The Internet of Things comes along with new challenges for experimenting, testing, and operating decentralized socio-technical systems at large-scale. In such systems, autonomous agents interact locally with their users, and remotely with…
Swarm intelligence is a research field that models the collective behavior in swarms of insects or animals. Several algorithms arising from such models have been proposed to solve a wide range of complex optimization problems. In this…
Despite research advocating the Internet of Things (IoT) as an effective in-office monitoring system, little research has presented societal and climate centric discussions. Whereas the United Nations (UN) and other development agencies…
The heterogeneity of the Internet-of-things (IoT) network can be exploited as a dynamic computational resource environment for many devices lacking computational capabilities. A smart mechanism for allocating edge and mobile computers to…
IoT emerges as an unprecedented paradigm with great potential for changing how people interact, think and live. It is making existing Internet services feasible in ways that were previously impossible, as well as paving the way for new…
We propose a model for demonstrating spontaneous emergence of collective intelligent behavior from selfish individual agents. Agents' behavior is modeled using our proposed selfish algorithm ($SA$) with three learning mechanisms: reinforced…
The unprecedented worldwide spread of coronavirus disease has significantly sped up the development of technology-based solutions to prevent, combat, monitor, or predict pandemics and/or its evolution. The omnipresence of smart…
Preservation of privacy has been a serious concern with the increasing use of IoT-assisted smart systems and their ubiquitous smart sensors. To solve the issue, the smart systems are being trained to depend more on aggregated data instead…
Communication is crucial when disasters isolate communities of people and rescue is delayed. Such delays force citizens to be first responders and form small rescue teams. Rescue teams require reliable communication, particularly in the…
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) groups specialized transducers that provide sensing services to Internet of Things (IoT) devices with limited energy and storage resources. Since replacement or recharging of batteries in sensor nodes is…
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is expected to bring ubiquitous intelligence through new applications in order to enhance living and other environments. Several research and standardization studies are now focused on the Middleware…
We introduce Social Bayesian Optimization (SBO), a vote-efficient algorithm for consensus-building in collective decision-making. In contrast to single-agent scenarios, collective decision-making encompasses group dynamics that may distort…
Social Internet of Things (SIoT) tries to overcome the challenges of Internet of Things (IoT) such as scalability, trust and discovery of resources, by inspiration from social computing. This survey aims to investigate the research done on…
The "Smart City" (SC) concept revolves around the idea of embodying cutting-edge ICT solutions in the very fabric of future cities, in order to offer new and better services to citizens while lowering the city management costs, both in…
The problem of cooperative spectrum leasing to unlicensed Internet of Things (IoT) devices is studied to account for potential selfish behavior of these devices. A distributed game theoretic framework for spectrum leasing is proposed where…
The Social Internet of Things (SIoT), integration of the Internet of Things and Social Networks paradigms, has been introduced to build a network of smart nodes that are capable of establishing social links. In order to deal with…
In this paper, based on the spatio-temporal correlation of sensor nodes in the Internet of Things (IoT), a Spatio-temporal Scope information model (SSIM) is proposed to quantify the scope valuable information of sensor data, which decays…
Spatial Mobile Crowdsourcing (SMCS) can be leveraged by exploiting the capabilities of the Social Internet-of-Things (SIoT) to execute spatial tasks. Typically, in SMCS, a task requester aims to recruit a subset of IoT devices and…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an evolving network of billions of interconnected physical objects, such as numerous sensors, smartphones, wearables, and embedded devices. These physical objects, generally referred to as the smart objects,…
In addition to seamless connectivity and smartness, the objects in the Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to have the social capabilities -- these objects are termed as ``social objects''. In this paper, an intuitive paradigm of social…
