Future Internet is an open-access journal which provides an advanced forum for scientific studies related to Internet technologies and the information society. It publishes regular research papers, reviews and short communications.

Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers or the use of color figures. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

There are, in addition, unique features of this journal:

* manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed
* electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material
* manuscripts concerning summaries and surveys on research cooperation and projects (that are founded by national governments or others) to give information for a broad field of users.

Subject Areas:

* Internet-related topics, including applications
* information society
* computer science
* indexing and search engines and technologies
* semantic web, markup, RDF
* web services
* file formats, protocols
* virtual and mirror worlds
* e-Government
* e-Education and e-Learning
* any emerging topics

Dr. Brent Coker, from the Department of Management and Marketing, says that workers who engage in ‘Workplace Internet Leisure Browsing’ (WILB) are more productive than those who don’t. The attraction of WILB, according to Dr. Coker, can be attributed to people’s imperfect concentration. “Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a day’s work, and as a result, increased productivity.” However, Dr. Coker says that it is important such browsing is done in moderation, as Internet addiction can have the reverse effect.

A survey of internet leaders, activists and analysts shows they expect major tech advances as the phone becomes a primary device for online access, voice-recognition improves, artificial and virtual reality become more embedded in everyday life, and the architecture of the internet itself improves.
