The structures of contemporary society are continually changing due to the rapid diffusion and transparent integration of computers and smart devices into daily life. The Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 have fostered new business opportunities, but they also present new and challenging requirements, such as low latency, security, and highly reliable communications. Hence, the next generations of telecommunications networks (5G and 6G) include increasing smart devices, such as cellphones and sensors, allowing real-time applications, and providing intelligence and confidentiality in the network infrastructure. To meet these requirements, the next generations of Internet of Things systems rely on fog and cloud computing, which emerge as potential solutions for the dynamic allocation of computational and network load to meet IoT application demands. In this sense, several challenges are latent, such as the following examples: autonomous communication of things (thing-to-thing or T2T), security of next-generation networks, new technologies that enable IoT applications in the cloud, multi-part connectivity, workload allocation, development of new IoT and Industry 4.0 applications.
This special issue focuses on the challenges of deploying cloud-based and Internet of Things applications, while considering the whole end-to-end architecture over the next generations of telecommunication networks, such as 5G & 6G, and cloud-enabled data center networking.

Dr. Daniel Mossé received his BS (Mathematics, 1985) from the University of Brasilia, Brazil, and MS and PhD degrees (Computer Science, 1990 and 1993) from the University of Maryland, College Park. He has been involved in the design and implementation of a couple of distributed, real-time operating system. His main research interest is in distributed systems, more specifically the allocation of resources (computing and network resources) in the realm of real-time, Internet of Things, power management, security, and fault tolerance. He bridges the gap between the operating systems and networking research fields. His research interests include Internet of Things, power-, energy- and temperature-aware systems; real-time systems, scheduling, distributed systems, wireless networking.
