About Future Internet

Aims

Future Internet (ISSN 1999-5903) is a scholarly open access journal which provides an advanced forum for science and research concerned with evolution of Internet technologies and related smart systems for “Net-Living” development. The general reference subject is therefore the evolution towards the future internet ecosystem, which is feeding a continuous, intensive, artificial transformation of the lived environment, for a widespread and significant improvement of well-being in all spheres of human life (private, public, professional).

Results of interdisciplinary research are particularly welcome, since mutual connections and feedback within and among the stated macro-areas are increasingly required for an effective systematic diffuse enhancement of quality of life through Net-Living.
