Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 1st International Workshop on the Web of Things for Humans (WOT4H 2020) will be held on 9 June 2020, in Helsinki, Finland. WoT4H is a forum for academics, industrial researchers, developers, and practitioners to discuss challenges and advances in the Internet of Things and Web of Things. This forum will be particularly focused on “The Web of Things for Humans”, improving the interoperability and adaptation of smart devices to Humans. More information about the workshop can be found at the following link: http://wot4h.spilab.es
A selection of papers submitted to WoT4H 2020 will be invited for a possible extension to be published in the journal Computers in the Special Issue “Web of Things for Humans (WoT4H)”. Submitted papers should be extended to the size of regular research or review articles, with at least a 50% extension of new results. All submitted papers will undergo the standard peer-review procedure of the journal. Accepted papers will be published in open-access format in Computers and collected together in this Special Issue website. There are no page limitations for this journal.
