Press Release

This special issue aims at attracting high quality submissions on current trends or novel developments on applications in and around smart infrastructures or related topics.

The convergence of several recent trends, such as the Internet of Things, massive machine connectivity, edge computing, and artificial intelligence, is enabling smart or intelligent infrastructures. In the latter, daily life objects are equipped with embedded, network-capable devices, including sensors and actuators. Such devices allow to monitor the physical world, process the collected data, make decisions (whenever suitable) by humans and/or technology systems, and perform optimal actions back on the physical world. As a result, smart infrastructures support advanced applications, allowing to enhance human-machine partnering, resource management, process efficiency, and human life quality, in virtually any domain.

Smart infrastructure examples comprise human-systems integration, smart cities, smart homes, smart buildings, smart hospitals, smart grids, smart utility networks, smart communities, smart transportation systems, smart factories, smart agriculture, among many other smart environments. Reports project that the number of IoT connected devices is expected to double from 2022 to 2027.

This special issue aims at attracting high quality submissions on current trends or novel developments on applications in and around smart infrastructures or related topics.

Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advanced applications in:

  • Intelligent infrastructure systems: intersecting the physical and digital, human-machine infrastructure interactions, human-system team interactions, infrastructure and artificial intelligence, etc.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices: ubiquitous data collection and processing, sensors, wearable or other seamless data collection technologies
  • Human-technology systems infrastructure: human-systems integration, human-technology interactions, human-machine partnerships, socio-technical infrastructure systems
  • Smart cities: edge to cloud systems, public infrastructure network nodes, street lighting, energy, pollution monitoring, water systems, climate change, resiliency and infrastructure, etc.
  • Smart homes: ambient assisted living, home safety, e-health, etc.
  • Smart buildings: intelligent or cognitive infrastructure, energy management, etc.
  • Smart, safe and secure communities: smart grids, utilities, energy systems, etc.
  • Smart factories: worker safety applications, machinery monitoring, product quality monitoring, etc.
  • Smart hospitals: patient monitoring, digital twins for healthcare, etc.
  • Smart transportation systems: traffic monitoring, intelligent traffic management, safety applications, etc.
  • Smart agriculture: precision agriculture, smart sensing for agriculture, etc.
  • Virtual/mixed reality and infrastructure: digital twins, modeling, virtual reality, augmented reality, metaverse, physical and digital interactions, etc.
