Dear Colleagues,

The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data technology has garnered significant attention in the realm of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor applications. Data scientists and engineers alike have recognized the immense potential of leveraging these technologies to harness the vast amount of data collected through sensors. With the emergence of next-generation IoT operations, such as smart facility management, IoT predictive maintenance, smart cities, cyber security, intelligence computation for security measures, and blockchain, the process of data collection through sensors and subsequent data processing using AI is commonly referred to as big data analysis in the context of sensors and applications.

This Special Issue aims to provide a prominent international platform for researchers to showcase cutting-edge advancements and results pertaining to AI, machine learning, big data analytics, and cyber security technologies in the field of sensors. The focus will be on exploring recent progress, current trends, and future directions of AI applications in sensors and associated applications. Moreover, this Special Issue seeks to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas among researchers from computer science and various engineering disciplines, facilitating the discovery of common research topics and fostering cross-disciplinary exploration.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions covering a wide range of topics related to AI, machine learning, big data analytics, and cyber security in sensor applications. Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  1. Advanced AI algorithms and models for sensor data analysis.

The continuously evolving world of cloud computing presents new challenges in resource allocation as dispersed systems struggle with overloaded conditions. In this regard, we introduce OptiDJS+, a cutting-edge enhanced dynamic Johnson sequencing algorithm made to successfully handle resource scheduling challenges in cloud computing settings. With a solid foundation in the dynamic Johnson sequencing algorithm, OptiDJS+ builds upon it to suit the demands of modern cloud infrastructures. OptiDJS+ makes use of sophisticated optimization algorithms, heuristic approaches, and adaptive mechanisms to improve resource allocation, workload distribution, and task scheduling. To obtain the best performance, this strategy uses historical data, dynamic resource reconfiguration, and adaptation to changing workloads. It accomplishes this by utilizing real-time monitoring and machine learning. It takes factors like load balance and make-up into account. We outline the design philosophies, implementation specifics, and empirical assessments of OptiDJS+ in this work. Through rigorous testing and benchmarking against cutting-edge scheduling algorithms, we show the better performance and resilience of OptiDJS+ in terms of reaction times, resource utilization, and scalability. The outcomes underline its success in reducing resource contention and raising service quality generally in cloud computing environments. In contexts where there is distributed overloading, OptiDJS+ offers a significant advancement in the search for effective resource scheduling solutions. Its versatility, optimization skills, and improved decision-making procedures make it a viable tool for tackling the resource allocation issues that cloud service providers and consumers encounter daily. We think that OptiDJS+ opens the way for more dependable and effective cloud computing ecosystems, assisting in the full realization of cloud technologies’ promises across a range of application areas. In order to use the OptiDJS+ Johnson sequencing algorithm for cloud computing task scheduling, we provide a two-step procedure. After examining the links between the jobs, we generate a Gantt chart. The Gantt chart graph is then changed into a two-machine OptiDJS+ Johnson sequencing problem by assigning tasks to servers. The OptiDJS+ dynamic Johnson sequencing approach is then used to minimize the time span and find the best sequence of operations on each server. Through extensive simulations and testing, we evaluate the performance of our proposed OptiDJS+ dynamic Johnson sequencing approach with two servers to that of current scheduling techniques. The results demonstrate that our technique greatly improves performance in terms of makespan reduction and resource utilization. The recommended approach also demonstrates its ability to scale and is effective at resolving challenging work scheduling problems in cloud computing environments. Full article
