*Journal of Universal Computer Science (JUCS)*

*Special Issue on Internet of Things*

*INTRODUCTION*

*Journal of Universal Computer Science (JUCS)* is seeking original
manuscripts for special issue on Internet of Things (IoT), scheduled to be
published in the June of 2012. Significant advances have been achieved over
the past two decades in the area of distributed computing, handheld devices,
embedded systems, RFID, wireless sensor networks, and Internet-connection of
large-scale thing networks. These advances provide IoT -- a new computing
paradigm to extend the Internet into the physical world by integrating
everyday things with pervasive connectivity and accessibility of the
Internet. IoT allows everyday things to be managed remotely and acted as
access points to Internet services, thus facilitating people daily life.
Research in IoT promises to transform our real world with systems that will
far exceed those of today in terms of adaptability, efficiency, reliability,
usability and user-centric applicability.

IoT systems find direct applicability in a wide range of areas and
disciplines, consisting of for instance: a) *Wireless and mobile sensing,
tracking and networking*: enabling distributed systems of numerous sensors,
actuators, mobile devices and RFIDs to identify and manage things and
satisfy application requirements; b) *Intelligent vehicle systems*, that
embeds communication and computation capabilities with tracking and
controlling vehicles in physical world to handle various challenges of
efficient, green and safe transportation.

IoT blends several technologies into the Internet and thus suffers from
great technical problems that needed to be addressed. This special issue
intends to investigate these open problems and overview the current
findings, research directions and experimental settings.
