Domain-specific sensing deployments in scenarios like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday environments. At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart cities and smart infrastructures. While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available solutions, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary. This especially applies to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future development of wireless sensing in general.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Soufiene Djahel <sdjahel(a)GMAIL.COM> Gesendet: 24. Februar 2017 18:21:11 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Transactions on ITS: Special issue on "Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities" *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems* *Call for papers for Special Issue on* *“Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities”* *http://www.ieee-itss.org/its-transactions-ongoing-special-issues * *_Scope:_* According to a recent UN report, continuing population growth and urbanization are expected to increase world’s urban population by 2.5 billion people and 2.9 billion vehicles by 2050. This massive growth in both population and number of vehicles, together with urban transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities. Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and *environment friendly* solutions are required to accommodate the rising demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure, affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new markets alike. Road transportationaccounts for more than one-fifth of the world’s total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2 emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This ultimately leads to *Green Transportation*, which means any eco-friendly transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on the environment. Within a Smart City, *smart and green* mobility has to be intended as the way in which citizens access and explore the city using *advanced and eco-friendly* transport modes. This implies being aware of the available mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes, ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic transport system with *lower or no environmental impact *requires the adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic management centers and city administration to control the mobility resources and policies and to proactively enhance them. This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of modern and greener transport modes. Suitable topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Congestion management and cooperative mobility applications * Parking and electric vehicle charging applications * Traffic information systems, traffic management, tolling, and routing applications * Public transport, traveler information, walking, biking, and multimodal integration applications * Carpooling, car sharing, on-demand taxi applications for greener transportation * Mobility as a service and single ticketing solutions * Commercial vehicles, freight, and cargo management applications for reduced carbon emissions * Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication modes for green transportation * Simulation and modelling of smart and green transportation * Electric and hybrid vehicles * Transportation electrification * Green transport practice and planning * Emissions, noise, environment * Environmental, pollution, and noise protection aspects of smart transportation * Participation and gamification Techniques for Carbon-low/Energy-efficient Mobility Behaviors * Vehicles emission and environmental impact * Novel application for Cyclists, Bike sharing, Car sharing, freight management * New Eco-driving protocols and applications * Policies and standards for green transportation * Synergies and Data Sharing for Smart and Green Transportation * Safety Systems and Safety Aspects of Smart and Green Transportation * Security and Privacy of Smart and Green Transportation * Projects and Field Operational Tests *_Important dates:_* *First submission deadline*:***April 30, 2017.* *Notification of first decision*: July 15, 2017. *First revision submission deadline*: September 15, 2017. *Notification of final decision*: November 15, 2017. *Final manuscript submission deadline*: December 15, 2017. *Issue of Publication*: March 2018 ** *_Guest Editors: _* *__* *Dr. Soufiene Djahel* Manchester Metropolitan University, UK s.djahel(a)mmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.djahel@mmu.ac.uk> *Dr.Christoph Sommer* University of Paderborn, Germany sommer(a)ccs-labs.org <mailto:sommer@ccs-labs.org> *Dr. Annapaola Marconi* FBK Trento, Italy marconi(a)fbk.eu <mailto:marconi@fbk.eu> ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 09:20:47 -0500 Von: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> Antwort an: Syed Hassan Ahmed <s.h.ahmed(a)IEEE.ORG> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies] --------------------- Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine --------------------- Feature Topic on Imminent Communication Technologies for Smart Communities http://www.comsoc.org/commag/cfp/imminent-communication-technologies-smart-… --------------------- Scope: Most of the research and technological advancements have vitalized the ubiquitous information access and communication around the globe. The connectivity has been extended from unmanned aerial vehicles, self- driving vehicles on the road, power generation plus distribution hubs, industries, markets, to the tiny wireless communication devices that are expected to be attached with everything situated onshore, offshore, or in the air. All of these devices generate and share information to be accessed by communities (ranging from a block to a nation), which will improve their quality of life by making smart decisions. Access to such information (real-time to big data) should be open to all members and classes of any Smart Community. Hence, the technology, more specifically, the communication technology, plays an important role to realize a smarter community. Having said that, the existing Internet architecture is host centric and intended for end-to-end communication between hosts by establishing a path first. This architecture has evolved to enable communication between varying-nature protocols, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LTE, etc. that increased the network complexity. As a result, the academic and industrial collaborations are making attempts to substrate the connectivity, routing, and other functions and transfer all the functions to software rather than embedding it within the hardware. This continual transformation in communication technologies keeps improving the QoS and QoE despite their roots in mobile networks, content delivery, home connectivity, wireless, enterprise, IoT, data centers, cloud computing, and backbone networks. Likewise, the IoT is progressively being used by various firms and industries for the planning and development of future Smart Communities. However, without utilizing the previous context of the cities, it is qui te difficult to design and build a foreseen future Smart Community. Therefore, the data generated by various IoT-enabled devices needs to be efficiently processed through various techniques and tools such as Hadoop ecosystem, etc. However, the existing techniques based on a Map-Reduce paradigm, etc. are mainly designed to process offline data. Moreover, the existing technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN), etc. can be made more intelligent and efficient to communicate the huge amount of data over the existing network with high speed. The theme of this Feature Topic is to provide an in-depth analysis both theoretically and analytically of the current advances in processing real-time data for optimal planning and management of a smart community. Moreover, we are looking for answers to the following questions: How much is the effect of SDN can be in simplifying the enormous devices setup in developing Smart Communities? On the contrary, where do we need to focus on while bridging current networking technologies to build smarter communities? What kind of education and training are required for citizens of such communities to take full benefits of the proposed architectures? What kind of groundbreaking applications can make communities smarter? What will be the acceptability aspects of Smart Communities? In addition, the authors are expected to investigate state-of-art research challenges, results, architecture, applications, and other achievements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Smart Community architectures and planning using WSN - The role of IoT in the planning of future Smart Communities - Smart management and services - Deployment of sensors and embedded devices - Smart homes, Buildings, Campuses, and Applications - The role of Cloud Computing in IoT-based Smart Communities - Big Data Analytics and Smart Communities - IoT-enabled devices and technologies - Real-Time data processing using Hadoop, SPARK, GraphLab, etc. - System, design, modeling and evaluation - Industrial applications of Smart Communities - Future Internet cohesion with applications for Smart Communities Guest Editors: Syed Hassan Ahmed, Kyungpook National University, Republic of Korea.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Datum: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 21:50:40 +0000 Von: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> Antwort an: Gidlund Mikael <mikael.gidlund(a)MIUN.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Dear All, Please find below a call for papers for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. --------------- CALL FOR PAPER: Special Section in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics "From Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks to Industrial IoT" Deadline for manuscript submissions July 1, 2017 This CFP can be seen at the website of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics at http://tii.ieee-ies.org/. The THEME -------------- Ever-growing volume of data and information is being captured from systems, machines and devices and made available to IT systems. The information is processed on-the-fly enabling IT-based management systems to make decisions for real-time control of the manufacturing process. This data capturing and collection for IT systems is often referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). When adopted to the industrial automation systems where robustness, reliability, security and latency and jitters are highly desired performance requirements, it is often called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Industrial communication systems today primarily consist of legacy systems such as HART, Foundation FIELDBUS, CAN and Profibus - well-working and established industry-specific networks installed in millions of systems. In the last decades, there has been a push for IP-based technology which has made Ethernet become a popular communication infrastructure. But to meet the stringent timing requirements of industrial applications, it has been necessary to implement real-time functionality. The communication plays a central role for the availability of all relevant information in real-time. Furthermore, it is indisputable that the mobility of objects involved in the production as well as the necessary flexibility of the production require wireless communication systems. The need for wireless communication is steadily increasing in many automation applications. In order to fully exploit the potentials offered by wireless communication for monitoring, control and automation applications, there is a further need for time-constrained communication protocols that provide bounded latency together with high reliability or energy efficiency. In addition, wireless automation applications need to interact with legacy wired communications systems and provide equivalent levels of security and dependability. Furthermore, industrial settings are highly dynamic environments which call for the ability to adapt to changes in the operating conditions while still not violating the time-constraints of the applications. Given the above scenarios, there is a need to disseminate, streamline and investigate research findings coming from several different application domains, namely from factory automation to industrial process monitoring and control, from traffic, environmental, building and structural monitoring to mobile robotics, from vehicular communication to energy management and healthcare applications. This need is especially driven by the industry interest in enabling large-scale wireless deployments for the sake of flexible, competitive and cost-efficient production. The goal of this special section is to attract papers addressing the main research issues in design, development, adoption and applications of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks and Industrial Internet-of-Things. IIoT provides a great opportunity to new gains in flexibility and productivity but also challenges as to how to merge existing installations to these new technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Architecture and protocol design for industrial IoT systems * 5G for future industrial automation * Security, safety and privacy issues in industrial wireless networks and applications * Deployment, integration and case studies of IWSN and IIoT * Performance evaluation, simulation, RF measurements, and modeling of industrial IoT systems * Embedded industrial IoT applications * Intelligent M2M Communications in industrial IoT * Cognitive IIoT * Cloud-based IIoT solutions The use of information technology also opens up new application areas for automation systems. Examples include but are not limited to: * Smart Manufacturing and Web-of-Things in the factory line * Process, Factory, Home and Building Automation * Smart grids / Smart metering * Industrial Robotics and Automation * Smart and Connected Health MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION --------------- Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://tii.ieee-ies.org/ Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii.

While traditional QoS research areas continue to attract much interest, recent exploration of Internet of things, data centers, virtualization, cloud and fog computing, cloud services, industrial communication systems, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in service guarantees with QoS, and its related metrics of Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Protection (QoP), Software Quality, Knowledge Base Quality or, more broadly, Quality of Information Technology. For more than two decades, IWQoS has established itself as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all QoS-related subjects. IWQoS 2017 sets the goal to continuing to be a premier symposium and an international forum for presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the field. The scope of IWQoS 2017 covers both newest theoretical and experimental research papers. Besides regular papers, this year, IWQoS includes the Work-in-Progress track inviting papers presenting new talent, risky ideas, and new subjects to be discussed in a creative and inspiring atmosphere of the event. It is a lively forum to discuss work among each other and with senior researchers, with a special focus on work in progress, upcoming research challenges, and new directions in the field of QoS. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Quality of services in Internet of things * Quality of cloud services and cloud computing * Quality of mobile cloud services and fog computing * Quality of protection, user experience, security and privacy * Quality of services in software-defined networking * Quality of services in information-centric networking * Quality of services in DTN, mobile and next generation cellular networking * Quality of services in information-centric networking * Quality of service in physical networks * System dependability, availability, resilience and robustness to faults and security attacks * Robustness against security vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control * Traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies * QoS parsing, identification and control * Quality of software * Quality of experience in multimedia networks * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP, overlay and peer-to-peer networks, optical networks, wireless, ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Energy awareness in communication systems * Design for future networks and computing systems with QoS in mind Regular Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be rigorously judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results.

While traditional mobile systems respond to device mobility (such as smartphones), drones allow computer systems to actively control device location, allowing them to interact with the physical world in new ways and with new-found scale, efficiency, or precision. The startup cost to experiment with and build real drone applications has dropped dramatically in recent years, also thanks to technological developments driven by the smartphone industry and the rise of the “makers” and DIY movements. Recent popular applications employing drones are 3D-mapping, search and rescue, surveillance, farmland and construction monitoring, delivery of light-weight objects and products, and video production. DroNet welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of drones as mobile computing platforms, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and protocol design, as well as requirements, constraints, dependability, and regulations. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. The primary focus of this workshop will be on civilian applications of drones. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Novel applications of drones Drone system design and deployment Drone ad-hoc networks Micro flying systems Aerial communication protocol design Drone operating systems Programming systems MAC and routing protocols for drone fleets Theoretical analysis and models for drone networks Solutions for sparse and dense fleets of drones Spectrum and regulatory issues Mission and context-aware solutions Drone coordination Mobility-aware and 3D communication Delay-tolerant networks and ferrying Energy-efficient operation and harvesting Integration of drones with backend systems Drone-based sensor networks Positioning and localization Swarm movement, coordination, and behavior Autonomous flight Artificial intelligence techniques for drones Vision and object tracking Human drone interaction Cooperative surveillance, smart cameras and sensors Acceptance, security, and privacy aspects Experimental results of aerial communication Drone testbeds DroNet invites submission of original work not previously published or under review at another conference or journal. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and considered for the Best Paper Award. A Best Presentation Award will be decided at the workshop. For more information, see http://dronet2017.neslab.it.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE Network SI on Security and Privacy of Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing Datum: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 06:38:57 -0500 Von: Hongwei Li <hongwei.uestc(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Hongwei Li <hongwei.uestc(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG As a special cloud computing platform, Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing (CVCC), which seamlessly combines cloud computing and VANETs, has been recently proposed to accelerate the adoption of VANETs, and extended the traditional cloud infrastructure consisting of a majority of stationary nodes to the edge of vehicles. CVCC is a mobile computing paradigm, which consists of in-motion vehicles cooperating with each other to achieve a bunch of practical applications, such as collaborative package delivery and information dissemination. Essentially, CVCC coordinates the computing, communication, sensing, and storage resources of the vehicles on the road to balance the service requirements and the hardware limitation. Nevertheless, different from the traditional cloud infrastructure, CVCC requires sophisticated security and privacy protection mechanisms as the legitimate users and attackers have the same privileges in CVCC. Thus, the attackers can utilize system loopholes to reach their goals, such as obtaining confidential information and tampering with the integrity of information and the availability of resources. Therefore, in order to enhance the security and scalability of CVCC, a set of security and privacy requirements such as authentication, nonrepudiation, anonymity, and traceability should be met in accordance with the expected characteristics of Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing, and a number of crucial issues must be addressed such as trust model, data security, connection fault, and query tracking attacks. This special issue covers the most recent research results that address security and privacy issues of CVCC. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to the following: -Encrypted search in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Secure outsourcing computing in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Secure data storage in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Access control and anonymization in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Authentication and authorization in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Data provenance in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Integrity verification in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Real-time security monitoring in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Useable security in Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing -Implementation and testbed for secure Connected Vehicular Cloud Computing Important Dates Submissions Deadline: October 1, 2017 First Reviews Due: December 15, 2017 Revision Due: February 15, 2018 Final Manuscript Due: March 15, 2018 Publication Date: May 2018 Submissions: Submitted papers should not be under consideration elsewhere for publication and the authors must follow the IEEE Network guidelines regarding manuscript content and format for preparation of the manuscripts.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] IEEE ACCESS Special Issue on Mission Critical Public-Safety Communications: Architectures, Enabling Technologies, and Future Applications (Impact Factor = 1.270) Datum: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 00:57:48 -0500 Von: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Zeeshan Kaleem <zeeshankaleem(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE ACCESS Special Issue on Mission Critical Public-Safety Communications: Architectures, Enabling Technologies, and Future Applications http://ieeeaccess.ieee.org/special-sections/mission-critical-public-safety-… Submission Deadline: 30 June 2017 INTRODUCTION Disaster management organizations such as fire brigades, rescue teams, and emergency medical service providers need to communicate with each other and with the victims by using mission-critical voice and data communication. In recent years, public safety agencies and organizations have started planning to evolve their existing land mobile radio system (LMRS) with long-term evolution (LTE)-based public safety solutions which provides broadband, ubiquitous, and mission-critical voice and data services. Third generation partnership project (3GPP) objective is to preserve the considerable strengths of LTE while also adding features needed for public safety. Moreover, 3GPP Release 13 has recently included the Mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT) functionality into LTE standard. Moreover, 3GPP has identified the device-to-device (D2D) communications as the key driver in emergency situations. The main motivation factor of considering D2D communications for public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) and mission-critical situations is its capability of providing the emergency services by using network-assisted scenario or by acting as a relay to transmit information from one end to another end similar to the ad-hoc network. Core communication technologies and features which will support this network configuration include direct communication mode, MCPTT, full duplex voice system, group calls, talker identification, emergency alerting, and audio quality. The software defined radio (SDR) has the potential to support seamless interoperability by implementing multi-band radios and multi-service radios. Moreover, reinforcement learning schemes can dynamically adjust the network elements by considering quality of service (QoS) requirements of the public safety user s. Thus, this will lay down an interdisciplinary research agenda that combines broadband wireless networks, unmanned air vehicles (UAV) communications, SDR, reinforcement learning, cognitive and self-organizing communications, D2D discovery and communications, stochastic geometry, and energy and time efficient spectrum management schemes, into an integrated and synergistic framework. The main objective of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to bring most recent advances in public safety architecture and communication technologies to the readership of the journal. This Special Section will provide the opportunity for research communities across the globe to share their ideas on these newly emerging fields of public safety communications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to the following: Public Safety Network Architecture Architectures for public safety networks Adaptive frames structure design for public safety networks UAV-based network architecture for public safety networks Moving cells deployment and backhaul design challenges for public safety networks Reinforcement-learning-based communication architecture for public safety networks Enabling Technologies and Future Applications for Public Safety Networks Cognitive radio technology for public safety networks Radio resource management for public safety networks Power control schemes for public safety networks Spectrum sharing and future spectrum requirements for public safety networks Routing and MAC protocols for public safety networks Cross layer protocols for public safety networks Physical layer issues for public safety networks Location detection technologies and protocols for public safety networks Stochastic geometry models for public safety networks 3D location detection protocols suitable for public safety networks Disaster resilient location detection protocols for public safety networks Robust location accuracy technology development to provide indoor localization using GPS Channel measurements and modeling for public safety networks Quality of service (QoS) and priority aware models for public safety networks Public safety networks optimization by targeting low latency applications Opportunistic offloading schemes for public safety networks UAV applications for public safety networks Reinforcement-learning applications in public safety networks Device-to-device (D2D) Discovery & Communications for public safety communication Multi-hop and relay-based communications for public safety communication Robust models for multi-hop synchronization for public safety networks Internet of things (IoT) applications in public safety communications Intra-Band Full Duplex communications for public safety communication Wireless power transfer for public safety communication Interdisciplinary research for public safety networks Software defined radio (SDR) testbeds and experiments for public safety networks We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

As these trends continue, a reexamination is urgently required for the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet. Particularly, there is a need to deal with new opportunities and challenges as a result of the support of massive amount of shared content and processing functionality, the availability of software defined architectures and of possibly dynamic/mobile virtualized network functions, the computational/storage support from both the cloud and edge/fog computing, and the emerging spectrum access techniques. In particular, the explosion of user-generated data and the emergence of cloud-based mobile services are leading to the collection of vast amount of user mobility data as well as network measurement data. In this context, various networking challenges rise such as seamless IP mobility management, need for novel algorithms correlating user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from access networks and user devices, the possibility of offloading computing/storage tasks from mobile hosts to both the cloud and edge nodes, innovative algorithms correlating traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, multi-connectivity technology exploitation for quality of service, extreme reliability in challenged scenarios with network function virtualization, etc. To tackle these hard technical and organizational challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, multi-homing, efficient transport over heterogeneous wireless access options, users’ incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructures, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient and quality-aware mobile multimedia content distribution, information-centric and mobility-aware networking solutions, collection and management of mobile M2M data in a 3-layer infrastructure with edge/fog computing and the cloud, new business models for mobile data, security and privacy, as well as related operational concerns and legal issues.

According to the vision underlying the IoT, the next step in increasing the ubiquity of the Internet, after connecting people anytime and everywhere, is to connect inanimate objects. By providing objects with embedded communication capabilities and a common addressing scheme, a highly distributed and ubiquitous network of seamlessly connected heterogeneous devices is formed, which can be fully integrated into the current Internet and mobile networks, thus allowing for the development of new intelligent services available anytime, anywhere, by anyone and anything. Such a vision is also becoming known under the name of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), where the absence of human interaction in the system dynamics is further emphasized.
