Services for Cloud-to-Thing Computing Continnum

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is aimed to publishing both review and original research articles related to Services for Cloud-to-thing Computing Continuum. In the era of IoT and big data, many resource-constrained devices such as sensors, embedding equipments on vehicular networks, mobile phones will be used to collect data for analysis by using 4G/5G networks. The adventure of cloud computing allows these devices to outsource their data on the Cloud, thus greatly reducing the burden of local storage and computation. The paradigm of Cloud-to-things computing is essentially becoming popular for many modern information systems. Papers on key IoT-enabling technologies related to sensors, vehicular networks, actuators and machine intelligence, development and deployment of IoT tools and platforms to ensure scalability, security, reliability, and efficiency are particular welcome. Potential interesting topics also include vehicular networks and systems, services for real-time and adaptive systems, privacy of exchanged information among vehicles, anonymization of information, Cloud-to-things paradigm, device software development such as minimal operating systems, secure communication of IoT with other software layers from edge computing to the Cloud, best practices for Cloud-to-things development, test beds, and quality assurance.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
