Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advancements in the state-of-the-art technologies for smart cities have enabled IT-based infrastructure that can support civilians where required, as well as efficiently manage diverse components. They include the collection of diverse sensor data and the monitoring and management of community services. Specifically, in the aspects of sustainability, systems for smart cites should meet requirements such as real-time processing, high reliability, high fault tolerance, high security and privacy, and high quality of service.

This Special Issue solicits the submission of high-quality unpublished review and research articles that aim at addressing technical issues and challenges associated with IoT technology for sustainable smart cities of the future. Submitted papers should emphasize the development of IoT technology and focus on the performance evaluation and comparison using existing standards and practices. Both theoretical and experimental studies on practical applications are encouraged. We welcome all researchers to consider technological advances in IoT and the integration of interdisciplinary engineering/science technologies, and further, to contribute to sustainable growth.

Topics could include, but are not limited to:

  • Sustainable IoT technology for smart cities;
  • Machine and deep learning algorithms in smart cities;
  • Security and privacy in smart grids;
  • Data analytics and data-driven applications for sustainability in smart cities;
  • Challenges of innovation and technology management for smart cities;
  • Sustainable methodologies, models, and information systems for technology commercialization;
  • Smart cities services and applications;
  • Any subjects relevant to sustainability in IoT technology innovation management.

Industry 4.0 is evolving through technological advancements, leveraging information technology to enhance industry with digitalisation and intelligent activities. Whereas Industry 5.0 is the Age of Augmentation, striving to concentrate on human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience of the intelligent factories and synergetic industry. The crucial enhancer for the improvements accomplished by digital transformation is the notion of ‘digital triplet D3’, which is an augmentation of the digital twin with artificial intelligence, human ingenuity, and experience. digital triplet D3 encompasses intelligent activities based on human awareness and the convergence among cyberspace, physical space, and humans, in which Implementing useful reference hierarchy is a crucial part of instigating Industry 5.0 into a reality. This paper depicts a digital triplet which discloses the potency of retrofitting a conventional drilling machine. This hierarchy included the perceptive level for complex decision-making by deploying machine learning based on human ingenuity and creativity, the concatenated level for controlling the physical system’s behaviour predictions and emulation, the observing level is the iterative observation of the actual behaviour of the physical system using real-time data, and the duplicating level visualises and emulates virtual features through physical tasks. The accomplishment demonstrated the viability of the hierarchy in imitating the real-time functionality of the physical system in cyberspace, an immaculate performance of this paradigm. The digital triplet’s complexity was diminished through the interaction among facile digital twins, intelligent activities, and human awareness. The performance parameters of the digital triplet D3 paradigm for retrofitting were eventually confirmed through appraising, anomaly analysis, and real-time monitoring. Full article
