FEATURE ARTICLES
Deep Neural Network (DNN) Migration in IoTs-
Emerging Technologies, Current Challenges, and
Open Research Directions: This article presents a
framework for DNN model migration, comprising
DNN model preprocessing, partition-offloading
plan, and improved partition-uploading plan. The
authors address challenges of achieving more efficient
DNN migration and highlight unresolved
issues for future research direction.
Decentralized ME-Centric Framework-A Futuristic
Architecture for Consumer IoT: This article
presents a decentralized ME-centric architecture
for the CIoT, improving agility, scalability, resiliency,
and security. It integrates edge computing,
decentralized storage, digital twins, and
blockchain with semantic ontologies to create a
comprehensive outlook for consumers.
Managing the Far-Edge-Are Today's Centralized
Solutions a Good Fit?: This work compares
cloud and edge infrastructures, evaluating leading
open-source edge solutions in terms of scalability
and service instantiation time in a
medium-sized far-edge system. Results suggest
that mainstream edge solutions require powerful
centralized controllers and stable, high-bandwidth
connectivity, limiting their suitability for
highly decentralized scenarios in the far edge.
Private Blockchain-Based AI-Envisioned Home
Monitoring Framework in Internet ofMedical Things
(IoMT)-Enabled COVID-19 Environment: This article
proposes a fog-based private blockchain-enabled
home monitoring framework for the IoMT in a
COVID-19 context. The article outlines the development
phases and provides a practical demonstration
of the proposed blockchain system for secure
patient homemonitoring.
Security Management on Arduino-Based Electronic
Devices: This work analyzes vulnerabilities
in Arduino boards, which are popular for their
low cost, open hardware, and prototyping potential.
The study shows that most Arduino boards
have limitations and security vulnerabilities in
their software, hardware, and communication
due to low-cost design requirements.
Internet of Cross-Chains-Model-Driven CrossChain
as a Service Platform for the Internet of
Everything(IoE) inSmart City: This article presents
a communication platform for smart cities within
the IoE network, specifically addressing the security,
privacy, scalability, and cross-communication
challenges of the Internet of Robotics Things.
The proposed extended cross-chain-based blockchain
technology provides a multifaceted solution
for modern urban environments.
Distributed Cloud Computing-Architecture,
Enabling Technologies, and Open Challenges:
This article outlines a distributed cloud, interpreting
the concept of distributed cloud computing
and describing its architecture and enabling
technologies. A case study is conducted on service
deployment and discovery, providing a preliminary
assessment of service discovery time,
and open research challenges are discussed.
NAHAP-PUF-Based Three FactorAuthentication
System for IoMT: This article proposes a physical
unclonable function-based three-factor authentication
system, Neighbor Assisted Healthcare Authentication
Protocol, to enhance security in the IoMT.
The framework requires low computational time
(6 ms), with minimal communication overhead,
and demonstrated 100% reliability, as demonstrated
through formal and informal analysis.
LOOKING FORWARD
I hope that the current issue dedicated to
Security and Trust in Forthcoming Consumer IoT
Systems becomes a good read for a broader set
of the Consumer Technology community to
advance their knowledge. MCE will continue the
trend of covering more themes for enthusiastic
and dedicated readers in future issues on the
current and emerging topics with the active support
from the editorial board members,
reviewers, and authors worldwide.
