Resumen: Everyday objects surrounding us including numerous sensors weaved into the daily fabric of life are becoming online, that is, readable and controllable via Internet, these days. By providing a new ecosystem of information, this notion, termed Internet of Things (IoT) will drastically change our ways to interact with real world. Meanwhile, current Internet is facing various challenges such as exponential growth in bandwidth demand. The realization of IoT is also putting current Internet under great pressure due to its unprecedented scale—according to some forecasts, IoT, an integral part of the “future” Internet, will consist of over 50 billion connected things. To cope with such bandwidth demand and complexity as well as to solve other issues, for example, seamless wireless access and mobility support, and security, with current Internet, new architectures for the future Internet have been proposed, for example, information/content centric network architectures and cloud-computing centric network architectures. However, several questions still remain: how IoT will be supported in the future Internet architectures, that is, when deploying large-scale wireless sensor networks do we need to fully integrate embedded sensors with Internet or use dedicated gateways to bridge sensors and Internet similar to state-of-the-art technologies? The aim of this Special Issue is to answer various open questions in realizing IoT over future Internet technologies. The Special Issue includes extended papers forwarded from the seventh International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN 2015) and other contributions from outside the conference highly related to IoT in future Internet. Specifically, 6 high-quality papers out of 18 submitted have been accepted.
