Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is one of the leading application domains of the Internet of Things (IoT) and a driving application area for information and communication systems. The recent efforts of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) demonstrate the importance of the IIoT.

The 4th Industrial revolution is actually based on the Industrial Internet of Things as one of its enablers. Its emerging paradigm includes a multitude of diverse smart devices and embedded systems being interconnected and seamlessly communicating their data, to be analyzed either at the edge or on the cloud, and feeding artificial intelligence algorithms. This paradigm is gradually enforced in a plethora of application domains comprising manufacturing, the monitoring and control of critical infrastructure, smart energy, smart buildings and cities, and e-health.

Especially in the context of smart buildings and cities, the deployment of IIoT infrastructure will enable the convergence of information technology and operational technology, while addressing issues related to the design, operation and assurance of complex cyberphysical systems of systems. Buildings and cities will become better connected, smarter, innovative, interconnected and self-learning ecosystems. Smart cities are viewed as systems of systems, transcending the silos approach to their different application domains and resulting in advanced services and enhanced quality of life.

In the context of the Special Issue, paper submissions related to the application of the Industrial Internet of Things are welcome, especially in the smart buildings and smart cities domains. The purpose is to contribute to the wider literature offering a holistic consideration of the convergence of cyberphysical systems and the Industrial Internet of Things.

In recent years, the identification of water leak detection methods has entered a wide range of fields. Pipeline failures in water distribution networks lead to the loss of a considerable amount of high-quality water. Different monitoring methods are often used to identify the failing infrastructure, which is subsequently maintained. Increased pressures on a fast-expanding water supply network needs the development of better leak detection technologies, particularly for use in smart building applications. This paper offers a detailed examination of water leak detection methods, intending to determine the state-of-the-art approaches and make recommendations for future research. It is designed to demonstrate smart buildings, but it may also be utilized in another similar context. This review concludes that, despite prior achievements, there is still much room for improvement, particularly in the domain of real-time models for earlier leak detection methods in building automation. These models should enable the integration of leakage detection, evaluation, and control system that, with minimal human interaction, may be customized for efficient leakage detection in real-world circumstances.
