ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal
Special Issue on Smart Object Applications and Management  

In the context of Future Networks, the term smart objects is used to 
refer to commonplace devices, such as sensors and actuators, which are 
enhanced with computational intelligence as well as with additional 
capabilities, such as the ability to communicate and/or work with other 
systems or  services. Smart objects are essential elements of 
cyber-physical systems, and are essential elements of multi-faceted 
applications in diverse fields such as logistics, smart buildings, 
intelligent transportation, and smart city applications and services. In 
particular, smart objects play a foundational role in the up-and-coming 
R&D area of smart cities, which aims at fostering sustainable urban 
development through the ubiquitous interweaving of real-world 
infrastructure with online and city services.

The MONET special issue on Smart Object Applications and Management will 
look into the possibilities that smart objects bring about for various 
types of networks, including wired, wireless, and cellular, and how new 
services and applications can be deployed and managed with them. Smart 
objects incorporate monitoring as well as control functions, and need to 
communicate with each other (or other systems) and with gateways. In 
many cases, communication is based on wireless sensor networks 
integrated with an object, such as parts of a building, logistic goods, 
vehicles or environmental sensors and actuators. In other cases, 
communication is based on a hybrid approach, where part of the network 
is infrastructure-based, while the rest has a varying, self-organizing 
topology.

We invite authors to submit papers reporting original, previously 
unpublished research which addresses this new area. The solutions 
proposed could follow either evolutionary approaches based on current 
IP-centered architectures, or introduce revolutionary designs and new 
paradigms. Experimental/testbed and empirical studies as well as 
implementation/industry results (including field trials) are 
particularly welcome.  Topics of particular interest include:

* Future Internet Architectures based on, or incorporating, smart 
objects and applications
* Service and application platforms for developing, deploying, and 
managing smart objects
* Virtualized infrastructures for networks that use smart objects
* Security aspects of smart object networks and deployments
* Network operation and management for smart city objects and services
* Autonomic network monitoring and management for networks that use 
smart objects
* Knowledge management for systems that use smart objects
* New behavioral paradigms enabled by incorporating smart objects
* Energy-efficient, self-organized access and routing schemes for smart 
object systems
* Experimental platforms for smart cities
* Testbeds and experimental evaluation of services based on smart objects
* Performance evaluation of large-scale systems that use smart objects
* Standards and enabling technologies for applications and services that 
use smart objects
