Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit contributions to the Special Issue on “Human Computer Communications and the Internet of Things”.

With successful development of light-weight handheld devices and the deployment of wireless (cellular and Wi-Fi) networks in the past few decades, we have seen growing numbers of smart devices/things connected to the Internet, leading to the Internet of Things (IoT). However, human computer interaction in the Internet of Things era is in its early stages.

Our aim is to promote the development of human computer interaction in the Internet of Things era by creating intelligent frameworks, protocols and algorithms. The proposed Special Issue will serve as a forum for researchers from academia, government and industries to exchange ideas and present new results and provide future visions on human computer interaction in the Internet of Things. 

For this Special Issue, we will consider manuscripts across a broad area, concerning such topics, but not limited to:

  • Information Visualization
  • Big data analytics
  • Privacy and Security Challenges
  • Smart Interactions for Smart Things
  • HCI for IoT enabled systems
  • HCI for Cyber Physical Systems
  • Human in the loop
  • Internet of Battlefield Things.
  • Testbed, use cases and standardization

Prof. Danda B. Rawat
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Multimodal Technologies and Interaction is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Research problem: The paper identifies the need to support powerful metaphors that capture innovations of new emerging human computer interaction (HCI) technologies and innovative question and answering (Q&A) systems in the context of spatial learning and inquiry-based learning in education. Aim/goals of the research: Explore the potential of ‘Wunderkammer’ (curiosity cabinet) as a powerful metaphor to design new types of learning experiences catering for an ecology of artefacts (real of virtual objects) to provide a holistic context for educators to share and extend learning in action. Conclusions: We provide insight into the emergence of smart interactive objects with different types of sensors that can potentially support everyday life and the increasing access to new visual experiences through augment reality and virtual reality, for new types of tangible knowledge building that can be personalised and shared. This reshaping of human centred design and creating new experiences through tangible creations that externalize in real time and through new materials, the creative power of the ‘imaginations of movement’ provides new user experience design thinking through the concept of powerful metaphors, to provide core design requirements where the blending of worlds is common place.
