Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have made interoperability possible, such that everyday devices at home, in the city, hospitals, educational institutes and industries can be networked to give the inhabitants new and unexpected possibilities. Particularly, the high penetration rate of the Intelligent Internet of Things (IIoTs) paradigm in every environment allows for the introduction of the new concepts of “Intelligent home, Intelligent/Smart city, Intelligent e-Health, Intelligent e-learning and Intelligent/smart industries”. Thanks to the latest sensor technologies and Distributed Computing, the theological environment monitors everything to improve their overall quality of life.

International Data Corporation (IDC) research estimates that by 2025, there will be more than 41.6 billion connected IoT devices, and that the amount of data produced by these devices will increase at an annual growth rate of 28.7% between 2018 and 2025. Thus, it is essential that we establish methods to handle the enormous amounts of heterogeneous data generated by IoT devices and to integrate and scale the applications that run distributed computing components, systems, and platforms.

Therefore, Distributed Computing (DC) applications along with the IoT field are essential technical directions that enable e-health, hospitals/intelligent homes/cities, intelligent industries, intelligent supply chains, automation, and a variety of other computing and networking environments.

How to design efficient system architectures, transmission strategies, and protocols for DC-based IoT and how to efficiently analyze and evaluate the system performance are important issues to address. This Special Issue intends to collect research from academia and industry, with an emphasis on addressing all these topics and inviting contributions from worldwide leading researchers. Both original research and review articles are welcome.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  1. Quality of Experience/Quality of Service for IIoT-based DC.
  2. Cloud, edge, fog, and dew computing for IIoT.
  3. Networked computing architectures and infrastructures for IIoT-based DC.
  4. Location Aware/Energy-efficient solutions for IIoT-based DC.
  5. Mobility management in DC.
  6. Security, Privacy, and Trust in scalable DC.
  7. Transmission strategies in IIoT-based DC.
  8. Resource allocation in IIoT-based DC.
  9. Advances in Soft-computing for DC-based IIoT Applications.
  10. Offloading/Pre-Push strategies in DC-based IIoT.
  11. New data collection schemes and enhanced monitoring using DC.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly important due to the ability to collect data in real time and monitor the performance of systems. In this sense, the objective of the project is to create an IoT system to monitor and enhance red boll worm farming conditions in California as part of a strategy to diversify annelid-based goods. Therefore, the goal is to expand this animal’s productivity so that additional items can be made from California red worms. Furthermore, the method used implies a research design that uses an experimental approach to obtain data based on the variable conditions identified in the literature review. The analysis of the data will allow determination of the factors that result in optimization of production, and at the same time creation of a production estimation in the network platform. Finally, this project proposes to facilitate the monitoring and control of the variables that interfere in the earthworm reproduction process to increase the production of annelids in pursuit of product diversification. In addition, we put it into practice in real life to demonstrate its applicability and efficacy. In this mode, the results indicate potential findings about IoT application in agriculture situations.

The world we live in today is becoming increasingly less tethered, with many applications depending on wireless signals to ensure safety and security. Proactive security measures can help prevent the loss of property due to actions such as larceny/theft and burglary. An IoT-based smart Surveillance System for High-Security Areas (SS-HSA) has been developed to address this issue effectively. This system utilizes a Gravity Microwave Sensor (GMS), which is highly effective due to its ability to penetrate nonmetallic obstructions. Combining GMS with Arduino UNO is a highly effective technique for detecting suspected objects behind walls. The GMS can also be integrated with the global system for mobile (GSM) communications, making it an IoT-based solution. The SS-HSA system utilizes machine learning AI algorithms operating at a GMS frequency to analyze and calculate accuracy, precision, F1-Scores, and Recall. After a thorough evaluation, it was determined that the Random Forest Classifier achieved an accuracy rate of 95%, while the Gradient Boost Classifier achieved an accuracy rate of 94%. The Naïve Bayes Classifier followed closely behind with a rate of 93%, while the K Nearest Neighbor and Support Vector Machine both achieved an accuracy rate of 96%. Finally, the Decision Tree algorithm outperformed the others in terms of accuracy, presenting a value of 97%. Furthermore, in the studied machine learning AI algorithms, it was observed that the Decision Tree was optimal for SS-HSA. Full article
