Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things is a key factor for the transition to the digital society. Communication networks already interconnect people and many autonomous and semi-autonomous devices. The IoT not only has a direct social impact, but the industry finds in it the best approach to solve problems; thus, it is seen as a great opportunity to enhance the competitiveness of companies. In particular, the IoT is considered to be one of the key drivers for the implementation of the so-called Industry 4.0 and for the digital transformation of companies.
The rapid diffusion of IoT technologies requires an adequate response from the educational system; an increasingly large number of qualified professionals are needed that are able to design and manage IoT-based devices, networks, and systems for a large number of different sectors.
As the IoT technology is increasingly becoming part of every aspect of life and productive environments, security and safety are a major concern. A huge number of widely distributed devices with a computing power that frequently is not trivial sum up to an extremely powerful computing system with ramifications everywhere, which can be considered outposts in the wrong hands. Security and safety aspects are central to the safe development of IoT technologies; “security by design” must not be an option, and must be enforced in any software and hardware application.
The Special Issue “IoT Sensors and Technologies for Education” focuses on the educational activities related to the IoT, including the uses of IoT sensors and technologies in education activities and the educational programs related to IoT, without forgetting security and safety aspects.
Potential topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- IoT sensors for education
- IoT-aided education
- IoT-based virtual and remote laboratories
- IoT education for Industry 4.0
- IoT security education
- IoT best practices in education
