Special Issue: Federated Learning for the Internet of Things and Machine Learnin

Submission Deadline: December 31, 2023
 
Special Issue Information
Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as intelligent transportation and remote health monitoring have resulted in incredible advances in the quality of life. Massive devices and massive amounts of data necessitate the deployment of machine learning approaches in the IoT era to provide high-quality smart services. However, because of the risk of data misuse and leakage, IoT devices should not share personal data. Federated Learning (FL) has gained popularity in IoT applications in recent years as a distributed machine learning approach with data privacy. As FL technologies evolve, new challenges emerge, such as convergence rate analysis, device selection, resource allocation, and so on. To address these challenges, various theories, optimization algorithms, and sophisticated schemes have been proposed.
 
Furthermore, IoT applications can benefit from FL, and IoT systems can provide effective security. However, more research is needed to enable FL for IoT.
 
This Special Issue aims to bring together leading researchers and developers from industry and academia to present their research on FL for IoT and to promote the development of IoT. We welcome both original research and review papers.
 
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
• Architecture and protocol design in FL for IoT
• Machine Learning
• Applications and services in FL for IoT
• Convergence rate analysis for FL
• Advanced federated optimization algorithms for enabling FL in IoT
• Artificial intelligence empowered FL for IoT
• Blockchain empowered FL for IoT
• Communication, computation, and cache resource management in FL for IoT
• Intelligent resource allocation in FL for IoT
• Security and privacy issues in FL for IoT
• Implementation/testbed/deployment for FL
• Personalized FL for IoT

Special Issue: Toward an Intelligent Edge in the Internet of Things Era

The advent of fifth generation communication systems, known as the 5G reality Internet of Things (IoT) concept. Consequently, a series of smart applications are forming based on the integrating of IoT technology, smart sensors, and different computing schemes and such as smart agriculture, smart healthcare, smart homes/cities, smart retail, etc. to enhance the quality of life for humanity. However, these applications are facing several issues such as service response time, quality of service (QoS) guarantees, energy consumption, privacy, and security. To address these problems, some recent studies have proposed implementing artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge of networks and forming the Intelligent Edge concept. As a result, this helps reduce service response time, saving energy, and computing costs and improving overall performance. However, it's still several problems when integrating AI into the edge of the network. Traditional AI techniques are deployed on powerful servers with centralized training data while Edge devices with resources-constrained.
