Call for Journal Papers
Special Issue on
*"Current and Future Architectures, Protocols, and
Services for the Internet of Things"*
will be published in _Elsevier Computer Communications_
Scope
The Internet of Things (IoT) started as a research topic more than a
decade ago and evolved towards partial deployment in the last few years.
It describes the integration of magnitudes of smart devices into the
current Internet. Those devices challenge Internet architectures and
protocols. They may exhibit very limited resources making the direct
application of common approaches nearly impractical. On the other hand,
they significantly increase heterogeneity, which complicates the
extension of the status quo.
The Internet of Things has continuously been discussed. Related
compilations of contributions usually miss two important aspects. First,
the analysis of IoT approaches that have been deployed or will be
available soon in the current Internet. Analyzing those solutions may
help to understand relevant aspects of a successful deployment and to
identify common pitfalls while IoT approaches have been designed.
Second, deployed protocols need a careful revisit. In contrast to
well-established Internet protocols and architectures, IoT techniques
are fresh and not fully developed on the same level. In addition, new
network paradigms emerge, which need to be considered for a sustainable
future IoT.
In this special issue we are seeking new and unpublished papers in the
field of architectures, protocols, and services for the IoT with a
special focus on current and future deployment. They should contribute
to at least one of the following aspects. (1) Identifying and solving
open technical problems. (2) Performing thorough evaluation and
comparison of existing proposals or standards. (3) Addressing
integrative aspects towards a full-fledged IoT deployment. (4) Enabling
new services.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Wireless, wired, and hybrid networks
- IETF proposals such as RPL and 6LoWPAN
- Privacy and security
- Interconnection between IP and sensor networks
- Integration of future Internet paradigms such as ICN
- Machine to Machine communications in IoT scenarios
- Energy efficiency in smart object scenarios
- IoT management and interoperability
- Participatory and global sensing
- Performance measurement and tuning, scalability
- Simulation and analytical studies
- Testbed, prototype, and practical systems

Instructions for submission
Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under
review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a
conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension
of the conference paper. Authors are also required to submit their
published conference articles and a summary document explaining the
enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted
through the Computer Communications website at
http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for the manuscript
preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are
correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors
should select "Special Issue: IoT" when they reach the "Article Type"
step in the submission process.
