Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart cities use digital technologies and data to support decisions and improve quality of life. They use smart technologies to better understand current conditions, predict future changes, optimize city functions, and provide better services. Sensors and actuators stand at the centre of this change. The inherent Internet of Things (IoT) architecture may impact the following applications: management of parking lots, waste management, traffic control, street lighting, utility meters and energy infrastructure, and health monitoring at home. The software and communication modules for the management of IoT infrastructure are interesting for the mentioned applications and deserve dedicated studies. The convergence of broadband deployment and emerging machine intelligence has also spurred interest in those solutions. Green deployment of the technology, together with key performance indicators of energy saving, is one of the topical challenges of IoT for smart cities. Energy harvesting/micro-power management solutions for IoT edge devices are of interest to enable retrofitted sensors to undertake condition monitoring in the mentioned smart environments.
This Special Issue calls for papers on the mentioned topics, with a specific focus on IoT technologies. Application domains in addition to those mentioned above may also include, but are not limited to, the following: video analytics monitoring, operational automation to support multimodal freight, and better infrastructure safety on urban and secondary rural roads with the combination of adaptable monitoring and maintenance solutions. Since the forthcoming management and control of IoT applications need increasing levels of autonomy, papers that explore artificial intelligence are also welcome.
We request contributions presenting techniques (methods, tools, ideas, or even market evaluations) that contribute to the future roadmap of IoT in smart cities. We welcome papers that combine both the control and communication of IoT devices. Support for requirements of IoT applications as well as real-world scenarios is also welcome. Technically sound empirical experience, scientifically founded innovative and speculative research lines, and tutorial dissertations are relevant for proposal and evaluation.
Particular interest is devoted to ongoing research projects involving the trustworthiness of AI in cyber-physical systems, such as Horizon-EU REXASI-PRO (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101070028).
