Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a reality, with billions of devices able to send key information about the physical world and implementing simple actions, which leads to the paradigm of the anytime and anyplace connectivity for anything. The IoT encompasses into the Internet a large number of heterogeneous and pervasive objects, from simple sensors to smartphones: the massive amount of data flowing through the IoT has pushed forward the development of new applications in several domains, such as cars that communicate with the municipality about the status of a smart city, smartphones that share anonymous medical information to prevent epidemics and pandemics, e-health, and the smart building, just to cite a few.
Such future IoT applications are likely developed making use of a service-oriented architecture where each device can play the role of a service provider or a service requester, or both. IoT is moving toward a model where things look for other things to provide composite services for the benefit of human beings (object–object interaction). With such an interaction model, involving different devices, networking standards, and data management strategies, it is essential to understand how the information provided by each object can be processed automatically by any other peer in the system. This clearly cannot disregard the level of trustworthiness of the object providing information and services.
This Special Issue aims at bringing researchers from both academia and industry together to disseminate their recent advances related to the challenges and solutions in building trustful IoT.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Trust management in IoT;
- Modeling and simulation scenario of trustful IoT systems;
- Detection, evaluation, and prevention of trust attacks in IoT application;
- Trusted IoT application;
- Trust management method and technology for social IoT;
- Trusted architectures, algorithms, and protocols for IoT;
- Definition and assessment of trust level for IoT
- Interaction design for IoT;
- Real case studies of trust management in the IoT.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
