The IoT has seen rapid development over the past decade. The total number of installed connected devices is expected to grow exponentially in the near future, since more and more domains are looking for IoT solutions. As a consequence, an increasing number of developers are approaching IoT technology for the first time. Unfortunately, the number of IoT-related studies published every year is becoming huge, with the obvious consequence that it would be impossible for anyone to predict the time that could be necessary to find a paper talking about a given problem at hand. This is the reason why IoT-related discussions have become predominant in various practitioners’ forums, which moderate thousands of posts each month. The present paper’s contribution is twofold. First, it aims at providing a holistic overview of the heterogeneous IoT world by taking into account a technology perspective and a business perspective. For each topic taken into account, a tutorial introduction (deliberately devoid of technical content to make this document within the reach of non-technical readers as well) is provided. Then, a table of very recent review papers is given for each topic, as the result of a systematic mapping study.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86860943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the widespread adoption of decentralised self-generating energy systems in residential communities, short-term load forecasting is expected to be performed in a distributed manner to preserve privacy and ensure timely feedback to perform reconfiguration of the distribution network. In this context, edge computing is expected to be an enabling technology to ensure decentralized data collection, management, processing and delivery. At the same time, federated learning is an emerging paradigm that fits naturally in such an edge-computing environment, providing an AI-powered and privacy-preserving solution for time-series forecasting. In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of different federated-learning configurations resulting in different privacy levels to the forecast residential energy consumption with data collected by real smart meters. To this aim, different experiments are run using Flower (a popular federated learning framework) and real energy consumption data. Our results allow us to demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach and to study the trade-off between data privacy and the accuracy of the prediction, which characterizes the quality of service of the system for the final users.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72668458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the service is to provide technical support to decision-makers in environmental risk management. The proposed service uses IoT for the interaction between a mobile application, a Smart City platform, and an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The mobile application allows the users to report risky situations, such as fire ignition, spills of pollutants in water, or illegal dumping; the user has only to specify the class of the event, while the geographical coordinates are automatically taken from device-integrated GPS. The message sent from the mobile application arrives to a Smart City platform, which shows all the received alerts on a 3D satellite map, to support decision-makers in choosing where a drone inspection is required. From the Smart City platform, the message is sent to the drone service operator; a CSV file defining the itinerary of the drone is automatically built and shown through the platform; the drone starts the mission providing a video, which is used by the decision-makers to understand whether the situation calls for immediate action. An experimental activity in an open field was carried out to validate the whole chain, from the alert to the drone mission, enriched by a Smart City platform to enable a decision-maker to better manage the situation.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91341612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of IoT and connected devices are growing rapidly. However, transferring the corresponding huge, generated data from these IoT devices to the cloud produces challenges in terms of latency, bandwidth and network resources, data transmission costs, long transmission times leading to higher power consumption of IoT devices, service availability, as well as security and privacy issues. Edge computing (EC) is a promising strategy to overcome these challenges by bringing data processing and storage close to end users and IoT devices. In this paper, we first provide a comprehensive definition of edge computing and similar computing paradigms, including their similarities and differences. Then, we extensively discuss the major security and privacy attacks and threats in the context of EC-based IoT and provide possible countermeasures and solutions. Next, we propose a secure EC-based architecture for IoT applications. Furthermore, an application scenario of edge computing in IoT is introduced, and the advantages/disadvantages of the scenario based on edge computing and cloud computing are discussed. Finally, we discuss the most prominent security and privacy issues that can occur in EC-based IoT scenarios.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80824930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several network systems suffer from drawbacks that allow intruders to use malicious traffic to obtain unauthorized access. Attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS), Denial of Service attacks (DoS), and Service Scans demand a unique automatic system capable of identifying traffic abnormality at the earliest stage to avoid system damage. Numerous automatic approaches can detect abnormal traffic. However, accuracy is not only the issue with current Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), but the efficiency, flexibility, and scalability need to be enhanced to detect attack traffic from various IoT networks. Thus, this study concentrates on constructing an ensemble classifier using the proposed Integrated Evaluation Metrics (IEM) to determine the best performance of IDS models. The automated Ranking and Best Selection Method (RBSM) is performed using the proposed IEM to select the best model for the ensemble classifier to detect highly accurate attacks using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Three datasets of real IoT traffic were merged to extend the proposed approach’s ability to detect attack traffic from heterogeneous IoT networks. The results show that the performance of the proposed model achieved the highest accuracy of 99.45% and 97.81% for binary and multi-classification, respectively.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78750934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ali","doi":"10.3390/iot3020016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/iot3020016","url":null,"abstract":"Federated Learning (FL) is a state-of-the-art technique used to build machine learning (ML) models based on distributed data sets. It enables In-Edge AI, preserves data locality, protects user data, and allows ownership. These characteristics of FL make it a suitable choice for IoT networks due to its intrinsic distributed infrastructure. However, FL presents a few unique challenges; the most noteworthy is training over largely heterogeneous data samples on IoT devices. The heterogeneity of devices and models in the complex IoT networks greatly influences the FL training process and makes traditional FL unsuitable to be directly deployed, while many recent research works claim to mitigate the negative impact of heterogeneity in FL networks, unfortunately, the effectiveness of these proposed solutions has never been studied and quantified. In this study, we thoroughly analyze the impact of heterogeneity in FL and present an overview of the practical problems exerted by the system and statistical heterogeneity. We have extensively investigated state-of-the-art algorithms focusing on their practical use over IoT networks. We have also conducted a comparative analysis of the top available federated algorithms over a heterogeneous dynamic IoT network. Our analysis shows that the existing solutions fail to effectively mitigate the problem, thus highlighting the significance of incorporating both system and statistical heterogeneity in FL system design.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82276109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quoitin","doi":"10.3390/iot3010013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/iot3010013","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, we present and evaluate an ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor processing architecture that allows the performing of simultaneous localizations of mobile tags. This architecture relies on a network of low-power fixed anchors that provide forward-ranging measurements to a localization engine responsible for performing trilateration. The communications within this network are orchestrated by UWB-TSCH, an adaptation to the ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless technology of the time-slotted channel-hopping (TSCH) mode of IEEE 802.15.4. As a result of global synchronization, the architecture allows deterministic channel access and low power consumption. Moreover, it makes it possible to communicate concurrently over multiple frequency channels or using orthogonal preamble codes. To schedule communications in such a network, we designed a dedicated centralized scheduler inspired from the traffic aware scheduling algorithm (TASA). By organizing the anchors in multiple cells, the scheduler is able to perform simultaneous localizations and transmissions as long as the corresponding anchors are sufficiently far away to not interfere with each other. In our indoor positioning system (IPS), this is combined with dynamic registration of mobile tags to anchors, easing mobility, as no rescheduling is required. This approach makes our ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor positioning system (IPS) more scalable and reduces deployment costs since it does not require separate networks to perform ranging measurements and to forward them to the localization engine. We further improved our scheduling algorithm with support for multiple sinks and in-network data aggregation. We show, through simulations over large networks containing hundreds of cells, that high positioning rates can be achieved. Notably, we were able to fully schedule a 400-cell/400-tag network in less than 11 s in the worst case, and to create compact schedules which were up to 11 times shorter than otherwise with the use of aggregation, while also bounding queue sizes on anchors to support realistic use situations.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88264007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The collective operational behavior of multiple IoT subsystems can be characterized via (1) a set of operational rules and required safety properties and (2) a collection of IoT-based services or applications that interact with one another and share concurrent access to the devices. In both cases, this collective behavior often leads to situations where their operation may conflict, and the conflict resolution becomes complex due to lack of visibility into or understanding of the cross-subsystem interactions and inability to do cross-subsystem actuations. This article addresses the fundamental problem of detecting and resolving safety property violations. We detail the inherent complexities of the problem, survey the work already performed, and layout the future challenges. We also highlight the significance of detecting/resolving conflicts proactively, i.e., dynamically but with a look-ahead into the future based on the context.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86453243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This huge volume of connected devices has to be managed taking into account the severe energy, memory, processing, and communication constraints of IoT devices and networks. In this context, the OMA LightweightM2M (LWM2M) protocol is designed for remote management of constrained devices, and related service enablement, through a management server usually deployed in a distant cloud data center. Following the Edge Computing paradigm, we propose in this work the introduction of a LWM2M Proxy that is deployed at the network edge, in between IoT devices and management servers. On one hand, the LWM2M Proxy improves various LWM2M management procedures whereas, on the other hand, it enables the support of QoS-aware services provided by IoT devices by allowing the implementation of advanced policies to efficiently use network, computing, and storage (i.e., cache) resources at the edge, thus providing benefits in terms of reduced and more predictable end-to-end latency. We evaluate the proposed solution both by simulation and experimentally, showing that it can strongly improve the LWM2M performance and the QoS of the system.","PeriodicalId":6745,"journal":{"name":"2019 II Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (MetroInd4.0&IoT)","volume":"193 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77680398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
