The journal focuses on the field of infocommunication as a natural expansion of telecommunication, with information processing and content handling functions which include all types of electronic communications. In particular, the journalaims to address infocommunication issues which are unique to developing nations. For example, research topics on smart telecommunication systems for developing countries, applications for processing Asian languages in telecommunication systems etc., are encouraged. Topics of interest to the journal include, but are not limited to: Information theory/coding, network security, standards, applications, and information processing in telecommunication systems Internet/web-based systems/products, internet of things Network interconnection, wire, wireless, adhoc, mobile networks Cost benefit analysis and economic impact of telecommunication systems Standardization and regulatory issues Security, privacy and encryption in telecommunication systems Cellular, mobile and satellite-based systems Intelligent information systems, intelligent information retrieval, digital libraries, and network information retrieval Visual interfaces, visual query languages, and visual expressiveness of IIS Machine learning, knowledge discovery, and data mining The emphasis is on publishing quality articles rapidly and making them available to researchers worldwide in order to disseminate new knowledge and technology for the benefit of everyone. JIT is essential reading for scientists and researchers who wish to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field. The Journal of Information and Telecommunication welcomes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice), survey and position papers covering all aspects of infocommunication. The journal also accepts review articles that summarize, compare, and evaluate methodologies and representations that are proposed for the field of information technology and telecommunication. Similarly, summaries and comparisons of full-scale applications are welcomed, particularly those where scientific shortcomings have hindered success. Typic
