Smart Monitoring and Control in the Future Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues

The Internet of Things (IoT) and related technologies have the promise of realizing pervasive and smart applications which, in turn, have the potential of improving the quality of life of people living in a connected world. According to the IoT vision, all the things can cooperate among them and can be managed from anywhere via the Internet, to allow tight integration between physical and cyber worlds, thus improving efficiency, promoting usability, and opening up new application opportunities. Nowadays, IoT technologies are successfully exploited in several domains providing both social and economic benefits. The realization of the full potential of the next generation of the Internet of Things still needs further research efforts concerning, for instance: the identification of new architectures, methodologies, and infrastructures dealing with distributed and decentralized IoT systems; the integration of the IoT with cognitive and social capabilities; the enhancement of the sensing–analysis–control cycle; the integration of consciousness and awareness in IoT environments; and the design of new algorithms and techniques for managing IoT big data.

This Special Issue aims at covering state-of-the-art and advancements in technologies, methodologies and applications for IoT, together with emerging standards and research topics which would lead to realization of the Future Internet of Things.
