Sustainability & Energy Efficiency for Internet of Things

Aim and Scope

The International Journal of Internet of Things and its Applications (IJIoTA) is seeking papers contributing to sustainability and energy efficiency in the Internet of Things (IoT), to be published in a special issue. With the expected tremendous increase in the number of devices connected to IoT, highly elevated energy consumption is a serious concern. When the number of IoT devices and the networks and data centers to which they are connected is considered, energy consumption by IoT will substantially increase the rate of energy consumption growth. Papers that are on all aspects of energy efficiency in IoT communications and networking are sought. Submissions are invited on a wide range of research topics, spanning both theoretical and systems research. Examples include, but are not limited to, physical layer communications, new radio access technologies, energy harvesting, mobile based networks, cloud-based radio access network, ultra-dense networks, tactile Internet, big data, smart city, autonomous vehicles, data centres, machine-to-machine communications, software defined network, edge caching, edge computing, fog computing, applications in transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, environmental monitoring and control, and health, all within the context of energy-efficiency maximization in IoT systems. This special issue encourages submissions of highquality unpublished papers reporting original works in both theoretical and experimental research.
Papers will be peer-reviewed by a Special Section Editorial Board. The duration from the submission deadline to the publication of the accepted papers is targeted to be 4 months.

The surge in global population is compelling a shift towards smart practices in various sectors and domains. As a result, the use of internet of things (IoT) and data analytics (DA) are employed to enhance the operational efficiency and productivity. There is a paradigm shift from use of wireless sensors network (WSN) as a major driver of smart applications to the use of IoT and DA. The IoT integrates several existing technologies such as WSN, radio frequency identification, cloud computing, middleware systems and end-user applications. In this paper, several benefits and challenges of IoT have been identified. This special issue provides an opportunity for the scholars, researchers and practitioners to exemplify novelties in the IoT ecosystem and how the combination of IoT and DA is enabling smart applications. Furthermore, this issue provides insights for the future trends and opportunities that are categorized into technological innovations, application scenarios, business and marketability.
