The IEEE Journal of RFID is soliciting special issue proposals on topics with broad interest, particularly those related to emerging technologies and applications. A special issue proposal should include the followings:
- Background and motivation
- Scope
- Relevance to RFID
- Plan for attracting authors
- Tentative schedule
- List of guest editors and their bios
- One page call for papers
The special issue proposals are submitted to Editor-in-Chief (paolo.nepa@unipi.it) of IEEE Journal of RFID and will be evaluated by the steering committee of Journal of RFID.
