Internet and its associated technologies are found to be essential for societies and economy worldwide. The most recent form of the Internet is so-called the Next Generation Internet (NGI). NGI has lately become a buzz word – evolved rapidly from the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of People (IoP) in 2008, to more sophisticated developments in software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), 5G and the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)/Industry 4.0 in 2018. Put simply, it is an experimentation-based ecosystem for innovation, which relies on the notion of Network Infrastructure on Demand to gain immersive societal experience. It adopts loads of cutting-edge technologies such as edge computing, trust and security, AI, IoT, Open and linked big data, blockchain and AR/VR. Thus, many global initiatives investigated practical approaches for measuring, exploring and systematically designing the NGI, to be more open, efficient, scalable, and reliable (e.g., BonFIRE, FED4FIRE, CONFINE Connected Communities, and Smart City Canberra). Notwithstanding, the foremost concern of NGI is related to security and privacy, lack of trust, lack of interoperability, loss of memory/heritage.

The aim of this special issue is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and individuals working on relevant research areas to share their latest accomplishments and research findings within the research community.

The special issue aims to cover topics that include, but not limited to, the below topics:

- Citizen-to-Citizen
- Internet Community-based infrastructure
- Security of Future Internet
- Privacy in Next Generation Internet
- Trustworthiness of NGI
- Interoperability
- Network infrastructure on demand
- Immersive experience
- Digital economy Digital society
