Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Internet of Things (IoT) systems are typically resource-constrained, networked, embedded systems that extend the reach of IP communication into the physical world, to billions of resource-constrained endpoints that are called ‘Things’. Things organize themselves into Internet-enabled networks and cooperate to realize a complex task. On top of their own resource limitations, Things are connected into resource-constrained access networks, with low power, lossy, low bitrate asymmetric links and limited group communication primitives.
The rise of the IoT as a technology is also timely and complementary to the realization of ubiquitous smart interaction of humans with networked embedded systems in “intelligent environments”, also known as “smart spaces”, which can do complex tasks for humans, e.g., as in intelligent lighting, smart homes, smart cities, smart buildings, smart healthcare, intelligent transportation systems, and Industry 4.0. Existing implementations of such intelligent IoT systems, however, are mainly limited to the scope of specific application silos, and technology experts play a significant part in the whole process. IoT networks are complex by nature due to distributed services on many heterogeneous devices collaboratively fulfilling common goals defined by applications. Therefore, it is crucial for society that (intelligent) IoT systems and the processes on them be well-understood, easily controlled, and optimized. Unfortunately, most of the current guidelines, architecture designs, protocols, and algorithms for IoT systems are limited in scope.
This must be addressed by building up theory and knowledge on IoT lifecycles (i.e., the series of stages IoT devices, services, and applications go through, from inception to decline) and by testing them in real settings. The objective of this Special Issue is to bring visibility to ongoing studies in the development of IoT systems (lifecycle management, architectures, protocols) and IoT intelligence (algorithms specifically tailored to and deployable on IoT systems). Researchers who are active in this field are invited to submit their manuscripts to this Special Issue.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
