Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been playing an increasing role in all aspects of society, including smart cities, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture and transportation, to name a few. The rapid evolution of IoT has been characterized by increased automation, with the growth of autonomic IoT applications that involve sensing, data collection, decision-making and actuation without human involvement. Such automation, coupled with privacy and security concerns, has led to fears of the potential risks of IoT to society. However, IoT possesses the immense capacity to positively impact society. This Special Issue invites high-quality unpublished contributions on recent advances in IoT systems and applications and the socio-technical aspects of such systems in the real world. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- security, privacy and safety in the IoT;
- decentralization of IoT and decision provenance;
- IoT applications for societal welfare;
- accountability of IoT systems;
- societal and business digital transformation through IoT.
