Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern sensing technologies have a wide range of applications in various industries, including agriculture, medicine, medical devices, manufacturing, aerospace, automobiles, and infrastructure. Over the past few years, machine learning, big data, and artificial intelligence have increasingly been applied to analyze sensor-generated data for the development of intelligent sensors. This Special Issue will focus on novel industrial sensors, biosensors, wearable sensors, and wireless sensors, as well as machine-learning- and artificial-intelligence-enabled sensing systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Machine-learning-guided biosensing;
  • Data-driven manufacturing process monitoring;
  • Artificial-intelligence-assisted structural health monitoring;
  • Biosensors and wearable sensors for smart healthcare applications;
  • Wireless and embedded sensors for real-time condition monitoring.

In order to meet the latest requirements for sensor quality test in the industry, the sample sensor needs to be placed in the medium for the cold and hot shock test. However, the existing environmental test chamber cannot effectively control the temperature of the sample in the medium. This paper designs a control method based on the support vector machine (SVM) classification algorithm and K-means clustering combined with neural network correction. When testing sensors in a medium, the clustering SVM classification algorithm is used to distribute the control voltage corresponding to temperature conditions. At the same time, the neural network is used to constantly correct the temperature to reduce overshoot during the temperature-holding phase. Eventually, overheating or overcooling of the basket space indirectly controls the rapid rise or decrease in the temperature of the sensor in the medium. The test results show that this method can effectively control the temperature of the sensor in the medium to reach the target temperature within 15 min and stabilize when the target temperature is between 145 °C and −40 °C. The steady-state error is less than 0.31 °C in the high-temperature area and less than 0.39 °C in the low-temperature area, which well solves the dilemma of the current cold and hot shock test.

The design and management of smart cities and the IoT is a multidimensional problem. One of those dimensions is cloud and edge computing management. Due to the complexity of the problem, resource sharing is one of the vital and major components that when enhanced, the performance of the whole system is enhanced. Research in data access and storage in multi-clouds and edge servers can broadly be classified to data centers and computational centers. The main aim of data centers is to provide services for accessing, sharing and modifying large databases. On the other hand, the aim of computational centers is to provide services for sharing resources. Present and future distributed applications need to deal with very large multi-petabyte datasets and increasing numbers of associated users and resources. The emergence of IoT-based, multi-cloud systems as a potential solution for large computational and data management problems has initiated significant research activity in the area. Due to the considerable increase in data production and data sharing within scientific communities, the need for improvements in data access and data availability cannot be overlooked. It can be argued that the current approaches of large dataset management do not solve all problems associated with big data and large datasets. The heterogeneity and veracity of big data require careful management. One of the issues for managing big data in a multi-cloud system is the scalability and expendability of the system under consideration. Data replication ensures server load balancing, data availability and improved data access time. The proposed model minimises the cost of data services through minimising a cost function that takes storage cost, host access cost and communication cost into consideration. The relative weights between different components is learned through history and it is different from a cloud to another. The model ensures that data are replicated in a way that increases availability while at the same time decreasing the overall cost of data storage and access time. Using the proposed model avoids the overheads of the traditional full replication techniques. The proposed model is mathematically proven to be sound and valid. Full article

State-of-health (SOH) is a measure of a battery’s capacity in comparison to its rated capacity. Despite numerous data-driven algorithms being developed to estimate battery SOH, they are often ineffective in handling time series data, as they are unable to utilize the most significant portion of a time series while predicting SOH. Furthermore, current data-driven algorithms are often unable to learn a health index, which is a measurement of the battery’s health condition, to capture capacity degradation and regeneration. To address these issues, we first present an optimization model to obtain a health index of a battery, which accurately captures the battery’s degradation trajectory and improves SOH prediction accuracy. Additionally, we introduce an attention-based deep learning algorithm, where an attention matrix, referring to the significance level of a time series, is developed to enable the predictive model to use the most significant portion of a time series for SOH prediction. Our numerical results demonstrate that the presented algorithm provides an effective health index and can precisely predict the SOH of a battery. Full article
