What is Sustainability in IoT Social Network Applications?
Sustainability in IoT Social Network Applications designs IoT systems integrated with social networks to optimize energy use and promote eco-friendly behaviors in smart environments.
This subtopic examines energy-efficient IoT deployments in smart homes, cities, and grids that leverage social network data for user engagement and resource optimization. Key studies address lightweight security (Gurunathan and Moamin, 2020, 12 citations), green ICT convergence (Jang et al., 2018), and demand forecasting with IoT (Je et al., 2021, 5 citations). Approximately 9 recent papers explore these intersections.
Why It Matters
Sustainability in IoT social applications reduces energy consumption in smart cities by integrating social nudges, as shown in green ICT studies (Jang et al., 2018). Photovoltaic power forecasting via IoT big data virtualization supports balanced grid production (Je et al., 2021). Smart pot systems using IoT sensors promote user-driven plant care efficiency, addressing urban environmental issues (Lee et al., 2019). These approaches enable scalable eco-behavioral changes through device-social platform interactions.
Key Research Challenges
Energy Efficiency in IoT
IoT devices in social networks consume high power, complicating sustainable deployments in smart homes and cities. Gurunathan and Moamin (2020) highlight lightweight models but note scalability limits. Balancing connectivity and low energy remains critical for long-term viability.
User Engagement via Social
Integrating social networks for behavioral nudges faces privacy and adoption barriers in IoT sustainability apps. Jang et al. (2018) discuss green ICT convergence but identify user trust issues. Effective data flows between devices and platforms require standardized incentives.
Scalable Resource Optimization
Real-time forecasting and optimization in IoT-social systems strain computational resources. Je et al. (2021) propose big data virtualization for power plants, yet vehicle tracking extensions (Khanal and Shrestha, 2024) reveal integration challenges. Dynamic social-IoT models need robust algorithms.
