Distributed systems including newly emergent Web based systems are getting increasingly complex as well as widely required. Implementing them becomes a challenging issue since it needs sophisticated techniques, which integrate both distributed processes and information exchanges using various communication modes and fault-prone mediums. Moreover, they are often deployed over parallel and resource constrained platforms ranging from Internet to mobile, ad hoc networks, or even sensor networks.

These systems being extensively complex, their analysis and performance evaluation play a crucial role in the design process to ensure their correct deployment and efficient operation. It is then important to develop and use effective performance evaluation tools and methods in their design. As a result, performance modeling and evaluation continue to gain increasing importance. However, guaranteeing QoS and provisioning of correct systems are still a challenging problem. For instance, though new methods and tools are proposed to address such issues (e.g., Stochastic Automata Networks, PEPA...) quantitative analysis remains an intractable issue due to state space explosion.

Accordingly, this special issue focuses on newly efficient techniques of simulation and performance evaluation of distributed and mobile systems as well as Web services architectures using both analytical methods and simulation studies. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research related to QoS and communication performance evaluation of these systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Communication performance evaluation of distributed and mobile systems

Performance evaluation of distributed and web-based systems

Tools and software for performance evaluation

Simulation, modeling, analysis and measurements techniques

Quantitative analysis

Stochastic comparisons

Network Protocols design for Web service devices

Routing optimization

Bandwidth management

With the rapid development of big data and current popular information technology, the problems include how to efficiently use systems to generate all the different kinds of new network intelligence and how to dynamically collect urban information. In this context, Internet-of-Things and powerful computers can simulate urban operations while operating with reasonable safety regulations. However, achieving sustainable development for a new urban generation currently requires major breakthroughs to solve a series of practical problems facing cities.

A smart city involves wide use of information technology for multidimensional aggregation. The development of smart cities is a new concept. Using Internet-of-Things technology on the Internet, networking, and other advanced technology, all types of cities will use intelligent sensor placement to create object-linked information integration. Then, using intelligent analysis to integrate the collected information along with the Internet and other networking, the system can provide analyses that meet the demand for intelligent communications and decision support. This concept represents the way smart cities will think. This type of behavior, with information technology as the background, can establish a practical, strong, and perfect application system for public management, public services, and public industry, improve governmental service efficiency, and improve people's quality of life. A smart city emphasizes efficient information processing abilities, integration of information resources, and management capabilities so that all parts become more coordinated. People, objects, networks, and industry become interconnected and mutually aware through interdisciplinary, cross-sectional, multi-level, and cross-regional cooperation, resulting in a realization of new models and new forms of urban development, all of which represent the wisdom of smart cities.

Cyber-Physical System(CPS) as a multidimensional and complex system is a comprehensive calculation, network and physical environment. Through the combination of computing technology, communication technology and control technology, the close integration of the information world and the physical world is realized. IOT is not only closely related to people's life and social development, but also has a wide application in military affairs, including aerospace, military reconnaissance, intelligence grid system, intelligent transportation, intelligent medical, environmental monitoring, industrial control, etc. Intelligent medical system as a typical application of IOT will be used as a node of medical equipment to provide real-time, safe and reliable medical services for people in wired or wireless way. In the intelligent transportation system, road, bridge, intersection, traffic signal and other key information will be monitored in real time. The vast amount of information is analyzed, released and calculated by the system, so that the road vehicles can share road information in real time. Personnel of road management can observe and monitor the real-time situation of the key sections in the system, and even release the information to guide the vehicle so as to improve the existing urban traffic conditions. The Internet of things, which has been widely used in the industry, is a simple application of IOT. It can realize the function of object identification, positioning and monitoring through the access to the network.

This special issue calls for high quality and up-to-date technology related to IOT and CPS and serves as a forum for researchers all over the world to discuss their works and recent advancements in the field. In particular, the special issue is going to showcase the most recent progress and development in IOT discovery and exploration. Both theoretical studies and state-of-the-art practical applications are welcome for submission. All the submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:

Integrating provenance into Internet-of-Things(IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems(CPS)

Internet of Things and Internet of Vehicles

Real-time meanings in various application spaces: aeronautics, medical, transportation, energy

The rise of wearable/embodied technologies and personal/body area networks has successfully bridged our personal physical and cyber worlds in recent years. Interactions between human users and their personal mobile devices push toward an Internet where the human user becomes more central than ever (evolving from consumers of information to prosumers), and where their personal devices become their proxies in the cyber world, in addition to acting as a fundamental tool to sense the physical world (what is also called as citizen science or participatory sensing). Internet of People (IoP) is a new Internet paradigm where humans and their personal devices are not seen merely as end users of applications, but become active elements of the Internet. It represents the mapping of social individuals and their interactions with smart devices to the Internet. It focuses on data collection, modelling, analysis and ubiquitous intelligence for a wide range of applications of crowd sourced, Internet-based personal information.

Likewise, the emerging social and sentiment analysis computing, behaviour modelling and novel human/environment interaction mechanisms, e.g. brain, audible or augmented or mixed reality computing, will allow further incorporation of the social and mental worlds into the so-called Hyper World. Due to the pervasiveness of IoP and its impacts on human activity, it has quickly emerged as an important interdisciplinary field which encompasses IoT, HCI, bio-inspired algorithms with behavioural and social sciences.

In essence, IoP promotes the idea that a Smart World is only possible if there is a better and smarter collaboration bridging machine intelligence and human intelligence, between devices and people, where technology (AI in particular) is applied from a human-centric and driven standpoint, i.e. following the Internet of People paradigm.

This special issue is then focused on cutting edge research from academia, industry and practitioners, with emphasis on original, novel, innovative and impact-oriented research providing insights into Smarter Hyper-Connected Societies' needs, processes, services and frameworks using the Internet of People paradigm. An area of particular interest in this Special Issue is to consider how Collective Intelligence can meet Machine Intelligence in order to give place to more user-centric and driven intelligence to enable Intelligent Environments where Humans and Internet-connected devices cooperate and influence their behaviour in order to promote autonomous life, better energy sustainability, healthier environments or inclusive environments.

Specifically, this issue welcomes three categories of papers: (1) high quality and significantly extended papers from the 13th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence (UCAml 2-5 December, 2019) whose motto is "user-centered computing environments and systems" and from the ACM 9th IoT Conference (IoT 22-25 October, 2019); (2) invited articles from qualified experts; and (3) contributed papers from this open call with address any of the following list of topics.
