Aims and Scope
Smart living is the new emerging technology that is drawing attention worldwide. With limited resources, constrained budget and demographic shifts, there is a need for innovative technology that can improve quality of living and making it economic sustainable and environment-friendly. Smart living consists of procedures that aim to provide not only comfortable and automated life but also to provide energy efficient service to the users. Technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE) and artificial intelligence has increased the smartness quotient through optimizing natural resources, costs and infrastructures. In smart living context, IoE can provide an overlay solution for people, devices and data to get unified digitally. IoE is an emerging concept that found its roots from IoT. This concept comes into practice through the employment of ICT hardware and intelligence in underlying physical infrastructure. IoE allows for automated connections of the physical devices to Internet, with each other and most importantly with humans. Communications taking place through these interconnections generate enormous data which when analyzed could help in effective real time decision making and in adding intelligence to the network itself. It is certain that the combination of smart living and IoE looks very fascinating. However, there exist numerous challenges in the integration of these two concepts. There is a lack of efficient operating models in this concept. Organizations cannot rely on traditional operating models like top-down approaches, centralized management systems or bottom-up model as well as they need a paradigm shift in network infrastructures and communication technologies. As smart living is not only about to meet promised living standards but also to manage user’s expenses who has chosen smart living rather than normal living. Apart from this, this concept lacks a strong deployment plan as smart living must have the power to anticipate and adapt more quickly with the user’s requirements. There is a need of an efficient deployment plan that could ensure cross-functionalities that the power to optimize the installation cost.
This special issue aims at providing a platform for academic and industrial researchers and practitioners to exchange and publish the most prominent challengesa as well as the latest research trends and results for the role of IoE and intelligent network communication and management for smart living. This will be accomplished by discussing various aspects of IoE application in smart living and by exploring key concepts that can give a boost to the development of smart living through IoE. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to:
- Communications and networking for Smart Living scenarios
- Smart convergence home appliances
- Smart healthcare applications
- Communications and networking for Smart TV and home entertainment
- Community information services
- Cloud computing for smart living applications
- SDN, NFV and MEC solutions for Smart living applications
- Sensor Technologies in Smart Homes
- Energy management in smart living scenarios
- Artificial Intelligence in smart living and smart spaces
- IoT for smart living
- Security issues in smart living environments
- Intelligent resource management for smart spaces
