Internet of People (IoP) represents the mapping of social individuals that refer to people as cyber entities. It focuses on data collection, modeling, and ubiquitous intelligence for a wide range of applications of crowd sourced, Internet-based personal information. The rise of wearable/implant technologies and personal/body area networks has successfully bridged the physical and cyber worlds. Together with these, the emerging social computing and brain science will allow further incorporation of the social and mental worlds into the so-called Hyper World. Due to the pervasiveness of IoP and its impacts on human activity, it has quickly emerged as a hot and important interdisciplinary field.

The 4th IEEE International Conference on Internet of People (IoP 2018) is a premier forum for sharing theoretical, experimental and operational results in the relevant fields. The first IoP was held in 2015 in Beijing, China, and was a great success. The subsequent IoP 2016 and IoP 2017 were also successfully held in Toulouse, France, and San Francisco Bay Area, USA. We welcome original papers presenting the latest research findings and applications on a wide range of IoP topics.
