Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) concept plays a pivotal role in society and brings new capabilities to different industries. The number of IoT solutions in areas such as transportation and healthcare is increasing and new services are under development. In the last decade, society has experienced a drastic increase in IoT connections. In fact, IoT connections will increase in the next few years across different areas. Conversely, several challenges still need to be faced to enable efficient and secure operations (e.g., interoperability, security, and standards). Furthermore, although efforts have been made to produce datasets composed of attacks against IoT devices, several possible attacks are not considered. Most existing efforts do not consider an extensive network topology with real IoT devices. The main goal of this research is to propose a novel and extensive IoT attack dataset to foster the development of security analytics applications in real IoT operations. To accomplish this, 33 attacks are executed in an IoT topology composed of 105 devices. These attacks are classified into seven categories, namely DDoS, DoS, Recon, Web-based, brute force, spoofing, and Mirai. Finally, all attacks are executed by malicious IoT devices targeting other IoT devices. The dataset is available on the CIC Dataset website.

The internet of things (IoT) represents a disruptive concept that has been changing society in several ways. There have been several successful applications of IoT in the industry. For example, in transportation systems, the novel internet of vehicles (IoV) concept has enabled new research directions and automation solutions. Moreover, reinforcement learning (RL), federated learning (FL), and federated reinforcement learning (FRL) have demonstrated remarkable success in solving complex problems in different applications. In recent years, new solutions have been developed based on this combined framework (i.e., federated reinforcement learning). Conversely, there is a lack of analysis concerning IoT applications and a standard view of challenges and future directions of the current FRL landscape. Thereupon, the main goal of this research is to present a literature review of federated reinforcement learning (FRL) applications in IoT from multiple perspectives. We focus on analyzing applications in multiple areas (e.g., security, sustainability and efficiency, vehicular solutions, and industrial services) to highlight existing solutions, their characteristics, and research gaps. Additionally, we identify key short- and long-term challenges leading to new opportunities in the field. This research intends to picture the current FRL ecosystem in IoT to foster the development of new solutions based on existing challenges.

Currently, the increasing number of daily flights emphasizes the importance of air transportation. Furthermore, Air Traffic Management (ATM) enables air carriers to operate safely and efficiently through the multiple services provided. Advanced analytic solutions have demonstrated the potential to solve complex problems in several domains, and Deep Learning (DL) has attracted attention due to its impressive results and disruptive capabilities. The adoption of DL models in ATM solutions enables new cognitive services that have never been considered before. The main goal of this research is to present a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art Deep Learning (DL) solutions for Air Traffic Management (ATM). This review focuses on describing applications, identifying opportunities, and highlighting open challenges to foster the evolution of ATM systems. To accomplish this, we discuss the fundamental topics of DL and ATM and categorize the contributions based on different approaches. First, works are grouped based on the DL approach adopted. Then, future directions are identified based on the ATM solution area. Finally, open challenges are listed for both DL applications and ATM solutions. This article aims to support the community by identifying research problems to be faced in the future.
