Overview
The last decade of ICT has been characterized and driven in many aspects by the massive technological revolution of mobile devices that completely changed the way people communicate and how they interact with available services and the environment. Furthermore, the Internet of Things (IoT) represents the next technological (re)evolution envisioning a world where people and devices are always connected and can seamlessly interact with one another. In fact, people and things can more efficiently communicate on the move exploiting the awareness of their location (indoor and outdoor) while this information can also be used to create new context-aware services and experiences. Smart City and Industrial IoT represent notable use cases where ubiquitous connectivity, mobility, and location awareness of people and devices represent key enablers to provide new services, ranging from dynamic creation of rescue groups in case of emergencies to efficient and autonomous management of warehouses. In particular, the Special
Issue aims at underlining how the advent of the IoT has pushed the development of innovative and widespread LBS services, by providing mechanisms to enable and foster the interaction (both monitoring and actuation) with the context surrounding people and things.
This Special Issue addresses the innovative developments, technologies, and challenges related to IoT Location Based Service (LBS) design and implementation for ubiquitous and pervasive application scenarios. The Special Issue is seeking the latest findings from research and ongoing projects. Additionally, review articles that provide readers with current research trends and solutions are also welcome. The potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- LBS and Internet of Things
- Geospatial services and resource discovery
- Seamless interaction between people and things in pervasive environment
- Architecture for distributed geospatial applications
- Edge/Fog Computing Architectures to support LBS applications
- Vehicles as Connected Smart Objects in IoT applications
- Drone Applications & IoT
- Heterogeneity and Interoperability management
- 5G Architectures and Applications for the next generation of LBS services
- Indoor and outdoor localization technologies
- IoT Pervasive and Ubiquitous Applications
- Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for localization and LBS
- Real-world experiences, e.g., in Smart City and Industrial IoT environments
