Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the spotlight innovations which has the potential to provide unlimited benefits to our society. With the rapid growth of IoT applications, the classic centralized cloud computing paradigm faces several challenges such as high latency, low capacity and network failure. To address these challenges, fog computing brings the cloud closer to IoT devices by providing data processing capabilities and storage locally on fog nodes instead of sending them to the cloud. The integration of fog computing with the IoT creates a new opportunity for various applications and services. The fog supports real-time interactions between IoT devices to reduce latency, especially for time-sensitive IoT applications. In addition, one of the important features of fog computing is the ability to support large-scale sensor networks, which is a big problem with the ever-growing number of IoT devices. The purpose of this special issue is to provide the academic and industrial communities with an excellent venue covering all aspects of current work on emerging trends of fog computing in IoT applications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- New computing technologies related to Fog-based IoT applications
- Fog-based case studies on IoT applications
- Network architecture of fog computing in IoT applications
- Integrated communication and computing design for fog computing-based IoT
- Theoretical foundation and models for fog/edge computing-based IoT
- Data analytics for fog computing-based IoT
- Big data for fog computing-based IoT
- Security and privacy in fog computing-based IoT
- Machine learning for fog computing-based IoT
- Communication protocols for fog computing-based IoT
- Vehicular fog computing
- Fog computing as an enabler for 5G
- Artificial Intelligence with Fog in IoT
- Fog-enabled social networks of IoT devices
- Energy efficient solutions for fog computing

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. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
