Cloud Computing and Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays cost efficient distributed sensing and actuation devices are driving new economically relevant application scenarios and the notion of internet of things. These heterogeneous devices connect and interact with the cloud for massive data storage and scalable computation.

This special issue, intends to put together efforts done in both cloud computing and internet of things with the aim of adding value to practical applications for any institutions. In this respect we welcome contributions that are willing to share technologies, policies or heuristic from either a theoretical or a practical point of view.

Future Internet solicits original, high impact research papers on all topics related to the combination of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things – topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Cloud Computing
• Internet of Things
• Industry 4.0
• Block-chain for Cloud computing and IoT
• Architectures and Models
• Integration and Collaborations
• Network Protocols, Network Design and Architectures
• Software systems
• Data processing and management
• Context-aware service provisioning
• Security, trust and privacy
• Fault tolerance and reliability
• Performance evaluation and modelling
• Policies, Business models and standard
• Service Level Agreements
