Foreword

With the advent of the Internet of things, the world has already seen any time and anywhere connectivity for communication because of advancement in wireless technologies and the use of lightweight hand-held devices. Furthermore, cyber-physical systems and wireless networks provide the opportunity for bridging physical components with the cyberworld. As technology progressed, systems became not only more performative but also more intelligent, which led to the concept of smart technologies. In this context, smart technologies are capable of adapting automatically and modifying behaviour to fit with the respective environment, sensing things through smart sensor technologies, which provide data to analyse and infer from, as well as drawing a conclusion from rules. Furthermore, these smart technologies are also capable of learning, a method using experience to improve performance, and reasoning about what to do next. Therefore, technology seems to be the most important driving force in today’s world. In this regard, recent progr
