IEEE Access Special Section Editorial: Internet-of-Things Big Data Trust Management

Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly common in our society and daily life, with applications ranging from personal devices (e.g., wearable devices such as Google Smartwatches) to smart home (e.g., smart TVs and Amazon Echo) to smart city/grid (e.g., unmanned aerial and/or ground vehicles), as well as in battlefield settings (e.g., Internet of Battlefield / Military Things). One corresponding trend associated with the increase in IoT devices, in terms of both number and diversity, is a significant increase in the volume, velocity, variety, variability, and value of the generated and resultant data (i.e., 5Vs of big data).
