Call for Papers Special Issue of Elsevier Computer Communications on the Internet of Things: Research challenges and Solutions
=============================================================================
Scope -----
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to an emerging paradigm that seamlessly integrates a large number of smart objects with the Internet interlinking the physical and the cyber worlds and keeping them in a tight and continuous interaction. The envisioned paradigm will need to address significant complexity. On the one hand, billions of smart objects will be immersed in the environment, sensing, interacting, and cooperating with each other to enable efficient services that will bring tangible benefits to the environment, the economy and the society as a whole. On the other hand, they will be extremely diverse and heterogeneous in terms of resource capabilities, lifespan and communication technologies, further complicating the scenario. As a result, new problems and challenges arise spanning different areas: architecture, communication, addressing, discovery, data and network management, power and energy storage, security and privacy, to cite a few. Classic Internet approaches are not sufficient to solve these unprecedented issues, and need to be revised to address the complex requirements imposed by IoT. This paves the way for the development of intelligent algorithms, novel network paradigms and new services.
The objective of this special issue is to seek high-quality and unpublished papers that push the research in all the facets of IoT. Contributions may present and solve open technical problems, integrate novel solutions efficiently, and focus on the performance evaluation and comparison with existing standards. Theoretical as well as experimental studies for typical IoT use cases (e.g., smart city, smart home/building, smart grid, transportation, eHealth/mHealth) are encouraged. High-quality review and survey papers are welcomed.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: o Cyber-physical and other IoT systems architectures o Network architecture and system design in IoT o Addressing and naming in IoT o Programming models for the IoT o IoT and Cloud computing o Integration with existing standards and protocols (e.g., RPL, 6LoWPAN, CoAP, MQTT) o Data management in IoT o Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in IoT o Energy efficient management and sustainable operation of IoT/M2M objects o Information centric network for IoT o Social networks for IoT o Context-awareness for IoT o IoT traffic characterization o Privacy, Security and Trust for IoT o Modeling and simulation of large-scale IoT scenarios o Testbed, prototype, and practical systems for IoT use cases
Schedule --------
o Title and abstract due date (by email to comcomsi_iot at iit.cnr.it): June 1, 2015 o Full paper submission deadline: June 15, 2015 o First author notification: October 15, 2015 o Revised paper due: December 15, 2015 o Final author notification: January 31, 2016 o Expected publication: Summer 2016
Guest Editors -------------
Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Danielo G. Gomes, Universidade Federal do Ceara', Brazil Brent Lagesse, University of Washington, USA Rodger Lea, University of British Columbia, Canada Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland
Instructions for submission ---------------------------
Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper, with at least 30% of novel contributions. Authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.
Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript preparation can also be found (see http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-communications/0140-3664/guide-for...). To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: IoT Challenges" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.
