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This Special Issue solicits the submission of high-quality unpublished review and research articles that aim at addressing technical issues and challenges associated with IoT technology for sustainable smart cities of the future.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.
