The new version of the Internet Protocol - IPv6 - has astronomically
increased the IP address space from around 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses to
roughly 340 trillion trillion trillion new IPv6 identifiers.  This
humongous pool of addresses ensure the continued expansion of the
Internet for many decades to come and it realises the vision of everyday
objects that are uniquely identifiable and are connected to the Internet
- this is commonly known as the "Internet-of-Things" (IoT).  

IoT extends the human-centric view of the Internet market space wherein
it was thought that the "world of humans represented a market space that
would reach saturation sometime soon" (Internet Society, 2012); IoT
broadens the device-centric view that predominantly considered computing
and electronic devices (e.g., PCs, mobile phones, home electronics,
smart cars) as the defining elements of the Internet space. 

The IoT paradigm postulates that any physical object that is identified
with a unique identifier (e.g., books tagged with RFID tags, QR codes or
bar codes) will be considered as a smart object that is able to be
interconnected, and billions and trillions of such smart objects will
shape the new Internet space. The smart objects generate data that is
accessible through the Internet and in realisation of this, IoT deals
with integrating and enabling several technologies and communication
protocols including wired and wireless communications, networking,
tracking technologies, localisation, sensors and next generation
Internet.  However, the promising area of IoT also poses several
challenges, for e.g., modelling and implementation issues such as
architectures, interoperability, middleware, and so on.

This CCPE special issue presents the opportunity to showcase recent
research in IoT and it solicits high quality papers in advances of
theoretical, experimental and practical nature. The main topic areas
include, but are not limited to:

*         Internet of Things, Architecture, Components, RFID, Sensors
and Actuator Technologies.

*         The Geography of Things, Location and tracking of objects.

*         Inter-networking and Radio Access Protocols, Technologies,
Near Field Communications.

*         Inter-operability and Inter-cooperative Protocols, Standards
and Technologies.

*         Social Networks for Things, Social Graphs of Things, Link
Analysis, Web of Things, Topic Maps.

*         Ad-Hoc Networks, RF Modelling, Digital Object and Context
Representation and Preservation.

*         Enabling Computational Technologies (Clusters, Grids, P2P,
Cloud, etc).

*         Security, Privacy, Identity, Trust and Reputation Management,
Collective Behaviour and Ethical Issues.

*         Performance, Scalability, Robustness, Reliability
Verification, Validation, Benchmarking.

*         Concepts and/or Frameworks of Applicable Future Technologies,
Implications and Trends.

*         Standards and Reference Models.

*         Review of Literature.

*         Novel applications of IoT.

Important Dates

*         Please submit your full paper to Manuscript Central with the
special issue title "Internet-of-Things". The paper submission deadline
is January 15, 2013.

*         The authors will receive initial decision and reviewer
comments by April 15, 2013.

*         Final papers are due by June 15, 2013.

*         Final decisions by July 15, 2013.

*         Accepted papers are expected to appear online for early view
within 4 months of final decision.
