Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the ‘Internet of Things’ Section is currently compiling a collection of papers submitted by Editorial Board Members (EBMs) and outstanding scholars in the field.
We welcome original papers and review articles that present theoretical and applicative advances, new experimental discoveries, and novel technological improvements regarding the Internet of Things. We hope that this collection will garner a huge readership and prove highly influential within the field. All papers in this Special Issue will be collated into a printed book after the deadline and be promoted.
We would also like to take this opportunity to invite more scholars to join the ‘Internet of Things’ Section so that we can work together to develop this exciting field of research.
