IoT Services, Applications, Platform, and Protocols

Dear Colleagues,

With the explosive growth of Internet-of-Things (IoT) services in the world, IoT-based services and applications have been developed and deployed in the related industry, which include smart home/appliances, smart farms, smart factories, and smart healthcare. The platform and protocols for IoT services/applications are also becoming the key challenging issues in IoT-related research and engineering for future Internet.  

This Special Issue focuses on the emerging services and applications for IoT and the R&D progresses on platforms and protocols for IoT services and applications. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• New or advanced IoT services and applications;
• Framework or architecture for IoT services and applications;
• Research and experimentation on IoT platforms;
• Performance analysis and enhancement of IoT messaging protocols (e. g., CoAP, MQTT);
• Networking protocols for IoT;
• Recent R&D activities and experimentations on IoT;
• International Standardizations on IoT (IETF, IEEE, 3GPP, OneM2M, OCF, etc.).
