In Sep. 2015, International Telecommunication Unit Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) has identified three categories of upcoming wireless features for the fifth generation (5G) radios and networks. In the meantime, ITU-R has also identified the radio transmission requirements of 5G (also known as International Mobile Telecommunications 2020, IMT-2020). To this end, 3GPP and IEEE consequently launched the standardization activity to frame 5G radios and networks. To satisfy these unprecedented radio transmission requirements, a number of innovative technologies will be adopted. The objective of this special issue is consequently to bring together state-of-the-art innovations, research activities, and the corresponding standardization impacts of 5G, so as to understand the inspirations, requirements, and the promising technical options to boost the development of 5G radios and networks.

Speech and language are integral to human communication. They encode rich linguistic and paralinguistic information of intent and emotions, including implicit cues that are reflective of our internal mental states and traits. In fact, many existing behavioral assessments and clinical diagnoses of neurological and psychiatric disorders rely on experts evaluating the human mental states through systematic manual categorization of relevant speech and language behaviors.

With advances in speech and language processing technologies (e.g., automatic speech recognition, speaker diarization, semantic analysis, information retrieval, etc.) as well as in behavioral signal processing and affective computing alongside the converging capabilities in large-scale human-centric sensing, data collection, and computing, there exists a wide range of possibilities for automatically detecting, recognizing, analysing, and predicting human mental states and traits from speech and language cues, including well-being and aspects of dysfunction, atypicality, and other indicators of illness. Such computational advances in modelling human behavioral signals have made the development of automated speech and language-based decision analytics in a variety of behavioural and mental health domains for enabling screening, diagnostics, and treatment support increasingly desirable because of its potential in achieving high reliability, consistency, and large-scale deployment. Domains of active research range from Autism Spectrum Disorders, major depressive disorders, and suicidality to Alzheimer’s disease, addiction, and relationship issues.

However, realizing end-to-end, real-world speech and language processing-based behavioral and mental health analytics require integrative handling of a wide range of technical challenges. These include deploying robust speech and language technology in clinically-valid and real-life scenarios, handling a variety of contextual and human factor-induced variabilities, uncovering hidden behavioral patterns related to the mental states of interest, and further validating and disseminating the derived speech-language analytics in mental health contexts. Many of these technical advancements have been isolated in the past, so substantial algorithmic and empirical efforts are still required to further enhance the technical capabilities, augmenting experts’ decision support and improving our quantitative understanding of human behaviors.

The objective of this Special Issue on Speech and Language Processing for Behavioral and Mental Health Applications is to bring together and share these advances in order to shape the future of the field. It will focus on technical issues and applications of speech and language processing for behavioral and mental health applications. Original, previously unpublished submissions are encouraged within (not limited to) the following scope:
- Analysis of mental and behavioral states in spoken and written language
- Technological support for ecologically- and clinically-valid data collection and pre-processing
- Robust automatic recognition of behavioral attributes and mental states
- Cross-cultural, cross linguistic, cross-domain mathematical approaches and applications
- Subjectivity modelling (mental states perception and behavioral annotation)
- Multimodal paralinguistics (e.g., voice, face, gesture)
- Neural-mechanisms, physiological response, and interplay with expressed behaviours
- Databases and resources to support study of speech and language processing for mental health
- Applications: scientific mechanisms, clinical screening, diagnostics, & therapy/treatment support
- Example Domains: Autism spectrum disorders, addiction, family and relationship studies, major depressive disorders, suicidality, Alzheimer’s disease

In the light of the spectrum bottleneck at both network access and backhaul levels, the time has come to consider the upper parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communications. By doing so, we move into the optical band which includes infrared, visible and ultraviolet sub-bands. Offering significant technical and operational advantages, optical wireless communication (OWC) can be, in some applications, a powerful alternative to and, in others, complementary to existing radio frequency wireless systems and fibreoptic systems. Despite the recent surge of interest in OWC, particularly its sub-disciplines visible light communication (VLC) andfree space optical communication (FSO), this area isrelatively less explored and extensive research efforts are further required to harness the enormous potential of the optical spectrum for wireless communication applications.

This special issue will provide a forum for the latest research and innovations in OWC technologies as well as their applications. High quality papers are solicited in the following non-exclusive listof main areasof research:
- Indoor and outdoor optical wireless channel modelling and characterization

Machine learning techniques are delivering a promising solution to the industry for building Internet of Things (IoT) systems and to make innovation at a rapid pace. The Open IoT cloud platform offers a framework for building large scale IoT applications relying on data gathered from a complex infrastructure of sensors and smart devices. Numerous challenges exist in implementing such a framework, one of them being to meet the IoT data and services (quality of service (QoS)) requirements on Industrial informatics based applications in terms of energy efficiency, sensing data quality, network resource consumption, and latency. The new era of convergence of machine learning techniques (supervised-unsupervised and reinforcement learning) with reference to IoT quality of data and services for Industrial applications has three main components: (a) intelligent devices, (b) intelligent system of systems, and (c) end-to-end analytics. This special issue is integrating machine learning methods, advanced data analytics optimization opportunities to bring more computer IoT data and services. Further, machine learning approaches had addressed various challenges of IoT such as anomaly detection, multivariate analysis, streaming and visualization of data.

In fact, recent literatures have addressed the inherent power of fusion between machine learning algorithms and IoT applications in industrial informatics. It can provide effective solutions for machine understanding of data (structured/semi structured), optimization problems, specifically, dealing with incomplete or inconsistent information, with limited computational capability related to Internet of Things (IoT). This special issue aims to address the machine learning techniques, recent developments in diverse IoT data, services and applications as well as theoretical studies. Besides, we can consider that machine learning re-enforcement paradigms and predictive learning algorithms are more applicable to IoT datasets, time series data from IoT devices with sensor fusion and streaming. Further, it is important to make a note that machine learning systems and optimization techniques has not been adequately investigated from the perspective of IoT data and services (Quality of Services) and its related research issues in industrial applications. Furthermore, there are many noteworthy QoS metrics (system life time, latency, quality, delay, bandwidth and throughput) that need to be addressed in the view of machine learning algorithms with relate to IoT data and services. Obviously, these challenges also create immense opportunities for researchers. For the aforementioned reasons, this special issue focuses to address comprehensive nature of machine learning and to emphasize its character in modelling, identification, optimization, prediction, forecasting, and control of future IoT systems for industrial systems. Submissions should be original, unpublished, and present in-depth fundamental research contributions either from a methodological/application perspective in understanding machine learning approaches and their capabilities in solving diverse range of problems in IoT and its real-world industrial applications.
