ACM Transactions on Internet Technology /Special issue on Evolution of IoT Networking Architectures/ Guest Editors Rute C. Sofia (mailto:[email protected]), COPELABS, University Lusofona Eve M. Schooler (mailto:[email protected]), Intel Chris Winkler (mailto:[email protected]), Siemens AG Dirk Kutscher (mailto:[email protected]), University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To support the sheer number of entities connecting to the /Internet of Things (IoT)/, emerging IoT networks must support the stewardship of large amounts of data, in-network and in-flight computation/AI, distributed storage, and rich queries. While today's IoT uses standard IP-based messaging, its shortcomings have led to proposed extensions for constrained environment operation, publish-subscribe middleware, data-centric routing, among other technologies. This special issue aims to present the most leading-edge research on: * *Next-generation IoT network architecture & protocols*, including improved support for QoS/QoE, increased mobility, streaming media, and integrated security; a path from client/server centralized models to a fully distributed comms architecture; edge data producer disruption. * *Cross-layer design*, enabling real-time & near-real-time data delivery and synchronization; support for efficient multi-party communication; collective behaviors (e.g., crowd sensing, crowdsourcing, resource federation); impacting low-power design; the wireless & mobile edge. * *Novel approaches to Edge networking for IoT*, such as distribution & orchestration of network functions to best support data processing and aggregation; seamless interoperation of static and mobile edge infrastructure & devices; resilience and dynamic adaptation; data caching and migration; autonomous operation vs opportunistic connectivity; the proliferation and peering of "edges". * *IoT communication interoperability*, such as proposals to articulate in a distributed and self-organizing way communication between different communication protocols; support for a large variety of heterogeneous and constrained devices; discovery & directory services * *Network measurement & performance*, to assist in understanding, exposing and comparing the performance of current IoT resources, infrastructure and protocols in a variety of scenarios, including industrial & consumer IoT. * *IoT Privacy, security and trust challenges*, including data security, user privacy, distributed trust models, attestation, privacy- and policy-preservation, encrypted search, access control and policy management. *Submission* Refer to: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/toit Please select "Special Issue on Evolution of IoT Networking Architectures" in the TOIT Manuscript Central Website *Deadlines* Submissions: June 30, 2019 First decisions: October 15, 2019 Revisions: November 11, 2019 Final decisions: January 31, 2020 Final (Camera-ready): February 29, 2020 Publication: May 2020 *ACM TOIT Editor-in-Chief* Professor Ling Liu (mailto:[email protected]) Department of Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology ------------------------------------------------------------------------
