AI and Big Data in Internet of Things: Collection, Management and Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The world has changed. New technologies, trends, protocols, efficient algorithms, and systems have been widely adopted by developed countries to enable better and more convenient living. As applications based on the “Internet of Things” (IoT) have been widespread in every sector, many studies have provided useful information about new trends regarding the IoT, the issues that they cause, some solutions that already exist, and various challenges that need to be overcome in order to benefit from Internet technology.

Moreover, “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) is a technological advancement providing solutions to various issues. Such solutions are based on the efficient preprocessing and analysis of Big Data, although they can involve algorithms with high complexity.

This Special Issue aims to compile high-quality review papers on applied informatics. We encourage contributions from researchers in various disciplines within the journal’s scope that highlight the latest developments in AI, the IoT, and Big Data in their field. Alternatively, you may invite relevant experts and colleagues to do so.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Big Data delivery in the Internet of Artificially Intelligent Things;
• Big Data management and analytics for various applications;
• AI and Machine Learning applications;
• AI in the IoT for sustainable Big Data management;
• AI-driven UAV communications for time-critical IoT applications;
• AI and ML for Autonomous Vehicles;
• Efficient data delivery and analytics in various applications;
• Intelligent Decision Systems for the IoT.
