FEATURE TOPIC
PEOPLE-CENTRIC INTERNET OF THINGS
CALL FOR PAPERS
Internet of Things (IoT) is designed to operate in conjunction with and in
service of people. Therefore, people can be viewed as an integral part of
the IoT ecosystem. Although considerable work has been done in the recent
past regarding IoT, many challenges have remained. In fact, most
technologies and solutions for accessing real-world information are either
closed, platform-specific, or application-specific. Recent efforts to
define IoT reference architectures, such as IoT-A, OpenIoT, SENSEI, or
FI-WARE, are important steps in the right direction, but they still lack
features that are important for people-centric applications, such as
adaptability, intuitiveness, and integration capabilities. So, on one hand,
there is need to define an IoT architecture that goes beyond vertical
solutions by integrating all required technologies and components into a
common, open and multi-application platform. On the other hand, there is
need to develop a set of common building blocks, middleware and services
that can be used to construct people-oriented applications in an open,
dynamic and more effective way into smart environments including but not
restricted to smart cities, businesses, education and e-health.
This Feature Topic solicits technical papers describing original,
previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another
conference or journal, pertaining to People-Centric Internet of Things,
including architectural aspects, middleware, and applications. It provides
a forum for a broad range of unsolicited high quality scientific research
papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and
topic relevance.
Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to topics under
consideration in this special issue. Contributions describing an overall
working system and reporting real world deployment experiences are
particularly of interest.
This Feature Topic will focus on several topics such as:
- People-IoT Interactions
- Social Network Applications to Mobile Computing
- Context-Aware Applications and Services
- Human in the Loop
- Big Data Analysis in People-centric IoT
- Cloud-based People-centric IoT Applications and Environments
- Security and Privacy
- Prototypes, Field Experiments, Testbeds
SUBMISSIONS
Articles should be tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible
to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the
IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the
manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found
athttp://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines . It is very
important to note that the IEEE Communications Magazine strongly limits
mathematical content, and the combined number of figures and tables to six.
Manuscript length (introduction through conclusions, excluding figures,
tables and captions) should not exceed 4,500 words. Manuscripts should be
submitted through Manuscript Central at
http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/ by the manuscript submission
deadline. Please select “February 2017 / People-Centric IoT” in the drop
down menu. For further details, please refer to 'Information for Authors'
on the IEEE Communications Magazine web site at
http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html.
