The aim of this special issue is mainly focused on low cost wireless technologies, such as RFID and wireless Sensor Networks, enabling the Internet of Things. New international standard, such as EPCglobal and 6LoWPAN, are contributing more and more to a large-scale deployment of these emerging technologies.
High-quality, original, unpublished contributions will be considered for the issue. Authors wishing to submit papers should send an electronic version (PDF or postscript file only) with a separate cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors with affiliations, and up to 200 words abstract, to one of the Guest Editors:
