Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Intelligent Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled industrial sectors to successfully integrate machinery, devices, and sensors with digital systems, networks, and data-driven applications. In fact, the number of use-cases that take advantage of the Intelligent Industrial IoT and its supporting technological pillars (e.g., low-power sensing and perception, data-driven applications, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and communication networks) has drastically increased in recent years. However, this rapid growth has created a noticeable asymmetry between industry and academia. Thus, it has become apparent that there is a mismatch between what is taught and researched in academic settings versus what it is actually being utilized and required in industry.

This Special Issue's main objective is to bridge this gap and (r)establish the connection and symmetry between academic teachings and industrial needs in the realm of Intelligent Industrial IoT by showcasing theory, innovative applications/use-cases, and prospective developments from both an academic and industrial perspective. We invite innovative and original research contributions to cover all aspects of the development and application of the following and related topics, including but not limited to:

  • Training methods for Intelligent IoT;
  • Artificial intelligence in IoT;
  • IoT for intelligent acoustic monitoring;
  • Computing on the edge;
  • On-device signal processing;
  • Cybersecure IoT domains;
  • IoT for naturalized environments (nature-based solutions);
  • Industrial challenges for the IoT;
  • Quantum networks for IoT domains;
  • Data-driven applications for IoT;
  • Intelligent Industrial IoT for health;
  • Web of Things and Intelligent Industrial Internet of Things;

There is an increasing interest in accurately evaluating urban soundscapes to reflect citizens’ subjective perceptions of acoustic comfort. Various indices have been proposed in the literature to achieve this purpose. However, many of these methods necessitate specialized equipment or extensive data collection. This study introduces an enhanced predictor for dwelling acoustic comfort, utilizing cost-effective data consisting of a 30-s audio clip and location information. The proposed predictor incorporates two rating systems: a binary evaluation and an acoustic comfort index called ACI. The training and evaluation data are obtained from the “Sons al Balcó” citizen science project. To characterize the sound events, gammatone cepstral coefficients are used for automatic sound event detection with a convolutional neural network. To enhance the predictor’s performance, this study proposes incorporating objective noise levels from public IoT-based wireless acoustic sensor networks, particularly in densely populated areas like Barcelona. The results indicate that adding noise levels from a public network successfully enhances the accuracy of the acoustic comfort prediction for both rating systems, reaching up to 85% accuracy.

At present, modern society is experiencing a significant transformation. Thanks to the digitization of society and manufacturing, mainly because of a combination of technologies, such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, machine learning, smart cyber-physical systems, etc., which are making the smart factory and Industry 4.0 a reality. Currently, most of the intelligence of smart cyber-physical systems is implemented in software. For this reason, in this work, we focused on the artificial intelligence software design of this technology, one of the most complex and critical. This research aimed to study and compare the performance of a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network designed for solving the problem of character recognition in three implementation technologies: personal computers, cloud computing environments, and smart cyber-physical systems. After training and testing the multilayer perceptron, training time and accuracy tests showed each technology has particular characteristics and performance. Nevertheless, the three technologies have a similar performance of 97% accuracy, despite a difference in the training time. The results show that the artificial intelligence embedded in fog technology is a promising alternative for developing smart cyber-physical systems. Full article
