Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become the key component for designing smart applications. As the wireless technology is growing rapidly, people are seeking smart solutions for the daily life, such as smart home, smart city, smart education, smart healthcare, smart shopping, etc. IoT refers to a created computing environment, where uniquely identifiable embedded devices are connected within an existing Internet infrastructure. In IoT, several sensors and actuators are used for collecting the status of various types of objects including environmental parameters, living, and non-living objects, and the collected data are analysed for controlling and accessing the objects remotely. In the traditional IoT paradigm, the collected data were stored and analysed inside the cloud. However, the use of remote cloud increases the delay, and raises other issues such requirement of high bandwidth, seamless network connectivity, security, network traffic, high energy consumption, etc. To deal with these issues, edge and fog computing come into the picture. The use of fog computing allows to use the intermediate devices such as switch, router, etc., between the end node and cloud, for partial data processing before forwarding to the cloud, and reduces the delay. Mobile edge computing brings the resources at the network edge and reduces the delay. This Special Issue focuses on the original, unpublished, and high-quality research papers on applications of IoT in distributed computing and mobile edge computing.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- energy-efficient Internet of Health Things;
- resource management for IoT applications;
- eco-friendly smart transport design using IoT;
- eco-friendly smart traffic management using IoT;
- eco-friendly smart city using IoT;
- green home automation using IoT;
- quality of service-aware offloading strategies for IoT applications.
