Scope

The IoT Architectures section of Frontiers in the Internet of Things publishes high-quality fundamental and applied research across the interdisciplinary field of IoT. Review papers and reports on industrial experiences are also welcome. Contributions should focus on novel techniques, solutions, software architectures, cloud/edge computing solutions that enhance and exploit IoT ecosystems. The IoT field comprises several areas that go from the hardware of the devices to the cloud-based solutions for dealing with the related data. The section solicits contributions in the areas including, but not limited to:

IoT Software Architectures:

• Service-Oriented
• Cloud, Edge, and Fog based
• Things-centric
• Data-centric
• Middleware
• Privacy, Security, and Trust
• Wireless sensor networks
• Run-time
• Deployment
• Discovery
• Energy management
• Quality of Service
• Security
• IoT, Data, and Artificial Intelligence
• Context sensing and reasoning
• Data analytics
• Data visualisation
• Machine Learning
• Planning and Scheduling

Applications:

• Aerial
• Agriculture
• Automotive
• Green and sustainability
• Healthcare
• Home automation
• Localization
• Logistics
• Robotics
• Smart Infrastructures, including Smart Cities, Smart Grids, and Smart Buildings.

All studies must contribute designs, algorithms, or experiences which are supported by theoretical or experimental validation. The mere use of IoT devices in an application does not represent a contribution to this section, if not corroborated by foundational, methodological, or empirical substantiation. Purely hardware architectures are to be considered out of scope.
