Over the past couple of decades, transportation systems begin to receive widespread attention from the scientific community and emerged towards Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Effective vehicular connectivity techniques can significantly enhance efficiency of travel, reduce traffic incidents and improve safety, alleviate the impact of congestion; devising the so-called Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) experience. Furthermore, during the past decades the volume and density of vehicles increased significantly, especially the road traffic; this lead to a dramatic increase in number of accidents and congestion, with negative impacts on the economy, environment and quality of people's lives. In particular, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), road traffic injuries are estimated to be the leading cause of death for young people aged (15-29) and the ninth cause of death worldwide in 2015. The enabling communication technologies are intended to realize the frameworks that will spur an array of applications and use cases in the domain of road safety, traffic efficiency, and driver's assistance. Although these applications will allow dissemination and gathering of useful information among vehicles and between transportation infrastructure and vehicles in pursuance of assisting drivers to travel safely and comfortably; still much efforts are required to implement these practices for the success of these applications.

Traffic safety applications such hazard location warnings and collision warnings etc. rely heavily on the timely delivery of safety-critical real-time data. Most of these applications demand strictly bounded timing response and are highly dependent on the performance of the underlying wireless vehicular communication technology. In most cases, these systems are required to have dependable timeliness requirements since data communication must be conducted within predefined temporal bounds along with fulfilling other requirements such as reliability, security etc. This is mainly because the unfulfillment of these requirements may compromise the expected behaviour of the system and cause economic losses or endanger human lives. In addition, the broadcast nature of wireless communications in an open environment makes it more vulnerable to un-wanted external entities compared to the wired communications. Therefore, the consideration of the real-time aspects in the implementation of ITS services offers great potential to improve the level of safety, efficiency and comfort on our roads. In addition, European ITS considered the deterministic medium access methods as one of the criteria for the evaluation of possible ITS communication technologies.

In addition to the fact that applications for traffic safety rely heavily on the support of wireless vehicular communications, the existing standards such IEEE 802.11p do not provide deterministic real-time support and the other enabling technologies such LTE-V from 3GPP and traffic sensors are either in their definition stage or not fully deployed and tested for dependable real-time communication.

Therefore, the purpose of this special issue is to publish high-quality research, expecting both from academic and industrial stakeholders, and serves as an outlet for disseminating innovative solutions towards meeting the expectation of ITS and mainly real-time dependable communication.
Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published, submitted or not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:
- New paradigms for dependable and real-time vehicular communication

Following the tremendous success of 2G and 3G mobile networks and the fast growth of 4G, the next generation mobile networks (5G) was proposed aiming to provide infinite networking capability to mobile users. Differentiated from 4G, benefits offered by 5G is much more than the increased maximum throughput. It aims to involve and benefit from many current technical advances including Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). As the IIoT integrates many heterogeneous networks, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Mobile Communication Networks (3G/4G/LTE/5G), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and wearable health care systems, it is critical to design self-organizing and smart protocols for heterogeneous ad hoc networks in various IoT applications, such as cyber-physical systems, cloud computing for heterogeneous ad hoc networks, large-scale sensor networks, data acquisition from distributed smart devices, green communication and applications, environmental monitoring and control, etc. Moreover, based on the survey conducted by the World Health Organization, the world will lack 12.9 million health care workers by 2035. Hence, it is important to develop wearable health care systems to perform self-health monitoring. In general, wearable health care systems demands low power consumption and high measurement accuracy. Smart technologies including green electronics, green radios, fuzzy neural approaches and intelligent signal processing techniques play important roles for the developments of the wearable health care systems. This special issue aims at providing a forum to discuss the recent advances on 5G and beyond mobile technologies and applications for IIoT.

Non-residential (industrial and commercial) customers have great potential in providing flexibility for power systems through diverse Demand Response (DR) programs. Intelligent energy management can be carried out with DR in industrial and commercial facilities, especially if on-site control, information and communication technologies are available, enabling also the inherent automation capabilities of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Due to the dawn of the Smart Grid era, with increasing distributed generation and the conversion of traditionally passive consumers to newly active energy players in the market, DR is being effectively considered for outage management and network reinforcement deferral. The industrial and commercial potential of DR is not yet completely understood, especially regarding the emerging and advanced technologies associated to the Smart Grid. Advances in smart meter technology that allow monitoring and controlling responsive loads in near real-time will also be key enablers of DR potential. It can be more complex to implement DR for industrial loads if compared to residential loads mainly due to the reliability management that is more vital for industrial plants. An interruption of service may lead to stopping production or violating operational constraints of the plant. Industrial processes can be interdependent and correlated, being difficult to isolate and shed separately. Several manufacturing processes are critically dependent on time and must be scheduled with high precision. DR solutions can reduce costs related to energy consumption and increase renewable sources exploitation. This special section aims at providing a forum to discuss the most recent advances on Industrial and Commercial DR.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced informatics for industrial/commercial DR
- Industrial/commercial DR schemes, programs and optimization models
- Information and communication infrastructure of industrial/commercial DR
- Sensors, metering and control technologies for industrial/commercial DR
- Industrial/commercial DR interactions with renewable/distributed generation
- Trading industrial/commercial DR in wholesale and retail markets
- Dynamic prices and tariffs in industrial/commercial DR
- Price prediction and/or load forecasting for industrial/commercial DR
- Strategic market behavior of industrial/commercial DR aggregation agents
- Industrial/commercial DR participation in ancillary services
- Electric vehicles and energy storage participation in industrial/commercial DR
- Integration of multi-energy systems with industrial/commercial DR

With the continuous expansion of ubiquitous sensors, devices, networks and Internet of Things, all kinds of data become widely available and large in amount. Generation of huge amounts of data, called big data, reflects the dynamics of physical world and can be the basis for ubiquitous intelligence. Big data in ubiquitous intelligence scenarios exhibit some specific characteristics, like multi-source, heterogeneous, large-scale, real-time streaming, continuous, ever-expanding and spatial-temporal. Traditional ubiquitous computing approaches or systems began to show their limitations. It is difficult to manage and utilize all kinds of big data to accelerate ubiquitous intelligence in real-world. We believe that we need a new way for ubiquitous intelligence and computing where big data is immensely involved, especially for the data trace collected from ambient sensors, wearable, social media and so on. Intensive research is required on the collaboration between big data and ubiquitous computing. This special issue, as a dedicated forum, aims for the scientific and industrial community to present their novel models, methodologies, techniques and solutions which can address theoretical and practical issues.

Network infrastructure is undergoing a major shift away from ossified hardware-based networks to programmable software-based networks. One compelling example of this paradigm shift is the advent of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). A traditional network mixes control and traffic processing logic in single hardware devices, making the network more complex and harder to manage. SDN has addressed this issue by decoupling the control plane in network devices from the data plane to simplify production networks. On the other hand, enterprise networks are populated with a large number of proprietary and expensive hardware-based middleboxes, such as firewall, IDS/IPS, and load balancing. Hardware-based middleboxes present significant drawbacks such as high costs, management complexity, slow time to market, and unscalability. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) was proposed as another new network paradigm to address those drawbacks by replacing hardware-based network functions with virtualized software systems running on generic and inexpensive commodity hardware. Given their benefits, SDN and NFV have recently attracted significant attention from both academia and industry.

SDN and NFV introduce significant granularity, visibility, flexibility, and elasticity to networking, but at the same time bring forth new security challenges. For example, decoupling the data plane and the control plane in SDN essentially opens a door to attackers for exploiting the vulnerabilities of SDN controllers, APIs, applications, and protocols, and further break their trust relations. Meanwhile, both SDN and NFV could be leveraged to strengthen network defense. The aim of this special issue is to encompass research advances in all areas of security in emerging networking technologies. The special issue intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to share their novel research ideas and results.

This special issue calls for original, high-quality, high-impact research papers related to the following broad topics, but are not limited to:
- SDN/NFV-enabled security architecture
- SDN/NFV-based automated network security
- SDN/NFV-based mitigation for attacks

Deep learning is a novel research direction in machine learning field. In recent years, it has made breakthrough progress in many applications such as speech recognition, computer vision, industrial control and automation etc. The motivation of deep learning is to establish a model to simulate the neural connection structure of human brain. While dealing with outside complex signals, it adopts a number of transformation stages to give the in-depth interpretation of the data. Shallow learning is to rely on the artificial experience to extract the characteristics of the sample datasets, and the network model is obtained after the study which has no hierarchical structure; while the deep learning treats the original signal with layer by layer feature transformation, and transforms the feature representation of the sample in the original space into the new feature space, and automatically learns the hierarchical representation of the feature, which is more conducive to the classification or feature visualization. Deep learning achieves exceptional power and flexibility by learning torepresent the task as a nested hierarchy of layers, with more abstract representations computed in terms of less abstract ones. The current resurgence is a result of the breakthroughs in efficient layer-wise training, availability of big datasets, and faster computers.

It is expected that the development of deep learning theories and applications would further influence the field of industry informatics. This special issue mainly focuses on deep learning models for industry informatics, addressing both original algorithmic development and new applications of deep learning.
