Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Fourth International Symposium on Sensor-Cloud Systems (SCS 2020, http://www.spaccs.org/SCS2020/) will be held in Nanjing, China, Oct. 23-25, 2020. Moreover, the 18th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (IEEE EUC 2020) and the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE 2020) will be held in Guangzhou, China, November 10-13, 2020.
This Topical Collection is cooperating with SCS 2020, EUC 2020 and CSE 2020. Authors of outstanding papers related to sensors presented at these conferences are invited to submit extended versions of their work to the Topical Collection for publication.
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Cloud Computing have received tremendous attentions from both academia and industry, as they are emerging to own numerous exciting applications in Internet of Things and smart cities, which can fundamentally change the way people interacting with the physical world.
However, there are still challenges need to be addressed in order to accelerate the development of these integrated systems. First of all, current techniques of Cloud Computing cannot satisfy the real-time requirement. The cloud cannot respond to sensors’ emergency requests. Second, the communication from sensors to cloud is a big problem, because sensors are with low bandwidth and low energy supplies. Third, as sensors are weak in processing and communication abilities, it is difficult for the cloud to guarantee the stability of the connection or even tolerate errors in that data. Finally, when sensors upload data to cloud for storage, how to ensure the data security and privacy in the cloud environment is a big problem.
Compared with Cloud Computing, Fog/Edge Computing is a promising technique for Sensor-Cloud systems. Fog/Edge Computing is proposed to enable computing directly at the edge of networks, delivering applications and services especially for IoT or smart cities. These fog devices, called fog nodes, have some local computation and storage capacity, wide geo-distribution like sensors and support for mobility. They can be industrial controllers, switches, routers, embedded servers and video surveillance cameras, and can be deployed anywhere with network connections. Serving as a link between sensor networks and the cloud, the fog can process and store data near where they are produced, and then manage and control sensors in a short distance. In this way, Fog/Edge Computing can extend Cloud Computing and cover its shortage in smart sensing system.
