Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we delve into the transformative potential and multifaceted challenges of integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) within the context of Smart Cities. The IoT paradigm, characterized by its three-layer technology stack—Perception, Network, and Application—offers unprecedented opportunities for enhancing urban living through improved efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity. Our exploration spans the entire technology stack, focusing on innovative applications, advanced machine learning (ML) techniques, and interdisciplinary collaboration to address the unique challenges posed by Smart City environments.
The 21st century has witnessed rapid advancements in wireless technologies, driving the proliferation of IoT devices and shaping the concept of Smart Cities. These interconnected systems facilitate the collection, exchange, and utilization of data from the physical world, fostering smarter, more efficient urban environments. This Special Issue aims to present innovative methodologies, showcase significant scientific contributions, and discuss the challenges and opportunities in this dynamic field. By focusing on the integration of IoT technologies in various Smart City domains, we strive to provide valuable insights and foster collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
