Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary paradigm for connected objects that enables diverse communication between heterogeneous devices. Continuous connectivity empowers these devices to socialize with each other by sharing information from distinct sources. IoT has played a profound role in diverse domains of life ranging from healthcare to agriculture, education to enterprise and transportation to engineering and many more. A progressive embracement of IoT by industry and individuals has enabled the realization of concepts such as Smart Cities and Smart Industries that were considered a mere dream decade ago. Further, mobility in IoT brings a lot of challenges when it comes to providing generic frameworks, protocols, applications and services such as uncertainty, dynamicity, disruptions, scalability and reliability etc. Highly  mobile objects have tendency to change their context at a rapid pace that brings the challenge of realizing the applications that require contextual information for their operations and functionality. Generating context information requires extensive data analysis, high energy consumption, intelligent sensing and large storages to ensure appropriate information dissemination entities involved in the system.

Context-aware mobility has gained tremendous attention with the advent of new generation of portal devices, e.g., smart phones, smart watches, tablets, fitness bands and smart cars etc. Change in the context can significantly

transform the overall outcome of the system based on the devices, users, applications and environmental parameters. Recent advancements in IoT are still in their fancy and require standardization, benchmarking, architectural designs, models, guidelines, policies and measurement criteria for development and deployment of context-aware applications and services.

This special issue is expected to provide a platform for academics and industry researchers to identify and debate enabling technologies, technical and non-technical challenges and recent accomplishments associated with contextaware mobility in IoT. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

• Architectural Design for Context-Aware Mobile IoT systems

• Data Processing and Analytics for Mobile Contextualization

• Context-aware mobility in IoT using Fog Computing

• Security, Privacy and Trust Management in Context-aware Mobility

• Social and Ethical implications of Context-aware Mobility in IoT Devices

• Applications and Use Case Scenarios of Context-aware Mobile IoT Systems

• Communication Technologies for Mobile IoT based on Context Intelligence

• Context-Aware Mobility in Transportation

• Context-Aware Mobility in Healthcare

• Context-aware Mobility based Business Models for IoT applications

• Wearable IoT based applications for context intelligence

The submitted manuscripts for this special collection will be peer-reviewed before publication.
