Guest Editorial Special Issue on Mobile Crowd Sensing for IoT

The ubiquitous sensor-rich mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, wearable devices, and smart vehicles) have been playing an increasing important role in the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoTs), which bridges the digital space and physical space at a societal scale. Their powerful computing/communication capacities, huge population, and inherent mobility makes mobile-device networks a much m...

Guest Editorial Special Issue on Cloud Computing for IoT

IN RECENT years, there has been a growing interest in the ability of embedded devices, sensors, and actuators to communicate, and create a ubiquitous cyber-physical world. The growth of the notion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapid development of technologies such as short range mobile communication and improved energy-efficiency is expected to create a pervasive connection of “thing...

Guest Editorial: Special Issue on Software for Soft Computing

The term Soft Computing refers to a family of techniques (Fuzzy Logic, Neuro-computing, Probabilistic Reasoning, Evolutionary Computation, etc.) endowed with the ability to work in a cooperative way, taking profit from the main advantages of each other, thus tackling with complex real-world problems really hard to solve otherwise [6]. In the last years, many software tools have been developed f...

Guest Editorial: Special Issue on Clouds for Social Computing

IN recent time, two complimentary Internet based research areas are emerging: social computing and cloud computing. On the one hand, social computing empowers individual users with relatively low technological sophistication to use the web to engage in social interactions, contribute their expertise and share their content, experiences and opinions. On the other hand, cloud computing offers eve...
