Introduction
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the International Conference on Smart Computing and Communication (SmartTech-2017), but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call. Smart Technology is the product of accelerated development of the new generation Information Technology and Internet of Things, based on the network combination of the Internet, telecommunications network, broadcast network, wireless broadband network and other sensors networks where Internet of Things (IoT) technology is as its core. The main features of a smart Technology include a high degree of information technology integration and a comprehensive application of information resources. The essential components of smart development should include smart technology, smart industry, smart services, smart management and smart life.

The Internet of Things is about installing sensors (RFID, IR, GPS, laser scanners, etc.) for everything, and connecting them to the internet through specific protocols for information exchange and communications, in order to achieve intelligent recognition, location, tracking, monitoring and management. With the technical support from IoT, smart technologies need to have three features of being instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. Only then a Smart Technology can be formed by integrating all these intelligent features at its advanced stage of IOT development.

The explosive growth of Smart Technologies and Internet of Things applications creates many scientific and engineering challenges that call for ingenious research efforts from both academia and industry, especially for the development of efficient, scalable, and reliable Smart Technology based on IoT. New protocols, architectures, and services are in dire needs to respond for these challenges.

Objective
This special issue focuses on the technical issues we face when designing, engineering, deploying, and maintaining the Smart Technologies using IoT. We seek high-quality and unpublished papers that push research in all facets of the Smart Technologies. Contributions may present and solve open technical problems, integrate novel solutions efficiently, and focus on the performance evaluation and comparison with existing standards. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome.
