As an increasing number of people communicate and collaborate over the
Internet, via different accessing systems and mobile devices, the need
for new wireless networks infrastructures, facilitating ubiquitous
availability and efficient access to large quantities of distributed
resources, has become manifest. The integration of resources
availability through the 3As (Anywhere, Anything, Anytime) will become a
reality, through the 5G mobile technologies. Notwithstanding, there are
a lot of challenges to meet, in order to have the 5G mobile technologies
applicable in an efficiently utilized manner. The most complicated and
at the same time challenging paradigm is the Internet of Things (IoT)
that poses a fertile ground and a hot Research and Development (R&D)
area for Pervasive and Ubiquitous computing, being projected as a future
growth area in both academia and industry. In this context, this book
aims atpresentingthe current state-of-the-art research and future trends
on various aspects of IoT in 5G mobile technologies. It will combine the
emerging mobile communications and IoT paradigms, in a common research
ground, in order to present various research concepts. The major
subjects of the book will cover methodologies, modeling, analysis and
newly introduced mobile technologies.
Topics of interest include but are /_not limited_/ to:
•Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Data Processing and Controlling Networking at
the Edge (Sensing and sensor signal processing, sensor networking
protocols, energy harvesting and energy management);
•Middleware (System and network architectures, middleware for
heterogeneous sensors, devices & protocols, QoS provisioning, security
issues [data confidentiality, integrity, network resilience, etc.]);
•Applications and case studies of M2M communications and IoT ecosystems;
•Analytics and management (Data management and analytics: data-stream,
sharing, mining etc, business intelligence from sensor data, social
network analysis in IoT)
•M2M Infrastructure (Big Data Storage and processing, management and
analysis, back-end (cloud based) infrastructure, distributed processing);
•Related applications (Novel application developments and case studies
in energy, healthcare, logistics and transportation, manufacturing etc.,
test-beds and field trials etc.);
•IoT/MP2M/M2M/D2D Management (Device management evolutions,
self-coordinated and autonomous management, service harmonization etc.);
•Security in Smart Grids and Smart Spaces for smooth IoT deployment in 5G
•Advanced indexing, naming, and addressing of the IoT in 5G;
•Network-distributed signal processing for security solutions in 5G
(joint security and privacy aware protocol design, Test-bed and
performance metrics of security solutions in IoT, Deployment and
performance evaluation of secure IoT in 5G, Architectures for secure
hardware/software IoT systems etc.);
•Network control systems for IoT applications;
•Inter-networking with other technologies and systems (Network Functions
Virtualization (NFV) and Cloud Computing as well Mobile Cloud Computing
implementation/wearable devices in IoT using 5G etc.);
•Next generation of open platforms and novel hardware for the IoT in 5G
access technology, Network middleware and protocols to facilitate Smart
environments, Innovative sensing devices and innovative uses of existing
sensors (e.g. RFID), use of mobile, wireless, visual, and multi-modal
sensor networks in intelligent systems;
•Smart Devices and their inter-communication with other devices/spaces
(ie. smart glasses’ communication with smart watch and/or smart wearable
devices, Grid and Cloud-oriented devices etc.) including open interfaces
and close environments;
•Management of smart services (discovery, publishing) in IoT ecosystems
(smart shopping, house, factory, etc.);
•Interconnection of IoT with social network environments (Multimedia
transmission, Big data transfer);
•Performance and scalability issues of IoT ecosystems.
/We strongly welcome _other topic suggestions,_ dealing with//IoT in
emerging mobile computing environments./
