Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of intelligent computational technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), as a pervasive paradigm connecting the real world with the cyber world through heterogeneous devices, has shown great advances in many fields, such as wireless telecommunications, digital health, and industrial automation. However, challenges have also emerged in data management, processing, and storage, presenting a need to develop advanced computing paradigms to meet the ever-increasing number of data resources in IoT development.

Traditional cloud computing has shown its limits of latency and link congestion when transferring large amounts of data. Therefore, fog and edge computing concepts have been proposed for the collection, analysis, and processing of data closer to sensor devices. However, there are still series of challenging problems in the integration, efficiency, and security of cloud/fog/edge computing in the Internet of Things.

This Special Issue focuses on advanced research regarding advanced cloud/fog/edge computing technologies in the Internet of Things. Researchers are welcome to present original research on the latest findings related to current trends and challenges in the cloud/fog/edge computing architectures, protocols, designs, and frameworks for future IoT. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Cloud/fog/edge computing architectures and protocols for IoT;
  • Resource allocation in cloud/fog/edge computing for IoT;
  • Green cloud/fog/edge computing;
  • Cloud/fog/edge computing in connected vehicles, intelligent manufacturing, and smart cities;
  • Communication technologies in cloud/fog/edge computing for IoT;
  • The integration of fog/edge computing with cloud computing for IoT;
  • The modeling and performance analysis of cloud/fog/edge computing for IoT;
  • Computing and network convergence (CNC) paradigms/issues.

Fog Computing (FC) was introduced to offer resources closer to the users. Researchers propose different solutions to make FC mature and use simulators for evaluating their solutions at early stages. In this paper, we compare different FC simulators based on their technical and non-technical characteristics. In addition, a practical comparison is conducted to compare the three main FC simulators based on their performance such as execution time, CPU, and memory usage for running different applications. The analysis can be helpful for researchers to select the appropriate simulator and platform to evaluate their solutions on different use cases. Furthermore, open issues and challenges for FC simulators are discussed that require attention and need to be addressed in the future. Full article

In applications of the Internet of Things (IoT), where many devices are connected for a specific purpose, data is continuously collected, communicated, processed, and stored between the nodes. However, all connected nodes have strict constraints, such as battery usage, communication throughput, processing power, processing business, and storage limitations. The high number of constraints and nodes makes the standard methods to regulate them useless. Hence, using machine learning approaches to manage them better is attractive. In this study, a new framework for data management of IoT applications is designed and implemented. The framework is called MLADCF (Machine Learning Analytics-based Data Classification Framework). It is a two-stage framework that combines a regression model and a Hybrid Resource Constrained KNN (HRCKNN). It learns from the analytics of real scenarios of the IoT application. The description of the Framework parameters, the training procedure, and the application in real scenarios are detailed. MLADCF has shown proven efficiency by testing on four different datasets compared to existing approaches. Moreover, it reduced the global energy consumption of the network, leading to an extended battery life of the connected nodes. Full article
