Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the frontiers of the Internet of Things (IoT), examining its exciting advancements and its transformative impact on monitoring across various sectors. It explores the diverse applications of IoT devices and sensor networks in real-time data collection and analysis, highlighting their potential in revolutionizing how we monitor everything from critical infrastructure and environmental conditions to human health and industrial processes. It recognizes the immense value of IoT-enabled monitoring in optimizing operations; improving efficiency, convenience, and sustainability; and fostering data-driven decision making. The Special Issue examines the diverse applications of IoT in monitoring various aspects of our living environment, including, among others, smart home automation, personalized healthcare, traffic management, environmental monitoring, or waste monitoring.
However, the Special Issue also recognizes the critical cybersecurity challenges associated with large-scale IoT deployments. It explores potential vulnerabilities in smart homes and cities, such as unsecured devices and data privacy concerns.
This Special Issue serves as a comprehensive resource for elucidating the current state and future directions of IoT in monitoring applications, paving the way for further innovation and exploration in this rapidly evolving field. We encourage submissions of articles that propose innovative solutions, experiments, high-impact advances, and findings in relation to IoT applications in monitoring, as well as insights into the current state of IoT applications in monitoring encompassing diverse areas.
