IEEE INTERNET OF THINGS JOURNAL
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been said to have been “born” between 2008 and 2009, when the number of “things” connected to the Internet exceeded the number of people connected. By 2020, several tens of billions of devices are predicted to be connected.  A simple definition of the Internet of Things is that it is a self-configuring wireless network of sensors whose purpose is to interconnect “all” things, including everyday and industrial objects. 

IEEE IoT Journal (IoTJ) is to be launched in 2014. It will be an online bi-monthly publication. IEEE IoT Journal will publish articles on the latest advances, as well as review articles, on the various aspects of IoT from open call and special issues.  Topics will include IoT system architecture, IoT enabling technologies, IoT communication and networking protocols, IoT services and applications, and the social implications of IoT. Examples are IoT demands, impacts, and implications on sensors technologies, big data management, and future internet design for various IoT use cases, such as smart cities, smart environments, smart homes, etc. The fields of interest include: 1) IoT architecture such as things-centric, data-centric, service-oriented IoT architecture; 2) IoT enabling technologies and systematic integration such as sensor technologies, big sensor data management, and future Internet design for IoT; 3) IoT services, applications, and test-beds such as IoT service middleware, IoT application design, and IoT trials/experiments; 4) IoT standardization activities and technology development in different standard development organizations (SDO) such as IEEE, IETF, ITU, 3GPP, ETSI, etc.
