Guest Editorial: Reliability and Security for Intelligent Wireless Sensing and Control Systems

Nowadays billions of smart objects are connected to the internet and interact with the cloud. Remote monitoring, control systems, and data analysis becomes more intelligent with the huge amount of data been collecting and crowdsourcing. To reduce data transmission and improve executive efficiency, computing and storing functions are executed toward edge devices. However, the great convenience raises numerous issues including reliability and security of the sensors and the control systems because these issues have not always been considered the top priority. Accordingly, many new research opportunities and challenges for intelligent sensing and control have arisen.

Automated summary

Nowadays, billions of smart objects are connected to the internet and interact with the cloud. Remote monitoring, control systems, and data analysis are becoming more intelligent with the accumulation of data and crowdsourcing. Computing and storing functions are now executed on edge devices to reduce data transmission and improve efficiency. However, this convenience also brings about issues related to reliability and security, leading to new research opportunities and challenges in intelligent sensing and control.
