----------------------------------------------------

The Web has reached its pinnacle of success with numerous systems and 
software having some sort of web-based access to its data, functionality 
and services. The integration of sensors/sensor networks and web 
platforms (aka Sensor-Web) has transformed the Web into a more dynamic 
and real-time information sharing landscape. As a result of such 
integration, a lot of applications and services have come into fruition, 
such as social sensing, health monitoring, and environment monitoring -- 
all of which leverage real-time sensory media feeds at a different 
level. The concepts like Sensor Web Enablement, Web of Things (Internet 
of Things), and Sensor Cloud Integration opened up new opportunities for 
information processing, exchange, alerting and notification for the 
greater good of people, society and environment. Despite all these 
benefits of integrating sensors and web, there are many challenges from 
various research and technical perspectives in terms of heterogeneity of 
sensors, interoperability, information exchange middleware, service 
development, alerting and notification, etc. that need further attention.

This special issue solicits high-quality unpublished research and review 
articles focusing on open issues and challenges related to the 
integration of sensor networks, the Internet of Things, and the Web 
toward the development of innovative applications and services.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:
* Sensor-Web infrastructure and middleware
* Sensor-Web service development, discovery and management
* Dynamic resource allocation mechanisms for Sensor-Web systems
* Semantic modeling, analysis and annotation for Sensor-Web systems
* Alerting and notification protocols and mechanisms for Sensor-Web systems
* QoS, QoI and QoE computation and improvements in Sensor-Web systems
* Sensor-Web data integration and information fusion
* Querying and indexing the Sensor-Web
* Framework for cloud, web and sensors for Sensor-Web systems
* Sensor-Web based social and crowd sensing approaches
* Sensor-Web security and privacy
* Sensor-Web based surveillance and monitoring for public safety
* Emerging applications and services of Sensor-Web
