SCOPE ----- In recent years, Internet has become increasingly ubiquitous. Besides allowing people to connect anytime and everywhere, the Internet is evolving into the communication medium for objects that are embedded in the physical world. The coupling between such objects and a worldwide standard-based communication infrastructure constitutes the Internet of Things (IoT) and is characterized by machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. The IoT enables a detailed characterization of the physical environment, as well as a rich set of interactions with the physical world. As such, the IoT has the potential to revolutionize pervasive computing and its applications. Indeed, the realization of a ubiquitous IoT poses several challenges about seamless integration, heterogeneity, scalability, mobility, and many others.

This special issue solicits high-quality papers presenting original research results on the IoT that are tightly related to pervasive and ubiquitous scenarios. Submissions could consist of theoretical and applied research in topics including, but not limited to:

* System architectures for the IoT targeted to pervasive scenarios * Adaptive and autonomic computing in the IoT * Middleware and service platforms for ubiquitous IoT applications * Security and privacy in pervasive IoT scenarios * Ubiquitous computing solutions exploiting the M2M paradigm * Context awareness in the IoT * Mobility management in the IoT and in M2M communications * Experiences in building ubiquitous IoT platforms * Pervasive applications built on top of the IoT * Enabling technologies and standards for the IoT and M2M communications * Sustainable design and solutions for the IoT

All submissions must be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published by the Pervasive and Mobile Computing journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pmc). Authors should select the SI: Internet of Things, from the pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more conference papers that appeared elsewhere must have major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 30% new material). In this case, authors are requested to submit their relevant previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.

IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submission deadline: November 15, 2013 First notification to authors: February 28, 2014 Final notification to authors: May 30, 2014

GUEST EDITORS ------------- Dr. Mario Di Francesco, Aalto University (mario.di.francesco@aalto.fi) Prof. Jian-nong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University (csjcao@comp.polyu.edu.hk) Prof. Enzo Mingozzi, University of Pisa (e.mingozzi@iet.unipi.it)
