Cloud computing has become an exciting platform in modern IT era that provides on-demand services and resources such as compute power, memory, storage, networking, and various software services. A large number of small and medium size companies and big organizations have been exploiting cloud computing services for various applications in order to save time and cost as they do not have to maintain their own IT infrastructure. Cloud computing has various benefits such as flexibility, scalability, automatic maintenance of software, and anywhere and anytime service provisioning over the Internet.1 This special issue was organized to solicit papers via an open call as well as selected papers from the IEEE 4th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2016) and the 13th International Conference on Mobile Web and Intelligent Information Systems (MobiWis 2016), which were held in Vienna, Austria, 22-24 August 2016. The conferences were attended by a large number of participants from different countries across the world. The conferences featured a number of technical sessions of research papers, industry talks, and keynote talks. A number of workshops and symposia were also organized alongside the FiCloud and MobiWis conferences.
