Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is essentially supported by the rapid progress in microelectronics. Many digital devices (mobile or embedded) appear near people, and each device can be utilized to serve humans. Devices are connected, and they enable cooperative service construction. Based on this type of cooperation, various IoT environments can be developed. Any IoT environment can be considered as a smart or intelligent environment, since the goal is to produce smart services for its users. A smart service is characterized by such properties as context-awareness, personalization, information assistance, ubiquitous access, adaptation, pro-active delivery, and others.
Service intelligence can be created based on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) methods. The environment provides multisource data and sensing possibilities. Data sources are people, information systems, Internet services, smart IoT objects, and embedded and mobile sensors. The data are fused and analyzed to derive the proper information to assist the user. First, the analysis is almost in real-time, when shared data are dynamically updated. Advanced solutions are needed to access up-to-date information. Second, the top relevant information facts are found among many appropriate ones. Advanced solutions to the information ranking problem are needed to efficiently assist the user. Plenty of different multimedia and mobile equipment are used to effectively deliver services as assistance information to users.
With this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit original research or review articles mainly focused on the Ambient Intelligence and Internet of Things environments. Research and development topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Smart IoT technologies, platforms, and systems;
- Digital devices and network components for creating AmI in an IoT environment;
- Multisource data sensing and information exchange in an IoT environment;
- Fusing data from physical, cyber, and social worlds;
- Edge and Fog computing for IoT environments;
- Data mining by interaction of many IoT devices;
- Data analytics based on semantic relations discovered in multisource data;
- AmI implementation as a service of information assistance;
- Testbeds, applications, case studies, and social issues around creating AmI in an IoT environment.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
