Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid urbanization of modern cities demands some essential steps to build a sustainable environment, such as innovative, data-driven solutions to point out the critical challenges in energy management, traffic optimization, and public safety. Artificial Intelligence is one of the fastest-growing technologies to evolve the Internet of Things (IoT), and sensors play a crucial role as an essential part. Sensors can link and merge different elements to create a smart worldwide network. This collection brings together cutting-edge research on IoT sensors, wireless sensor networks, and IoT applications across various domains. IoT integrates heterogeneous sensor communication protocols and intelligent data processing techniques, enabling applications in healthcare, automation, smart city monitoring, and other sectors. The growth of IoT-based networks brings lots of challenges in terms of scalability, security, privacy, energy efficiency, and reliability. To address these challenges, the Special Issue invites a combination of innovations in sensing hardware, data fusion, cloud computing, and beyond.
This Special Issue invites novel research and review articles on recent advancements in IoT-based sensor networks. The goal is to highlight both theoretical and practical implementations that push the boundaries of IoT-enabled sensing technologies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sensor interoperability and standardization in the IoT ecosystem.
- Blockchain-enabled trust models for IoT sensing.
- Low-power wide area network (LPWAN) and protocols for large-scale IoT sensing.
- AI/ML-driven sensing data fusion in IoT applications.
- IoT in a sustainable environment.
- Healthcare in an AI-based IoT network.
- Healthcare and biomedical IoT sensing systems.
- Digital twins and virtual sensing for IoT applications.
- Privacy-preserving techniques for sensing IoT data.
- Distributed AI for edge-based cloud computing in sensor networks.
- New designs for low-power sensors.
- Innovations in sensor fabrication and materials.
- Hardware security for IoT devices.
- Integration of edge computing with sensing hardware.
