The Internet of Things (IoT) is evolving from passive data collection toward intelligent systems capable of sensing complex environments, extracting actionable information, and supporting closed-loop operation through continuous interaction between the physical and cyber worlds. This evolution introduces new challenges in sensing accuracy, data integrity, communication reliability, intelligent decision-making, system security, and operational resilience, particularly in dynamic, uncertain, and potentially adversarial environments.
This Special Session focuses on trustworthy IoT systems for intelligent sensing and closed-loop operation, bringing together advances in sensing, communications, and artificial intelligence. Of particular interest are techniques that improve the reliability and trustworthiness of sensing data, enable efficient information fusion and intelligent inference, support secure and resilient communication and computation, and facilitate adaptive decision-making and system operation. The session also welcomes emerging approaches such as digital twins, multimodal learning, foundation models, federated intelligence, and integrated sensing, communication, computing, and control. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary discussions on enabling IoT systems to reliably perceive, understand, and interact with complex real-world environments.
