Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has changed traditional living into a high-tech lifestyle. Pervasive environments that interconnect many heterogeneous physical objects (or things) to enhance the efficiency of everyday tasks are becoming common in an increasing number of fields of application. However, there are still many open challenges and obstacles that need to be addressed to achieve the full potential of the IoT. These challenges and combined issues must be considered from various aspects of IoT, such as applications, challenges, enabling technologies, or social and environmental impacts.
With this Special Issue, it is intended to bring together researchers and professionals to discuss a collection of ideas on the advancements in technology, application areas, or social and environmental impacts that the IoT currently faces, and to state possible future challenges and directions of research.
