Human-centric NG-IoT: challenges and potential solutions
Human Centric based Next Generation Internet of Things (HC based NG-IoT) paradigm exploits the power and the wisdom of the crowd, as stemming from human mobility and intelligence, for the benefit of the crowd. Humans are empowered to contribute data, allowing for cost- and time-efficient monitoring of different large-scale phenomena, while advanced AI mechanisms are expected to enable accurate knowledge extraction and provision of new insights from the vast amount of data generated, albeit in an interpretable and explainable way. In order for Human Centric based NG-IoT systems to reach their full potential, bringing humans to the foreground in a trustable and sustainable way, a number of research challenges should be efficiently addressed. Without being exhaustive, data integrity and quality in conjunction with privacy concerns and security aspects, transparency, interpretability enhancing human trustability to the proposed approaches as well as incentives provisioning, promoting humans contribution / involvement to the data collection, analysis, action, evaluation loop, constitute some of the core issues that should be solved for realizing HC-based NG-IoT systems. Different constituent elements of a trust-aware NG-IoT system will be discussed, aiming to lay the foundations for new intelligent services and environments.
