Dear Friends,
   This is a reminder that the deadline for the Special Issue is approach 
-- It is due on May 15th. 


'Smarter Planet' is a generic term referring to intelligent distributed 
computing environments which leverage information technology and networks 
to create new capabilities and provide more intelligent way to perform 
common functions in the society. Examples of such smarter planet systems 
include systems that create smarter water management, intelligent 
utilities, smarter transportation, and intelligent resource sharing across 
different groups and organizations. In general, smarter planet systems are 
built using instrumentation data collected from ubiquitous sensor 
deployments, retrieving sensor data using intelligent techniques for data 
collection and then applying data analytics and artificial intelligence to 
create an intelligent end-to-end system. Over the last couple of years, 
several smarter planet systems have been built and deployed at different 
locations across the world.
The overall architecture of any smarter planet system can be divided into 
three broad areas of instrumentation, interconnection, and intelligence. 
Instrumentation consists of deploying sensors and collecting information 
efficiently from the deployed sensors. Interconnection consists of 
designing different types of networks that can obtain information rapidly 
and efficiently under resource constrained environments. Intelligence 
refers to algorithms for control, analysis and guidance to be provided 
from the collected information. The common underlying principles behind 
interconnection, instrumentation and intelligence constitute the science 
for smarter planet. The science of smarter planet is a multi-disciplinary 
research area that spans fields such as sampling theory, sensor 
management, communications networks, network sciences, data mining, 
artificial intelligence and control theory.
Although each smarter planet system has some unique aspects, there are 
many common principles and ideas that can be leveraged across established 
and new smarter planet systems. The sharing of approaches, algorithms, 
architectural models and insights gained from deployed Systems would spur 
the creation of new smarter planet Systems among the technical community.
In view of this, this special issue aims to seek original research papers 
and review articles and expects to enhance the state-of-the-art in 
instrumentation, interconnection and intelligence required for solving the 
various problems and challenges in designing a smarter planet system.
