Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will consist of selected excellent papers from the 2021 6th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Internet of Things (CCIOT 2021), which will be held in Okinawa, Japan, on 22–24 September 2021. Contributors will be invited to submit and present papers in a wide variety of areas from concepts to applications. Topics of selected papers will include the latest research results and perspectives for future work in the IoT and cloud computing field. Related submissions outside the conference are also very welcome.

This Special Issue is dedicated to demonstrating recent advances in the IoT and cloud computing field. Papers may report on original research, discuss methodological aspects, review the current state of the art, or offer perspectives on future prospects.

These papers will be subjected to peer review and are published to widely disseminate new research results, including developments and applications.

The authors of papers submitted to CCIOT 2021 (http://www.cciot.org/) will be given the opportunity to submit extended versions of their works in this Special Issue, provided they fulfil the specific journal requirements found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet/instructions

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Internet of Things;
  • Big data analysis and artificial intelligence and deep learning;
  • Cloud computing and cloud security and cloud applications.

The Internet of connected vehicles (IoCV) has made people more comfortable and safer while driving vehicles. This technology has made it possible to reduce road casualties; however, increased traffic and uncertainties in environments seem to be limitations to improving the safety of environments. In this paper, driver behavior is analyzed to provide personalized assistance and to alert surrounding vehicles in case of emergencies. The processes involved in this research are as follows. (i) Initially, the vehicles in an environment are clustered to reduce the complexity in analyzing a large number of vehicles. Multi-criterion-based hierarchical correlation clustering (MCB-HCC) is performed to dynamically cluster vehicles. Vehicular motion is detected by edge-assisted road side units (E-RSUs) by using an attention-based residual neural network (AttResNet). (ii) Driver behavior is analyzed based on the physiological parameters of drivers, vehicle on-board parameters, and environmental parameters, and driver behavior is classified into different classes by implementing a refined asynchronous advantage actor critic (RA3C) algorithm for assistance generation. (iii) If the driver’s current state is found to be an emergency state, an alert message is disseminated to the surrounding vehicles in that area and to the neighboring areas based on traffic flow by using jelly fish search optimization (JSO). If a neighboring area does not have a fog node, a virtual fog node is deployed by executing a constraint-based quantum entropy function to disseminate alert messages at ultra-low latency. (iv) Personalized assistance is provided to the driver based on behavior analysis to assist the driver by using a multi-attribute utility model, thereby preventing road accidents. The proposed driver behavior analysis and personalized assistance model are experimented on with the Network Simulator 3.26 tool, and performance was evaluated in terms of prediction error, number of alerts, number of risk maneuvers, accuracy, latency, energy consumption, false alarm rate, safety score, and alert-message dissemination efficiency.
