Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of algorithmic and artificial intelligence represents unprecedented opportunities for modern computing. This Special Issue addresses the critical integration of advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) methods with smart IoT ecosystems, focusing on challenges in resource-constrained environments, real-time processing, and distributed collaboration.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case studies demonstrating novel algorithmic approaches and AI methods with proven effectiveness in real-world IoT scenarios. Submissions should address scalability, energy efficiency, data privacy preservation, and practical applicability while providing rigorous evaluation and comparative analysis. Topics of interest include but are not limited to
- Lightweight algorithms and AI methods for edge IoT devices;
- Distributed optimization and federated learning frameworks;
- Real-time data analytics in resource-constrained environments;
- Edge-cloud collaborative intelligence architectures;
- Anomaly detection and predictive analytics for IoT networks;
- AI-driven cybersecurity and privacy-preserving algorithms and AI methods;
- Application-specific solutions for smart cities, industrial IoT, healthcare monitoring, environmental sensing, etc.
