Call For Papers - CFP

Coined as an enabler for computers to perceive the world without relying on humans for data input, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm evolved full circle to aim at enriching our perception of the reality, encompassing new technologies and application fields along the way.

Data is central to the IoT paradigm: from primary sensor data, directly related to the physical world, to processed data that adds new meanings to our view of the world. Many challenges arise as the IoT permeates our world, especially for low-power resource-constrained devices, such as data integrity, proper processing and security, energy requirements, energy cost and harvesting, device cost, lifetime and quality of service, deployment and maintenance cost.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together innovative developments in areas related to data-centric IoT, including but not limited to:

* data sensing (transducers, reliability, cost, energy)

* data processing (on nodes, distributed, aggregation, discovery, big data)

* making sense of the data, self-learning (pattern discovery, prediction, self-configuration)

* data integrity (sensing accuracy and noise resilience, storage, transfer, efficient checking, tampering detection)

* applications (both new and legacy ones enjoying a new life)

* high-level methods and tools for application design

* maintenance (troubleshooting, recurrent costs)

* cost (nodes, energy, design, deployment, maintenance)

* deployment (effort, error prevention, localization)

* energy (reliability, management)

We solicit both review and original research manuscripts, especially related to challenging aspects of the IoT. Of particular interest are the advances towards overcoming the IoT adoption barriers and large scale deployment.
