Summary
Internet of Things (IoT) consists of smart devices connected together over the internet for sharing of information. With the rapid increase in the number of smart devices, the network infrastructure for accommodating these devices requires adequate connectivity and services. In this regard, Cloud computing, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) play a vital role. These three technologies together enable the smooth operation of computation functions of IoT devices. Cloud computing helps in the storage of data on the shared pool of resources. Whereas SDN and NFV functions support easy and flexible network management. These technologies are being developed to address the growing needs of IoT devices and are often regarded as foundation of modern computer communication. In this special issue, we seek state-of-the-art approaches, methodologies, and key technologies, in the design, development, deployment, and innovative use of cloud, SDN, and NFV for next-generation IoT infrastructures. Topics include, but are not limited to the following
• Algorithms, frameworks, and protocols for cloud-based IoT infrastructure
• Resource management using SDNs in IoT environments
• Data center management for IoT analytics
• Edge-based computation for low powered IoT devices
• NFV technologies for next-generation IoT infrastructure
• Reliable storage and communication platforms for IoTs and heterogeneous networks
