Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things
applications

– Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier –

The Cloud-to-Things (C2T) continuum is a novel paradigm that extends the
cloud-computing centralized architecture by introducing intermediate
computing layers to host industrial applications and services with
stringent requirements in terms of latency and reliability in the
communication with IoT devices and sensors.

Recent network architectures that support the integration of IoT devices
into existing networks, like 6TiSCH or 5G/6G, include by design support for
strict Quality of Service (QoS) communication requirements to ensure timed
and reliable data delivery between applications and IoT devices.

The deployment and management of the C2T multi-tier computing
infrastructure connected with industrial IoT via heterogeneous
communication technologies on a large-scale will require innovative
approaches to guarantee QoS application requirements by enabling the
convergence between computing and networking. Current networking management
approaches are not adequate to support this convergence, thus leading to
research open issues in multiple areas, including, for instance, IoT
networks performance optimization, efficient resource management, scalable
device management, novel compute-network joint management strategies, etc.

In this special issue, we look for original and high-quality research works
in these areas to enable the convergence between networking and computing
in the C2T continuum for industrial applications. The topics relevant to
this special issue include but are not limited to:

*Network resource allocation and management in Industrial IoT networks
*Integration between cloud-edge infrastructure and 5G/6G networks for the
Industrial IoT
*Network continuity to support efficient offloading to optimize network
performance
*Network strict-QoS for Industrial applications in the C2T continuum
*Joint network configuration and workload distribution in the C2T continuum
*Security issues and solutions for industrial systems in the C2T continuum
*Ad-Hoc Networks for industrial applications to support mobility
*Vehicular networks for cooperative autonomous vehicles
*Self-organizing networks in the C2T continuum
*Scalable management solutions in the C2T continuum
*Novel network paradigms to support the C2T continuum with QoS guarantees
