intended to interest those who design, implement and deliver location based services in a wide range of contexts. Published research will span the field from location based computing and next-generation interfaces through telecom location architectures to business models and the social implications of this technology. The diversity of content echoes the extended nature of the chain of players required to make location based services a reality. Hence the journal's aim is to bridge the research undertaken in industry and academia and promote communication amongst all in this diverse and rapidly growing sector.All published research articles in the Journal of Location Based Services have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

The Journal of Signal Processing Systems publishes research, survey and short papers on the design and implementation of signal processing systems, with or without VLSI circuits. Readers will find a wide range of topics covered within the subject areas of system design and implementation, algorithms, architectures, and applications. In addition to original, peer reviewed content, the journal features high quality workshop, symposium, and conference papers with an emphasis on system design. The Journal of Signal Processing Systems now accepts short papers for publication. Short papers in the Journal of Signal Processing Systems are intended for rapid dissemination of research contributions of significant novelty and quality, e.g., as an alternative to publication in high-quality conferences.

The Journal of The Franklin Institute has an established reputation for publishing high-quality papers in the field of engineering and applied mathematics. Its current focus is on communications, signal processing, control systems, and their applications. All submitted papers are peer-reviewed.
