3. Special Issue: Convergence of IoT and Big Data towards Industry Revolution 4.0

 

Introduction

Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm that has changed the traditional way of living into a high tech life style. Smart city, smart homes, pollution control, energy saving, smart transportation, smart industries are such transformations due to IoT. A lot of crucial research studies and investigations have been done in order to enhance the technology through IoT. The advances in IoT and Big Data techniques have influenced the quality of life and services significantly. The fusion of these technologies has given a rise to the development of various smart applications. The convergence of these two technologies will be pervasive to our daily life in healthcare, finance, security, transportation and education. The special issue aims to publish high quality research in the area of IoT and Big data augmented with machine learning techniques in order to handle the challenge of Industry Revolution (IR) 4.0. IoT and Big Data are being widely used in various fields, however, only the research related to these applications focused IR 4.0 are covered in this special issue.

The topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Current trends in IoT and Big Data towards IR 4.0

2. Special Issue: Advances in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and Other Underwater Systems

 

Introduction

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are submerged vehicles which are self-propelled, self-guided. AUVs have become crucial for military, scientific, and commercial applications. A UAV may be equipped with sensors for recording acoustic signals and/or measuring temperature, pH, light, chemical composition, etc. They may be designed to occasionally receive communications or programmed to modify their missions on the basis of received data. They may be sent on missions to collect data beneath sea ice, in water that is too shallow for a ship, and depths too great for divers. Their missions may include tasks ranging from mapping the seafloor to identifying mines. This Special Issue invites submissions on AUV research in a broad range of topics in AUV technology and applications.

The objective of this issue intends to bring together academicians, researchers, and practitioners to highlight the innovative results or progress in the development of theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of AUVs, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that will benefit both the academia and the industry.

1. Special Issue: Emerging Innovations in Deep Learning

Introduction

Deep learning is a machine learning technique that teaches computers to do what comes naturally to humans: learn by example. It has been extensively applied to various areas, and will produce dramatic impact to our daily life. However, applying deep learning to solve problems will encounter some challenges. Deep learning algorithms require a large and diverse range of data, and a large number of parameters need to be tuned. Also, there are overfitting problems when a well-trained deep learning model is used , hence not easily applied in other areas. Moreover, the training process of deep learning is still a black box, and how they learning and how they deduce conclusions are diffcult to be understood by the researchers.

The objective of this issue intends to bring together academicians, researchers, and practitioners to highlight the emerging trends, applications and research challenges in the development of theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of Deep Learning , along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that will benefit both the academia and the industry.
