Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the past decade, with the advancement of ICT communication technology, Industry 4.0 has also transformed from manual control processes to automatic control processes. However, with the rise of Industry 4.0, it also drives the development of related research topics such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, big data analysis, intelligent manufacturing, digital twin, cognitive intelligence and cyber-physical systems. Industry 4.0 also integrates ICT technologies to efficiently provide manufacturers and supply chain manufacturers with solutions and improve productivity to build smart factories.

 However, at present, smart factories are not only related to the acquisition of production data and the digitization of related manufacturing processes, but also have a direct impact on the evolution of production lines and upstream and downstream supply chains. Most smart factories are based on the IIoT architecture framework model.  Through IIoT model, smart factories can build heterogeneous network sensing devices and related networks (sensors, embedded computers, RFID tags, edge computing networks, mobile devices) to convey sensored information.  Based on IoT information sensing and big data processing technology, IIoT can improve the time efficiency, scalability, interconnectivity, cost-effectiveness, security and operational efficiency of the IoT-based architecture. Under such a framework, an industrial automation feedback information system can be constructed through an intelligent network connection. With the rapid development of this field, knowledge interaction between manufacturers and stakeholders to drive new trends and challenges in the Industrial Internet of Things is a major issue. Therefore, we invite colleagues from the research community to share their innovative contributions to the Industrial Internet of Things. Special attention but not limited to:

  • Developing and new methodology and architectures for IoT;
  • Digital Twin system design and new models for Industry 4.0;
  • Cloud-based solutions for IIoT;
  • Machine-Learning-based on smart IIoT solutions;
  • Data-mining techniques for IIoT industry 4.0;
  • Smart IIoT solutions;
  • Big data analysis and data process optimization in industry 4.0;
  • Cyber-physical system design and new models;
  • Performance, scalability, and reliability in the IIoT;
  • Data security and privacy aspects in the IIoT;
  • Standard, platforms, testbed, and validation for the IIoT;
  • IIoT for regulatory and supervisory control systems.

Internet of Health Things plays a vital role in day-to-day life by providing electronic healthcare services and has the capacity to increase the quality of patient care. Internet of Health Things (IoHT) devices and applications have been growing rapidly in recent years, becoming extensively vulnerable to cyber-attacks since the devices are small and heterogeneous. In addition, it is doubly significant when IoHT involves devices used in healthcare domain. Consequently, it is essential to develop a resilient cyber-attack detection system in the Internet of Health Things environment for mitigating the security risks and preventing Internet of Health Things devices from becoming exposed to cyber-attacks. Artificial intelligence plays a primary role in anomaly detection. In this paper, a deep neural network-based cyber-attack detection system is built by employing artificial intelligence on latest ECU-IoHT dataset to uncover cyber-attacks in Internet of Health Things environment. The proposed deep neural network system achieves average higher performance accuracy of 99.85%, an average area under receiver operator characteristic curve 0.99 and the false positive rate is 0.01. It is evident from the experimental result that the proposed system attains higher detection rate than the existing methods. Full article

Experiments have proven that traditional prediction research methods have limitations in practice. Proposing countermeasures for environmental changes is the key to optimal control of the cold chain environment and reducing the lag of control effects. In this paper, a cold chain transportation environment prediction method, combining k-means++ and a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network, is proposed according to the characteristics of the cold chain transportation environment of agricultural products. The proposed prediction model can predict the trend of cold chain environment changes in the next ten minutes, which allows cold chain vehicle managers to issue control instructions to the environmental control equipment in advance. The fusion process for temperature and humidity data measured by multiple data sensors is performed with the k-means++ algorithm, and then the fused data are fed into an LSTM neural network for prediction based on time series. The prediction error of the prediction model proposed in this paper is very satisfactory, with a root-mean-square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and R-squared of 0.5707, 0.2484, 0.3258, 0.0312 and 0.9660, respectively, for temperature prediction, and with an RMSE, MAE, MSE, mean absolute percentage error and R-squared of 1.6015, 1.1770, 2.5648, 0.2736 and 0.9702, respectively, for humidity prediction. Finally, the LSTM neural network and back propagation (BP) neural network are compared in order to enhance the reliability of the results. In terms of the prediction effect of the temperature and humidity in cold chain vehicles transporting agricultural products, the proposed model has a higher prediction accuracy than that of existing models and can provide strategic support for the fine management and regulation of the cold chain transportation environment.
