The Internet of Things (IoT) has become integral to modern technology, enhancing daily life and industrial processes through seamless connectivity. However, the rapid expansion of IoT systems presents significant sustainability challenges, such as high energy consumption and inefficient resource management. Addressing these issues is critical for the long-term viability of IoT networks. Machine learning (ML), with its proven success across various domains, offers promising solutions for optimizing IoT operations. ML algorithms can learn directly from raw data, uncovering hidden patterns and optimizing processes in dynamic environments. Executing ML at the edge of IoT networks can further enhance sustainability by reducing bandwidth usage, enabling real-time decision-making, and improving data privacy. Additionally, testing ML models on actual hardware is essential to ensure satisfactory performance under real-world conditions, as it captures the complexities and constraints of real-world IoT deployments. Combining ML at the edge and actual hardware testing, therefore, increases the reliability of ML models to effectively improve the sustainability of IoT systems. The present systematic literature review explores how ML can be utilized to enhance the sustainability of IoT networks, examining current methodologies, benefits, challenges, and future opportunities. Through our analysis, we aim to provide insights that will drive future innovations in making IoT networks more sustainable.

Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising solution for decentralized Machine Learning (ML) that does not have direct access to datasets in a centralized manner. However, the traditional FL methods are prone to overfitting and model drift at the client level and server divergence during classic aggregation in case of heterogeneous, non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) time-series sensor data. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that integrates bidirectional Knowledge Distillation (KD) by using distilled soft predictions of each client model, called logits, as well as server model distilled logits. Specifically, clients use KD regularization techniques using the received server logits during model training, while the server uses received client logits to build a score for weighted global aggregation each round. Thus, we avoid local training overhead for clients, while also improving global aggregation using weighting on the server-side for each training round for non-IID data. Experimental results highlight its ability to improve forecasting metrics compared to other methods such as CADIS and FEDGKD, using loss, error, and execution time metrics, hence bettering generalization and minimizing client drift and bias.

联邦学习（FL）已经成为去中心化机器学习（ML）的一个有前途的解决方案，它不能以集中的方式直接访问数据集。然而，对于异构、非独立、同分布（non-IID）的时间序列传感器数据，传统的FL方法在经典聚合过程中容易出现客户端的过拟合和模型漂移，而服务器端的发散。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的方法，通过使用每个客户端模型（称为logits）的蒸馏软预测以及服务器模型蒸馏logits来集成双向知识蒸馏（KD）。具体来说，客户端在模型训练期间使用接收到的服务器logit使用KD正则化技术，而服务器则使用接收到的客户端logit为每轮加权全局聚合构建分数。因此，我们避免了客户端的本地训练开销，同时还在服务器端使用非iid数据的每个训练轮的加权来改进全局聚合。实验结果表明，与其他方法（如CADIS和FEDGKD）相比，它能够使用损失、误差和执行时间指标来改进预测指标，从而更好地泛化并最大限度地减少客户端漂移和偏差。

Industrial air separation stations play a critical role in numerous sectors, necessitating robust fault detection frameworks to ensure reliability and operational safety. This study presents a novel approach combining Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) networks with Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) for fault detection in industrial air separation stations. The BLSTM model, renowned for its ability to capture temporal dependencies in sequential data, is optimized using EPSO to fine-tune its hyperparameters, enhancing its fault detection performance. The proposed EPSO-BLSTM framework is rigorously evaluated against conventional techniques, including Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Bidirectional RNN, Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), LSTM, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and standard BLSTM model with the most notable improvements of error-based 58.32 % Loss, 63.37 % Val Loss, 1.24 % CP, 0.6 % Val CP, 60.11 % MAE, 63.37 % Val MAE, 63.46 % MSE, and 81.75 % Val MSE, and with accurate-based 4.68 % Pre, 5.55 % Val Pre, 5.72 % Rec, and 4.39 % Val Rec. Comparative analysis highlights the superior fault classification accuracy and generalization capability of the EPSO-BLSTM model under diverse operational scenarios. This research underscores the potential of integrating metaheuristic optimization with advanced deep learning architectures to address complex fault detection challenges, offering a scalable and efficient solution for industrial air separation stations.

Mobile Edge Computing plays a critical role in enabling real-time services across heterogeneous applications by distributing computational resources across multiple servers. However, managing service efficacy in multi-resource environments remains a challenge, particularly concerning scalability and service deficiencies. This study aims to introduce a novel method, Reformed Multi-Source Sharing (RMSS), to enhance resource distribution and improve service efficiency in MEC environments. The propose RMSS, which periodically updates resource allocations based on service density and source sharing to optimize the sharing rate. The method employs federated learning to validate previous resource allocations, ensuring optimal service distribution and minimizing deficiencies. The system was evaluated using multi-server environments and edge devices. The proposed RMSS method effectively mitigates resource allocation deficiencies, leading to significant improvements in service response times and user support. RMSS demonstrated up to 9.77 % higher service response rates, 13.88 % lower latency, and reduced service deficiency by 11.89 %, compared to existing approaches. RMSS improves scalability and resource distribution in MEC, edge devices in dense user environments. Future research will focus on incorporating virtualization-based edge slicing to further reduce latency and optimize resource distribution in increasingly complex edge networks.

This paper presents an innovative approach to enhancing the quality of life for people with hearing impairment by implementing a portable and discreet TinyML device. The Support System for Identifying Emergency Sounds (SSIES) is designed to recognize four characteristic emergency sounds: car horn, scream, ambulance sirens, and crying babies. Through unique vibration patterns for each sound, the device provides a haptic response that allows the user to be aware of their surroundings and react if necessary. In addition, the device provides information on the direction of arrival (DOA) of the sound. In the state of the art, various supervised machine learning techniques have been explored to achieve this behavior. In this work, we focus primarily on artificial neural network algorithms (ANN) and their optimization for execution on devices with limited computational resources, a trend known as Machine Learning at the Edge.

The methodology used in this project is based on a combination of the HW/SW co-design and development lifecycle model for embedded systems and the lifecycle of ML-based solutions.

The results obtained indicate that the proposed TinyML device is feasible and has the potential to significantly improve environmental awareness for people with hearing impairment.

Fatigue is one of the factors that most influences competitive athletes’ performance, leading to injuries and overtraining. To effectively monitor and predict fatigue levels during real-world training, it is necessary to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) technology with machine learning (ML). In this context, the paper presents three main contributions : a) a smart IoT framework that integrates edge and cloud-based modules to collect physiological parameters, monitor fatigue during real-world sessions, and assist coaches in optimizing exercise strategies ; b) a dataset collected through the proposed framework in a real pilot study with eight futsal players over five training sessions, each lasting between 35 and 50 m depending on performed exercises, using ECG and PPG-based sensors ; c) an online ML-based fatigue detection module and on-cloud analysis of various ML models, traditional and deep learning, including CNN+GRU, XGBoost, and Transformer architectures, and context-aware feature sets. We evaluated the accuracy of our fatigue detection method using standard metrics, achieving an F1-score of up to 95 % with pilot study data. Our framework incorporates a context-aware design, where contextual information (exercise type) and sensing modality (ECG- or PPG-based) are explicitly integrated with physiological features (HRV and HR) in the fatigue prediction model to adapt it to different settings, improving robustness and interpretability. Finally, we evaluated the framework’s efficacy and the value of user and expert input, highlighting the benefits of integrating IoT and ML within a human-centered, context-aware approach to balance sensor accuracy, comfort, and efficiency in competitive sports training.

Keyword search is a fundamental technique for retrieving data outsourced to the cloud. Although encryption preserves data confidentiality, existing searchable encryption schemes often fail to efficiently support dynamic authorization and flexible retrieval. To address these limitations, we propose

BAMKS

, a blockchain-assisted attribute-based multi-keyword search scheme that supports secure and efficient search over version-aware encrypted data. In

BAMKS

, multiple data owners collaboratively generate version-bound access tokens that grant authorized users decryption privileges over evolving data. The scheme further enables conjunctive keyword search with updatable indexes. To ensure the integrity of search results, users can verify their correctness using an aggregated Schnorr-based non-interactive zero-knowledge proof, which is validated by smart contracts. In addition,

BAMKS

provides efficient attribute and user revocation without re-encrypting the stored ciphertexts, and supports user traceability for identifying malicious users from leaked keys. We formally prove that

BAMKS

achieves security against chosen-plaintext attacks (IND-CPA) and chosen-keyword attacks (IND-CKA) under the Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) assumption. Performance evaluations show that the scheme achieves lightweight decryption and efficient multi-keyword search, thereby reducing client-side computation and making it suitable for resource-constrained IoT environments. These features demonstrate the practicality of

BAMKS

for distributed cloud-edge-IoT storage applications.

关键字搜索是检索外包给云的数据的基本技术。虽然加密保护了数据的机密性，但现有的可搜索加密方案往往不能有效地支持动态授权和灵活的检索。为了解决这些限制，我们提出了BAMKS，这是一种区块链辅助的基于属性的多关键字搜索方案，支持对版本感知加密数据的安全高效搜索。在BAMKS中，多个数据所有者协作生成版本绑定的访问令牌，授予授权用户对演进数据的解密权限。该方案进一步支持使用可更新索引的联合关键字搜索。为了确保搜索结果的完整性，用户可以使用基于聚合schnorr的非交互式零知识证明来验证其正确性，该证明由智能合约验证。此外，BAMKS提供了有效的属性和用户撤销，而无需重新加密存储的密文，并支持用户可追溯性，以便从泄露的密钥中识别恶意用户。我们正式证明了BAMKS在决策双线性Diffie-Hellman （DBDH）假设下实现了对选择明文攻击（IND-CPA）和选择关键字攻击（IND-CKA）的安全性。性能评估表明，该方案实现了轻量级解密和高效的多关键字搜索，减少了客户端计算量，适用于资源受限的物联网环境。这些特性证明了BAMKS在分布式云边缘物联网存储应用中的实用性。

In recent years, Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a privacy-preserving paradigm for collaborative model training in IoT systems, enabling clients to learn a global model for tasks like classification, prediction, or anomaly detection in IoT environments without sharing raw data. However, traditional centralized FL architectures face bottlenecks, single points of failure, and struggle with non-IID data. These limitations hinder effective Collective Intelligence in large-scale IoT systems where numerous devices operate across diverse and dynamic environments. Existing clustered FL approaches often retain centralization or overlook how the spatial distribution inherent in IoT deployments directly influences data heterogeneity, challenging both the integration of spatially correlated devices and the establishment of intelligence distributed across the entire system. Creating such intelligence demands both decentralized architectures for scalability and effective integration of devices with similar data distributions. For these reasons, this article introduces Proximity-Aware Self-Federated Learning (PSFL), a novel decentralized approach embodying collective intelligence principles. PSFL leverages field-based coordination to enable IoT devices to form self-federations, dynamically clustered groups that train specialized models based on both spatial proximity and local model characteristics. These self-federations reflect underlying data distributions, creating a distributed ecosystem of specialized models across the network. This approach overcomes global model limitations in non-IID settings through specialized federations based on local data distributions, enhancing performance while maintaining decentralization. We evaluate our approach using the Extended MNIST and CIFAR-100 datasets against state-of-the-art baselines, demonstrating its effectiveness in forming coherent, localized models under non-IID conditions.

近年来，联邦学习（FL）已成为物联网系统中协作模型训练的隐私保护范例，使客户能够在不共享原始数据的情况下学习物联网环境中分类、预测或异常检测等任务的全局模型。然而，传统的集中式FL架构面临瓶颈、单点故障以及与非iid数据的斗争。这些限制阻碍了大规模物联网系统中有效的集体智能，其中许多设备在不同和动态的环境中运行。现有的集群FL方法通常保留集中化或忽略物联网部署中固有的空间分布如何直接影响数据异构性，这既挑战了空间相关设备的集成，也挑战了分布在整个系统中的智能的建立。创建这样的智能既需要分散的可伸缩性架构，也需要具有类似数据分布的设备的有效集成。基于这些原因，本文介绍了一种体现集体智能原则的新颖分散方法——邻近感知自联邦学习（PSFL）。PSFL利用基于现场的协调，使物联网设备能够形成自联盟，动态聚类组，根据空间接近性和局部模型特征训练专门的模型。这些自联合反映了底层数据分布，在网络上创建了一个专门模型的分布式生态系统。这种方法通过基于本地数据分布的专门联合克服了非iid设置中的全局模型限制，在保持分散性的同时提高了性能。我们使用扩展的MNIST和CIFAR-100数据集对最先进的基线进行了评估，证明了其在非iid条件下形成连贯的局部模型的有效性。

The growing fragmentation of the blockchain ecosystem has intensified the demand for secure and scalable interoperability protocols. Existing cross-chain solutions face an ‘interoperability trilemma’, struggling to simultaneously achieve decentralization, security, and scalability amidst a fragmented blockchain ecosystem. This paper introduces Acheron, a market-based multi-relay architecture designed to navigate this trilemma by decoupling security from a single monolithic entity and parallelizing message transport across independent, sovereign Relay Chains. Each Relay Chain operates as a self-contained Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network with slashing-based cryptoeconomic security, eliminating monolithic bottlenecks. Routing decisions are governed by a Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) model that dynamically optimizes for security, latency, and cost, while the Acheron DAO and Watchtower Network ensure verifiable governance and continuous relay telemetry. Experimental validation using the Hardhat framework and the Base Sepolia testnet demonstrates that throughput scales linearly from 0.13 to 1.27 transactions per second as relays increase from one to ten, while latency variance decreases by over 90 % and average transaction costs remain stable. Compared with established baselines, Acheron achieves a 7 % reduction in mean latency and over 2.2 ×  higher throughput under identical workloads. These results demonstrate that Acheron’s market-based paradigm presents a viable and quantitatively superior path toward achieving secure, scalable, and decentralized interoperability for both financial and IoT-driven ecosystems.

区块链生态系统的日益分散加剧了对安全和可扩展互操作性协议的需求。现有的跨链解决方案面临着“互操作性三难困境”，在分散的区块链生态系统中努力同时实现去中心化、安全性和可扩展性。本文介绍了Acheron，这是一种基于市场的多中继架构，旨在通过将安全性与单个整体实体解耦并在独立的主权中继链上并行传输消息来解决这一三难困境。每个中继链作为一个独立的权益证明（PoS）网络运行，具有基于削减的加密经济安全性，消除了单一的瓶颈。路由决策由多属性效用理论（Multi-Attribute Utility Theory， MAUT）模型治理，该模型动态优化了安全性、延迟和成本，而Acheron DAO和Watchtower Network确保了可验证的治理和连续的中继遥测。使用Hardhat框架和Base Sepolia测试网进行的实验验证表明，随着中继从1个增加到10个，吞吐量从每秒0.13到1.27个事务呈线性增长，而延迟差异减少了90%以上，平均交易成本保持稳定。与已建立的基线相比，在相同的工作负载下，Acheron的平均延迟降低了7%，吞吐量提高了2.2 × 以上。这些结果表明，Acheron基于市场的范例为金融和物联网驱动的生态系统实现安全、可扩展和分散的互操作性提供了一条可行的、数量上的优越途径。

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) seamlessly integrates the Internet of Things (IoT) with social networks, intensifying the interconnections among objects, humans, and their interactions. While SIoT facilitates rapid information access and sharing through search engines, it also increases the risk of computer virus propagation. It is, therefore, critical to understand how viruses propagate in SIoT networks and which factors contribute the most to viral spread. While such understanding is of paramount importance, comprehensive studies on this topic are still limited in the literature. To address this gap, we study in this paper the long-term behavior of viral spread in SIoT, examining the roles of users, devices, and search engines. Specifically, we propose a novel dynamical virus propagation model that accounts for key factors, such as user awareness, device security levels, search engines, and external storage media. In comparison to competing solutions, the proposed model offers a unique perspective on viral spread in SIoT by focusing on multiple influential factors, their interactions, while also considering the inherent characteristics of the SIoT framework. A comprehensive theoretical analysis of the model is conducted to identify patterns and the key aspects of virus propagation in SIoT. To further validate the findings, a virus propagation algorithm is also designed, and multiple simulations are conducted on two real network datasets (Facebook and P2P), demonstrating the validity of the theoretical findings.

社交物联网（Social Internet of Things, SIoT）将物联网（Internet of Things, IoT）与社交网络无缝融合，强化了物、人、物之间的相互联系。SIoT通过搜索引擎促进了信息的快速获取和共享，但也增加了计算机病毒传播的风险。因此，了解病毒如何在SIoT网络中传播以及哪些因素对病毒传播贡献最大是至关重要的。虽然这样的理解是至关重要的，但在文献中对这一主题的全面研究仍然有限。为了解决这一差距，我们在本文中研究了SIoT病毒传播的长期行为，检查了用户，设备和搜索引擎的角色。具体来说，我们提出了一个新的动态病毒传播模型，该模型考虑了关键因素，如用户意识、设备安全级别、搜索引擎和外部存储介质。与竞争性解决方案相比，该模型通过关注多种影响因素及其相互作用，同时考虑SIoT框架的固有特征，为SIoT中的病毒传播提供了独特的视角。对该模型进行了全面的理论分析，以确定SIoT病毒传播的模式和关键方面。为了进一步验证这一发现，我们还设计了一种病毒传播算法，并在两个真实网络数据集（Facebook和P2P）上进行了多次模拟，验证了理论发现的有效性。
