Dear colleagues

Internet of things (IoT) covers a huge scientific and technical area from RFID technologies to actual ubiquitous systems. The domain is so broad now that it embraces simple sensor or device hardware to complex communication protocols between them. It also includes pervasive and mobile computing, human computer interaction, real world modeling, or human centric validation and experience characterization.

This special issue is focused on the evolution from pure machine-to-machine interconnections to machine becoming aware of their environment and of the people. In this issue we would like to focus on understanding what should be done to improve the IoT awareness to human. The Authors are invited to submit papers from diverse fields including Human Computer Interaction, Pervasive Computing, Distributed and Mobile Computing, Sensors and Devices, Building automation, Data analytics for IoT.
