Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) have allowed people and objects (or only objects) to be connected and interrelated in order to transfer data and information. In this context, the receiving objects can carry out an action without the human being having to directly give the transfer order or undertake it, turning the objects into intelligent objects. As such, the implementation of these technologies is changing the way in which we relate to the physical world and their application ranges from the business sector to sectors such as education, manufacturing, construction, agriculture or health, among others.

This Special Issue solicits novel works in terms of solutions and technologies for application IoT. We look forward to creating a forum where researchers in the domain of application IoT can share their results, techniques, surveys, analyses, and discussions on the application of IoT in society, education and companies. Topics of interest for this Special Issue are not limited strictly to traditional IoT problems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Many efforts have been made to create scenarios whereby interconnecting IoT can be used. The primary objective of these efforts has been to centralize its access as a single list and to monitor its use and trigger its different functionalities from apps. However, few efforts have addressed the problem of electricity consumption from those devices in the context of a residence. Existing datasets for machine predictive systems are focused on data analytics for global consumption but neglect the use of such solutions by the common citizen as a means of re-educating our citizens and optimizing electricity consumption. Without considering the environmental impact and the urgent need to address this growing global emergency, ordinary citizens require systems that help them be aware of what they consume and thus aspire to make a change. In this work, we propose a methodology that builds on the formal mathematical modeling and development of a simulator to substitute the need to collect real data from real world context of use, as well as an interactive system that integrates the whole process. By adding this module to the architecture our prior work, this work is ready for use in real-life scenarios where electrical consumption could be significantly reduced. Full article

Key Criteria in the Choice of IoT Platforms in Spanish Companies

The level of implementation of IoT technology in Spanish companies is not low for a novel technology, but there are concerns that hinder its level of implementation from being higher: initial costs, security, and privacy. These concerns could be solved with the choice of the appropriate IoT platform, but it must be taken into account that there are numerous criteria that participate in this decision that influence each other. This could give rise to criteria not being considered at first, even though they should be taken into account in this choice. Existing studies do not consider this. Thus, the objective of this study was to find out what are the key criteria to be taken into account by Spanish companies when choosing an IoT platform. The criteria were located through a literary review, and classified according to their level of importance in this decision through a causal study carried out with the methodology of fuzzy cognitive maps. The results achieved showed that there were key criteria beyond the criteria directly implied by the concerns, such as stability, scalability, flexibility, and interoperability, and these new criteria acquired the same or greater importance.
