Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) is maturing very rapidly, and is making its presence known in almost every field of technology. The IoT has the ability to provide the features for a huge number of connected devices and handle the massive amount of data generated by connected devices. The big question is, can IoT-connected devices manage these data efficiently, securely, and economically? Current IoT communication and data management schemes use cloud computing infrastructure, which is a centralized system and needs high-end servers and high-speed networks. Existing systems have several issues, such as high maintenance costs, security, trust, and third-party involvement. Therefore, it is a big opportunity for research communities to solve these problems.

Currently, blockchain technology is getting a great deal of attention from not only the Fintech, but also from other technology fields. Blockchain technology has the ability to revolutionize and optimize any infrastructure of technologies connected through the internet. Recently, blockchain technology has been perceived as a promising technique to solve the problems of and design new decentralized infrastructure frameworks for the IoT. To date, there is no consensus towards any schemes, smart contracts, data management techniques, or crypto methods for IoT infrastructure. The implementation of blockchain technology in IoT is still a big research challenge.

This Special Issue invites original research that investigates blockchain technology (data management, smart contracts, cryptography, consensus) for IoT. For example—key review theories, new algorithms, protocols, architectures, and solutions for remarkable applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to the list given below:

  • blockchain technology for decentralized IoT
  • distributed consensus algorithms for resource constraint in IoT infrastructure
  • smart contracts for IoT devices
  • ledger for IoT devices, generated for data management
  • security of blockchain for IoT
  • evaluation of blockchain-implemented IoT.
  • blockchain technology for IoT infrastructure
  • applications of IoT based on blockchain technology
  • blockchain technology for intelligent communications environment for IoT devices
  • lightweight blockchain technology for IoT
  • blockchain technology for intelligent vehicles
  • blockchain technology for healthcare systems
  • blockchain technology for industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) (Industry 4.0)

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. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
