Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of the Intelligent Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has revolutionized industrial ecosystems by seamlessly integrating machines, devices, sensors, and actuators with digital platforms, communication networks, and data-driven applications. This integration—underpinned by key enabling technologies such as low-power sensing, edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and advanced connectivity—has led to an unprecedented expansion in industrial use cases.
However, this rapid technological advancement has also highlighted a growing disconnect between academic research and industrial practice. In many cases, the methods, tools, and knowledge shared in academic environments lag behind or diverge from the evolving needs of industry. Addressing this asymmetry is crucial to ensure that the next generation of professionals, researchers, and innovators are equipped with skills and insights relevant to real-world challenges.
This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry by presenting cutting-edge research, practical applications, and visionary perspectives in the field of Intelligent Industrial IoT. We welcome original research articles that explore both theoretical foundations and practical advancements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Training methods for Intelligent IoT systems;
- Artificial intelligence integration in IIoT applications;
- Intelligent acoustic monitoring via IoT;
- Edge and fog computing for industrial use;
- On-device signal processing;
- Cybersecure IoT domains;
- IoT for naturalized environments (nature-based solutions);
- Real-world industrial challenges;
- Quantum networking applications in IoT;
- Data-driven applications for IoT;
- Intelligent Industrial IoT for health;
- Web of Things and Intelligent Industrial Internet of Things.
