Special Issue on Distributed Learning and Blockchain Enabled Infrastructures for Next Generation of Big Data Driven Cyber-Physical Systems

Distributed learning and blockchain techniques, envisioned as the bedrock of future intelligent networks and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies, have attracted tremendous attentions from both academy and industry due to the nature of decentralization, data security, and privacy benefits. The decentralized architectures, together with the ability to enable secured, trusted and decentralized autonomous ecosystems, revolutionize increasingly centralized Cyber-Physical System (CPS) for infrastructures and applications, as well as reshaping of traditional data mining and knowledge discovery patterns.

Special Issue on Distributed and Collaborative Learning Empowered Edge Intelligence in Smart City

Smart city serves as an important concept utilizing modern artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning and deep learning models, to improve urban behavior and capabilities for the next-generation civilization constructions. Typical smart city infrastructure systems include smart transportation systems, smart buildings, smart grid, smart medical systems, and smart housing systems, etc. The smart operation systems are among the most popular research topics in the fields of information technology (IT), AI, Internet of things (IoT), cyber-physical systems (CPS), and intelligent systems, etc. However, when tremendous amount of data is collected in the early stage of development of smart city, there exists an urgent demand of decentralized training and learning technologies, since a centralized system is almost not feasible for big data management and analytics in smart cities.

Special Issue on Smart Cyberphysical Systems and Cloud–Edge Engineering

The growing scale, in terms of devices and data, of modern sCPS and the need to perform complex processing and provide fast responses makes cloud–edge platforms natural candidates for integrating such systems. By applying the model and principles of cloud computing to sCPS, any virtual or physical device, including sensors and actuators, is available as a service and can quickly and autonomously be provisioned for usage to meet the user and application demands. By leveraging the edge computing paradigm, time constraints of CPS can be dealt with. In this context, this Special Issue intends to explore the multiple aspects of sCPS and the role of cloud–edge computing as an integrating and enabling platform for this paradigm...
