Introduction

Due to the interconnectivity of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the high stability and reliability of cloud computing, the IoT and cloud computing play a vital role in modern information and computing technology. However, managing the heterogeneous data generated by IoT devices can be challenging as it requires significant storage, processing power, and the use of modern, efficient design and implementation techniques. In most cases, the key to overcoming this challenge is cloud computing. Cloud computing can provide a large amount of computing power and storage space for IoT, enabling IoT to perform advanced data processing and analysis to obtain more valuable information. In addition, scalability is a critical means of contemporary and future computing systems and becomes one of the most important considerations during the design and deployment of systems. Scalable computing involves using a computer system that can adapt to enormous advanced computing capabilities. Scalable computing based on IoT and cloud computing enables large-scale data processing and real-time analysis.

Although many studies have been carried out by researchers in industry and academia, with the rapid increase of information volume and system complexity, new architectures and techniques are needed to support scalable computing. A number of current challenges include: how to effectively and efficiently handle the massive data generated by IoT devices? How to develop the foundational architecture and platform to support the efficient and scalable processing of hybrid data sets? How to handle the heterogeneity of physical network devices, Security privacy and scalability etc. Therefore, this special issue aims to encourage experts and scholars to discuss and explore the latest research on various aspects of efficient scalable computing based on IoT and cloud computing, as well as its applications and challenges. We invite researchers to submit a contribution in the form of an original scientific research article for this Special Issue.
