CollaborateCom 2012 received 110 submissions. Every submission received at least two reviews with most receiving three reviews. The review process was followed by extensive online discussions for selecting the final set of papers for the conference. The final program had 26 full research papers, 19 application papers and 9 invited papers. Based on the paper topics, review feedback from the program committee members, follow up discussions among PC members, and discussions with sessions chairs at the conference, a further selection, a further selection of these papers have been made for this special issue of the Mobile Networks and Applications journal. These papers were substantially extended and have gone through one more round of review, and three of them have been included in this special issue.
