Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

According to Gesi Smarter2030, ICT Solutions will help to address the 21st century challenges. This is particularly true for the IoT, which emerges as a pivotal enabler for smart and sustainable technologies in the following application domains: resilient and sustainable smart cities; smart energy to decarbonize the energy sector through improved grid efficiency and energy mix management; smart agriculture to increase crop yield and reduce food loss and wastage; smart buildings to improve smart asset management through more efficient operations, automation of processes, and building control services; smart health that fosters ‘connectedness’ among health professionals and patients via remote patient monitoring, provision of remote healthcare services, and creates ‘borderless hospitals’; smart businesses to provide smarter, efficient, and sustainable customer-centric services; smart manufacturing that will support ‘connected’ manufacturing that will tremendously transform traditional factories; smart transportation for efficient traffic management, improved road safety, and the creation of connected vehicles on the road; smart security for surveillance, malware, and intrusion detection, as well as prevention; smart digital twin for facilities management; etc. This Special Issue calls for smart and sustainable IoT-related research (systematic review, position, theoretical, or applied). Other areas of interest will be IoT infrastructure, IoT architecture, industrial IoT (IIOT), next-generation IoT (NGIOT), intelligent IoT, IoT systems and standards, IoT intelligent connectivity and platforms, IoT and AI strategies, and the IoT and circular economy.

The occurrence of disasters has the potential to impede the progress of sustainable urban development. For instance, it has the potential to result in significant human casualties and substantial economic repercussions. Sustainable cities, as outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12, prioritize the objective of disaster risk reduction. According to the Gesi Smarter 2030, the Internet of Things (IoT) assumes a pivotal role in the context of smart cities, particularly in domains including smart grids, smart waste management, and smart transportation. IoT has emerged as a crucial facilitator for the management of disasters, contributing to the development of cities that are both resilient and sustainable. This systematic literature analysis seeks to demonstrate the sensors utilized in IoT for the purpose of urban catastrophe management. The review encompasses both the pre-disaster and post-disaster stages, drawing from a total of 72 articles. During each stage, we presented the characteristics of sensors employed in IoT. Additionally, we engaged in a discourse regarding the various communication technologies and protocols that can be utilized for the purpose of transmitting the data obtained from sensors. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the methodology for analyzing and implementing the data within the application layer of IoT. In conclusion, this study addresses the existing research deficiencies within the literature and presents potential avenues for future exploration in the realm of IoT-enabled urban catastrophe management, drawing upon the findings of the evaluated publications.
