Call for Papers: IEEE Internet Computing Special Issue  
             -  Building Internet of Things Software - 
       http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/iccfp2 



As we equip people, places, and commodities with Internet-connected 
embedded devices that can sense information about the environment and 
subsequently take action, we will create the Internet of Things 
(IoT). The IoT will improve society and quality of life, but making 
this vision a reality requires interdisciplinary efforts in a range of 
scientific domains. Specifically, enabling the design, implementation, 
validation, and real-world use of IoT software requires that we 
embrace diverse contributions in coherent and practical development 
frameworks, possibly based on current and future standards. 

This special issue seeks contributions about recent or ongoing 
research efforts, experience reports, and success stories in enabling 
an effective development of IoT software out of the individual 
building blocks available in different communities. Topics of interest 
include: 

- design and modeling approaches and methodologies for IoT software; 
- programming abstractions and languages expressly conceived for the IoT; 
- development techniques for IoT software appropriate for different hardware; 
- platforms, from tiny sensors to the enterprise level; 
- approaches for composing and interoperating existing IoT functionality; 
- cross-layer IoT software architectures; 
- standards for developing IoT software; and 
- real-world deployments and experiences in building IoT systems. 


Submission Guidelines: 

All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than
5,000 
words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All 
manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and 
relevance to IEEE Internet Computing international readership: 
primarily practicing engineers and academics who are looking for 
material that introduces new technology and broadens familiarity with 
current topics. We do not accept white papers, and we discourage 
strictly theoretical or mathematical papers.  

To submit a manuscript, please log on to ScholarOne
