The authors of a number of selected full papers of high quality will be invited after the conference to submit revised and extended versions of their originally accepted conference papers to this Special Issue of the open access journal Information, published by MDPI. The selection of these papers will be based on their ratings in the conference review process, quality of presentation during the conference, and expected impact on the research community. For each submission to this Special Issue, at least 50% of the content should be new material, e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases, and there should be a change in title, abstract, and keywords. These extended submissions will undergo a peer-review process according to the journal’s rules of action. At least two technical committees will act as reviewers for each extended article submitted to this Special Issue; if needed, additional external reviewers will be invited to guarantee a high-quality reviewing process.
