The Internet of Things (IoT) primary objective is to make a hyper-connected world for various application domains. However, IoT suffers from a lack of interoperability leading to a substantial threat to the predicted economic value. Schema.org provides semantic interoperability to structure heterogeneous data on the Web. An extension of this vocabulary for the IoT domain (iot.schema.org) is an ongoing research effort to address semantic interoperability for the Web of Things (WoT). To design this vocabulary, a central challenge is to identify the main topics (concepts and properties) automatically from existing knowledge in IoT applications. We designed KE4WoT (Knowledge Extraction for the Web of Things) to automatically identify the most important topics from literature ontologies of 3 different IoT application domains - smart home, smart city and smart weather - based on our corpus consisting of 4500 full-text conference and journal articles to utilize domain-specific knowledge encoded within IoT publications. Despite the importance of automatically identifying the relevant topics for iot.schema.org, up to know there is no study dealing with this issue. To evaluate the extracted topics, we compare the descriptiveness of these topics for the 10 most popular ontologies in the 3 domains with empirical evaluations of 23 domain experts. The results illustrate that the identified main topics of IoT ontologies can be used to sufficiently describe existing ontologies as keywords.

The currently observed development of time-sensitive applications also affects wireless communication with the IoT carried by UAVs. Although research on wireless low-latency networks has matured, there are still issues to solve at the transport layer. Since there is a general agreement that classical transport solutions are not able to achieve end-to-end delays in the single-digit millisecond range, in this paper, the use of WebRTC is proposed as a potential solution to this problem.

The food and agriculture sector is a cornerstone of critical infrastructure (CI), underpinning global food security, public health, and economic stability. However, the increasing digitalization and connectivity of operational technologies (OTs) in this sector expose it to significant cybersecurity risks. Blockchain technology (BT) has emerged as a transformative solution for addressing these challenges by enhancing network security, traceability, and system resilience.

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 252 scientific publications from 2001 to 2023, exploring the evolution and emerging trends in agricultural data spaces. Analyzing articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, we address six research questions: the current and interconnected key topics in agricultural data spaces (RQ1), the evolution of research themes over time (RQ2), emerging trends in the field (RQ3), the identification of leading researchers (RQ4), and the primary funding sources for this research area (RQ5), the relationship among research data and small farmers (RQ6). Our findings reveal a shift from traditional to innovative research themes, such as the increasing focus on the Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, and Digital Storage.

Background: Early intervention during the first 3 years of life is crucial for children with developmental disabilities to optimize developmental outcomes. However, access to such services is often limited by geographical distance and resource constraints. Telehealth can be part of a solution for overcoming these barriers, enabling the delivery of early intervention services.
