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). <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.
