Abstract
The research presented in this paper originated from my master's thesis, and I have chosen to publish it together with my supervisor, who is the second author, to contribute to the existing body of knowledge. The technology known as the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand the current Internet infrastructure by facilitating connections and interactions between the physical and cyber worlds. IoT and its associated applications have significantly enhanced the quality of life on Earth. Advanced wireless sensor networks and their revolutionary computing capabilities have paved the way for various IoT applications to explore new frontiers, impacting nearly every aspect of daily life. Concurrently, the imperative of energy optimization has emerged as a major concern, driving the adoption of sustainable practices and green technologies. The fusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with IoT represents a potent combination, enabling the realization of unique projects and innovative solutions. The potential impact of IoT and AI is vast, promising transformative changes in the future landscape. Recognizing the magnitude of these advancements, the European Commission is committed to collaborating with partners and authorities in the Western Balkans to fully implement the digital agenda. To this end, the EU and Western Balkans ICT Dialogue Initiative, established by the Commission in cooperation with regional partners, will oversee the implementation of the Digital Agenda.
