Artificial Intelligence in Internet of Things: Challenges and Opportunities

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet-of-Things is growing fast and is intended to become a key technology of our near future. In a similar way, the availability of high-performance computers has led to a rebirth of neural techniques, thus bringing machine learning and neural networks a technology that can be really used in day-to-day life. In addition, today the market offers a high number of microcontrollers (MCUs) and embedded platforms featuring high performances and making them able to host “intelligence” in a very small space and with low power consumption.

Given these premises, this special issue aims at gathering contributions in recent researches dealing with challenges and opportunities relevant to the use of artificial intelligence techniques in the Internet-of-Things world. Topics are but not limited to:

• Distributed artificial intelligence systems for the IoT
• Platforms, middlewares and programming languages for Intelligent IoT systems
• Multi-Agent systems in the context of IoT
• Learning and neural network techniques for embedded platforms or MCUs
• Logic-based AI for embedded platforms or MCUs
• Power consumption minimization in the context of AI techniques for embedded platforms or MCUs
• Low power network protocols for intelligent IoT systems

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
