IEEE Pervasive Computing
IoT Communications – Call for Papers
Submission deadline: 30 March 2018
Publication date: January-March 2019
——————————————————

We are in the midst of a technological transformation, where devices in the
physical world at all scales and in all application domains are becoming
smarter and more connected. Such an Internet of Things (IoT) promises to
improve efficiency in transportation, power grids, buildings, retail,
manufacturing, and agriculture, creating new opportunities in homes, the
environment, healthcare, and
q smart cities. At the heart of IoT lies communications between the devices
themselves and with the Internet, enabling the collection, exchange, and
analysis of data to produce useful information and knowledge. IoT
communications has many challenges and encompasses a multitude of design
considerations, including the diversity of devices, energy and power
constraints, communication rates, distances, noise, interference,
latencies, timeliness, and many other factors.

This special issue aims to explore new technologies, systems,
methodologies, and applications that relate to all aspects of IoT
communications and systems. We encourage contributions from diverse fields
such as smart cities, human-computer interaction, distributed systems,
architecture, manufacturing, automation, smart grids, cyber-physical
systems, ubiquitous computing, wearable computing, environmental
monitoring, and wireless health.

Relevant topics for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the
following:

        • novel wireless and wired technologies,
        • IoT communication protocols and standards,
        • real-time issues in IoT communications,
        • security and privacy in IoT communications,
        • machine-to-machine (M2M) communications,
        • architecture and composition,
        • RFID systems,
        • wearable systems,
        • communications of urban IoT systems, and
        • applications of IoT systems, including smart buildings, cities,
grids, and health.
