The future development of cloud computing systems is more and more
influenced by Big Data and IoT. There are research and industrial works
showing applications, services, experiments and simulations in the Cloud
that support the cases related to IoT, Big Data and Security. Cloud
users and cloud service providers face a variety of new challenges like
encrypted data search, share, auditing, key management security and
privacy. There is also a need for protocols that facilitate big data
streaming from IoT to the cloud and QoS.
 
This special issue encourages submissions related to all aspects of IoT,
Big Data and Cloud Computing. In particular, it aims to examine the
prospects and challenges that arise in conjunction with the trending
topic in the field of Internet of Things and Big Data which are
essential to comply with the necessities of modern cloud applications.
Promoting the submission of the ongoing work with the existing important
theoretical and practical results, along with position papers and case
studies of already present verification projects, this special issue
will highlight the art in this domain. As one of the goals, this special
issue intends to convene researchers and practitioners to review the
diverse range of features of security, privacy, trust and reliability in
IoT and Cloud. It also examines significant theories, scrutinies
technology enablers, formulates significant application and devise new
methods to overcome the major problems that this research area poses.

The objective of this special issue is to capture the latest advances in
research topics that include but are not limited to: 

  * Big Data and IoT on the Cloud
  * IoT Services and Applications
  * Security, Privacy and Trust in IoTSensor Networks
  * Remote Diagnosis and Development
  * Data Analysis and Visualization for IoT
  * Performance Evaluation and Modeling for IoT
  * Networking and Communication Protocols for IoT

*Submission Guidelines*

Paper submissions for the special issue should follow the submission
format and guidelines for regular Elsevier Journal of Future Generation
Computer Systems at http://ees.elsevier.com/fgcs/. All the papers will
be peer-reviewed following the FGCS reviewing procedures. Guest editors
will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all
submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in
presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be
sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases.
Authors should select “*SI:**Emerging Trends, Issues and Challenges in
Internet of Things, Big Data and Cloud Computing*” when they reach the
“Article Type” step in the submission process. Top conference papers
from SC2-2016 (http://grid.chu.edu.tw/sc2-2016) and IoTDBS 2017
(http://www.iotbds.org) will be invited for extended and enhanced
version for this special issue.  Extended conference contributions must
have *at least 50%* difference from the original works (the authors must
indicate the conference name and make the reference to the base
conference paper).
