Welcome to the Advances in Internet of Things and Edge Computing. Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge
Computing are key to supporting Cyber-Physical Systems that integrate smart devices in the physical
environment with smart applications using standard IoT protocols, where standardization is critical. These
protocols extend the traditional Internet to enable machines and humans to interact with each other. Indeed,
although IoT has Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as ancestors and inherits some
of their features, protocol standardization is the big differentiator.
In this context, AI, networking and communications, and smart devices play a decisive role in supporting
numerous initiatives that are vital to the future of society. Consider Vehicle-to-Infrastructure
architectures, Smart Cities, Building Automation, Urban Agriculture, Participative Sensing, Connected
Health, and more importantly, Industrial IoT. Specifically, Industrial IoT aims to bring manufacturing
closer to markets, promoting nearshoring and reshoring. In the long run, this benefits consumers by offering
much more for less and improving value chains.
In addition to industrial IoT, factors like sustainability and physical security are also crucial elements
in all these initiatives. Moreover, global gamechangers like natural resource constraints, population
growth, and economic growth have put an urgency in the deployment of Cyber-Physical Systems. Fortunately,
technological and scientific developments have led to advancements in material sciences, energy production,
embedded processing, the aforementioned protocol standardization, and the development of smart
decision-making systems. These areas are megatrends that drive Cyber-Physical Systems and can only be
supported through research and development in areas associated with IoT and Edge Computing systems. Topics
like Tiny Machine Learning and IoT protocols are instrumental to enabling these systems.
In summary, Cyber-Physical Systems are intelligent systems that rely on IoT and Edge Computing to advance
the evolution of industry and society. As such, this journal serves as a key player in promoting this
evolution.
