Recent Advances in Internet of Things and System Design

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue on the Internet of Things (IoT) and system design is to bring together innovative solutions, methodologies, and technologies that drive the integration and optimisation of IoT systems in real-world scenarios across domains such as healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, smart cities, transportation, energy, and environmental monitoring. It seeks to provide insight into the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in designing, implementing, and managing IoT systems and their applications.

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, review papers, and case studies covering, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Innovative architectures, communication protocols, and standards for IoT systems;
• Methodologies, tools, and techniques for designing, modelling, and optimising IoT systems;
• Design and development of IoT devices, sensors, actuators, and embedded systems;
• Approaches for collecting, processing, storing, and analysing IoT data;
• Security and privacy challenges in IoT systems;
• Real-world applications and case studies of IoT systems;
• Strategies and techniques for integrating IoT systems with existing systems;
• Standardisation efforts, policies, and governance models for IoT systems;
• Exploration of the convergence of IoT with emerging technologies.
