Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are preparing a Special Issue of Sustainability focused on 'Internet of Things (IoT) for Preventive Conservation of Cultural Heritage'.
In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has proven to be particularly suitable to support the conservation of Cultural Heritage (CH). IoT can offer a wide range of technologies and approaches to serve different purposes at different levels, from the monitoring of individual objects to the complete monitoring of buildings.
IoT could be key to simplify the practical application of current standards of preventive conservation or to predict the degradation of objects based on the information gathered.
Furthermore, real-time IoT approaches could be crucial to minimize the impact of humans (tourism, vandalism, etc.) and accidents (fires, water leaks, etc.), thus contributing to both short- and long-term conservation.
The purpose of this Special Issue of Sustainability is to collect and discuss recent advances in the Internet of Things applied to any aspect of Cultural Heritage conservation, including topics such as but not limited to:
- IoT applied to the sustainability of Cultural Heritage
- Wireless technologies election for Cultural Heritage site monitoring
- Climatic change monitoring applied to Cultural Heritage
- RFID technologies applied to Cultural Heritage
- Applicability of preventive conservation standards using IoT
- IoT applied to the impact of tourism on Cultural Heritage sites
- IoT collected data valorization. Big data analytics
- Machine learning/artificial intelligence applied to preservation of Cultural Heritage
- IoT applied to disaster mitigation in CH buildings
- IoT to anticipate threats in Cultural Heritage
- Structural monitoring of historical buildings
- IoT applied to conservation of archaeological heritage at risk
