The networked connection of people, things, processes and data is called the Internet of Everything (IoE). The IoE provides high revenues to many companies due to the increase of work efficiency, as well as to the increase of security and comfort of the workers. The sector-specific infrastructures, where the IoE is successfully implemented are smart grid, critical infrastructure management and smart meters, among others. Nonetheless, the increase of revenues is going to multiply in public and private sectors due to IoE deployment together with a big contribution to the well-being of people. IoE is based on near Internet ubiquity and includes three types of connections: machine-to-machine, person-to-machine and person-to-person. Machine-to-Machine is closely related to security, including civil security (e.g., security in the road, disaster alert, etc.) and military security. Person-to-Machine communication brings an unquestionable increase of well-being in home automation systems but also is fundamental for intelligent parking, patient monitoring and disaster response, among others. At last, person-to-person connection is already changing the inter-personal relations, which are becoming more multimedia and located in the social networks. IoE will increase the scenarios of person-to-person networked communication as, for example, telework, networked learning and telemedicine. In this context, this book aims at presenting the current state-of-the-art research and future trends on various aspects of IoE. The major subjects of the book will cover methodologies, modeling, analysis and newly introduced mobile technologies.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
? Emerging trends of context awareness in the IoT
? Ambient information gathering and modeling
? Context reasoning/extraction from large-scale data and signals
? Crowd sensing
? Energy efficiency
? IoT interfaces
? Personal activity recognition
? QoS in the heterogenous IoT
? Emotion recognition
? Personal/M2M awareness in environments
? Active authentication
? IoT through terrestria/satellite networks
? E/M-health applications and architectures
? Social information understanding/enhancing social interaction among peers/mobile social networks
? User mobility patterns
? VANets in IoT architectures
? IoT programming and APIs issues/concepts and architectures
We strongly welcome other topic suggestions, dealing with IoE.
Sections of the above mentioned topics will be hosted under the following sections:
Section I ? Introduction and Applications of IoE
Section II ? Architectures and systems of IoE
Section III? IoE with 5G mobile technologies
Section IV? IoE and FOG computing applications
Section V? IoE-cloud oriented systems
Section VI? IoE smart resource management frameworks
Section VII? Big Data frameworks in IoE environments
Section VIII? Performance Evaluation of IoE-related systems and applications
