CFP: IEEE Internet of Things Journal Special Issue on Towards Positioning, Navigation, and Location Based Services (PNLBS) for Internet of Things
2016 Impact Factor: 7.596
Scope and Objective
In the past decade, technological advancements have facilitated the manufacturing of compact, inexpensive, and low-power consuming receivers and sensors for smart devices (e.g., GPS, WiFi, MEMS sensors, RFID, UWB, BLE, etc.). This arises the fast development of Positioning, Navigation and Location Based Services (PNLBS), and leads them become much broader than just providing a location or navigation.
These positioning technologies and their enabling integrated systems have been promoted into the IoT world such as asset tracking, autonomous parking, virtual reality, context awareness, condition monitoring, geolocation, smart manufacturing, as well as smart cities. In fact, PNLBS have become indispensable to the future of IoT. On the other hand, IoT systems create limitless possibilities for PNLBS, due to their sophisticated cloud computing technologies, powerful big data analysis, and embedded multi-sensors.
The aim of IoT architectures for provisioning of PNLBS is to design an accurate, low-cost, low-power, reliable, and scalable solution for cutting-edge applications. To achieve this goal, several challenges should be addressed, such as improving positioning accuracy, reducing the power cost, handling to track millions of devices as well as transmitting and processing big data. Therefore, the research is required to conduct on not only PNLBS algorithms, but also new IoT architectures and chip design technologies. Extensive research efforts have been paid either on PNLBS algorithms, or IoT architectures and chip design. However, research efforts on their combination remain open and require further investigations, such as how to accurately track millions of devices by consuming low power, how to use IoT technique (e.g., crowdsourcing) to automatically generate wireless fingerprinting database for positioning, how to design low-power positioning chip/system suitable for IoT architectures, etc.
The goal of this Special Issue is to solicit the latest unpublished work on PNLBS for IoT. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Scalable IoT architectures for asset tracking Geo-centric cloud/edge computing in IoT Security and privacy in PNLBS Low-power chip/system design for positioning in IoT Crowdsourcing for positioning in IoT Machine learning for location estimation in IoT Multi-sensors fusion for IoT Wireless localization technologies (WiFi, BLE, RFID, UWB, etc.) in IoT MEMS sensors for localization and context awareness in IoT Advanced estimation theories for positioning in IoT Control and navigation technologies for autonomous system (e.g., UAV, driverless vehicle, etc.) in IoT Location based services for smart city (e.g., ehealth, smart home, smart transportation, etc.) applications in IoT
