Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

At the beginning of the last decade, the Internet of Things and the Cloud Computer worlds were both emerging. The first dealt with tiny low-power devices, while the latter focused on elasticity, virtualization, and the pay-per-use model, promising the democratic distribution of computer power and storage. In recent years, the two technologies have become intimately related to each other, converging on a new paradigm that could be defined as the high-performance Internet of Things. This evolutionary thread has advanced sensor technologies and their related applications greatly, as evidenced by the massive rise of distributed low-cost sensor networks and the data crowdsourcing model. At the same time, the computation for the edge and fog computing paradigms has enabled the design and development of a new class of cloud-native applications in which the IoT acts as a bridge between sensing technologies and cloud computing-hosted applications.

This Special Issue looks for novel contributions related to the application of the IoT and sensing systems to cloud computing-powered infrastructures. The main topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

  • GPU, FPGA, and heterogeneous processing algorithms;
  • IoT microservice applications;
  • Urban informatics and cloud applications;
  • Novel protocols for fast, secure, reliable, and resilient data transfer;
  • Workflows and orchestration systems involving the IoT, sensing, and cloud resources;
  • CPU, GPU, and FPGA offloading at the edge;
  • Cloud-native pattern recognition algorithms for sensors and IoT-produced data;
  • Osmotic computing and other edge computing paradigms;
  • Security and reliability for IoT data;
  • Cloud computing data distribution and provisioning;
  • Artificial Intelligence for the IoT and sensors in the Cloud;
  • Computational intelligence and machine learning for the IoT and cloud-based smart systems for sensor networks;
  • Federated learning;
  • Scheduling of IoT-sensing hybrid/cloud applications;
  • IoT solutions for coastal and ocean monitoring;
  • Long-range systems for ocean vessel-to-cloud data transfer;
  • Sensors and IoT data mining on the Cloud.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are leading to advancements in innovation, efficiency, and sustainability across various industries. However, as the number of connected IoT devices increases, the risk of intrusion becomes a major concern in IoT security. To prevent intrusions, it is crucial to implement intrusion detection systems (IDSs) that can detect and prevent such attacks. IDSs are a critical component of cybersecurity infrastructure. They are designed to detect and respond to malicious activities within a network or system. Traditional IDS methods rely on predefined signatures or rules to identify known threats, but these techniques may struggle to detect novel or sophisticated attacks. The implementation of IDSs with machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques has been proposed to improve IDSs’ ability to detect attacks. This will enhance overall cybersecurity posture and resilience. However, ML and DL techniques face several issues that may impact the models’ performance and effectiveness, such as overfitting and the effects of unimportant features on finding meaningful patterns. To ensure better performance and reliability of machine learning models in IDSs when dealing with new and unseen threats, the models need to be optimized. This can be done by addressing overfitting and implementing feature selection. In this paper, we propose a scheme to optimize IoT intrusion detection by using class balancing and feature selection for preprocessing. We evaluated the experiment on the UNSW-NB15 dataset and the NSL-KD dataset by implementing two different ensemble models: one using a support vector machine (SVM) with bagging and another using long short-term memory (LSTM) with stacking. The results of the performance and the confusion matrix show that the LSTM stacking with analysis of variance (ANOVA) feature selection model is a superior model for classifying network attacks. It has remarkable accuracies of 96.92% and 99.77% and overfitting values of 0.33% and 0.04% on the two datasets, respectively. The model’s ROC is also shaped with a sharp bend, with AUC values of 0.9665 and 0.9971 for the UNSW-NB15 dataset and the NSL-KD dataset, respectively. Full article
