Billions of interconnected devices that have limited capabil-ities in terms of computational power, memory, and batteryare expected to soon form a new type of the Internet, calledthe Internet of Things (IoT). According to forecasts, theInternet will consist of over 50 billion connected things, thatis, IoT devices, including televisions, cars, kitchen appliances,surveillance cameras, smartphones, utility meters, cardiacmonitors, thermostats, and almost anything that we canimagine.

Alreadymany high-tech companies over the world started developingIoT products and services and promoting their early stage ofIoT products and services in all market domains. Among themost notable challenges, wireless andmobile technologies arethe underlying technologies for realizing the IoT. Resourceconstrained devices are required to communicate with otherdevices in wireless networks. The devices are also required tocommunicate on themove. In addition to these requirements,various technical and scientific research considerations arealso required.
This special issue gathers high quality research anddevelopment results of wireless and mobile technologies forthe IoT. In one article, R.-S. Cheng et al. target localiza-tion and guidance in indoor settings. Such technologiesare easily available for outdoor settings, but a requirementexists for indoor applications. They propose a guidingsystem combining GPS, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), andnear field communication (NFC) technologies. In anotherarticle, A. A. Minhas et al. proposed a technique based
on cognitive heterogeneous wireless grid to eliminate whitespots in mobile WiMAX broadcasting regions. The idea ofthe technique is interesting in the sense that it uses theincorporation between mobile WiMAX and GSM, wherethe vertical handoff and switching towards GSM grid aretriggered by mobile subscriber without suffering from thewhite spot problem.

Two other papers target vehicular networks. C.-R. Dowet al. propose a taxi management system using locationbased services and zone queuing techniques which allowtaxi drivers to look for passengers on the road or wait inthe queuing zones. Y. Zou et al. focus on communicationin vehicular networks by improving Direction of Arrivalestimation algorithms.

2 Mobile Information Systems
In the article by D. Kim, the author proposes groupinterest based verification scheme for CCN using a trans-mission process to handle request messages at one time.The proposed verification method is designed to be suitablefor the proposed transmission process. Also, this hybridverification approach is first proposed so as to improve thecomputation overheads of a verification process.
Three papers focus on security and privacy issues. W.Ren et al. process a novel file access scheme for file storageservices in mobile cloud computing services. S.-H. Chang etal. focus on mobile crowd sensing paradigm which leveragescitizens for large-scale sensing by various mobile devices toefficiently collect and share local information. They focus onthe network trustworthiness problem, namely, Sybil attacksin such network. In their article, Y. Kim et al. target privacydata leaks in mobile applications and propose a methodologyand architecture for measuring user awareness of sensitivedata leakage, which features runtime application analysis overtiming distance between the user input event and actualprivacy data leak.
In the article by J. Lee and J. Lee, they propose a duplicatename prefix detection mechanism to enhance the contentsource mobility in Content Centric Networking (CCN). H.-W. Wang focuses on RFID technology which is used forrecognizing objects in Internet of Things (IoT). In orderto improve system performance, H.-W. Wang proposes anefficient scheme to estimate the number of unidentified tagsfor Dynamic Framed Slotted Aloha (DFSA) based RFIDsystem, with the view of increasing system performance.H. Kim et al. proposed a network application agent inorder to overcome the issues related to the impossibility ofcontrolling IoT devices beyond a certain threshold withoutusing the devices’ native language. The proposed solution,which is based on Cordova, is a wearable device control plat-form for the development of network applications, controlsinput/output functions of smartphones and wearable/IoT,and enables device control and information exchange byexternal users by offering a self-defined API.
In another article, X. Li et al. present a novel analyticalmodel to investigate the eavesdropping attacks in Wire-less Net of Things (WNoT). S. Kim proposed an effectiveresources’ allocation technique, which maximizes the per-formance of dynamic environment of real-time IoT systems.The main idea behind the paper is to exploit learning basedMarkov game model to optimize dynamically the alloca-tion strategy to the current system conditions. Besides, theproposed solution presents many possibilities of extension,notably in the context of uncertain system environments, inwhich the proposed iterative approach may help in optimiz-ing the resources’ usage. M. Chung and I. Ko propose a datasharing method among multi-smart devices at close range.The proposed method uses inaudible frequencies as a triggersignal andWi-Fi andGPS information in order to address theshortcomings of existing data sharing methods, specificallydata sharing using the Bump application. A. Ahmad et al.consider the challenge ofmanagingmobility inM2Mand IoTapplications and propose a novel vertical handover scheme.
