Title:Neuromorphic IoT Architecture for Efficient Water Management: A Smart Village Case Study

Abstract:The exponential growth of IoT networks necessitates a paradigm shift towards architectures that offer high flexibility and learning capabilities while maintaining low energy consumption, minimal communication overhead, and low latency. Traditional IoT systems, particularly when integrated with machine learning approaches, often suffer from high communication overhead and significant energy consumption. This work addresses these challenges by proposing a neuromorphic architecture inspired by biological systems. To illustrate the practical application of our proposed architecture, we present a case study focusing on water management in the Carinthian community of Neuhaus. Preliminary results regarding water consumption prediction and anomaly detection in this community are presented. We also introduce a novel neuromorphic IoT architecture that integrates biological principles into the design of IoT systems. This architecture is specifically tailored for edge computing scenarios, where low power and high efficiency are crucial. Our approach leverages the inherent advantages of neuromorphic computing, such as asynchronous processing and event-driven communication, to create an IoT framework that is both energy-efficient and responsive. This case study demonstrates how the neuromorphic IoT architecture can be deployed in a real-world scenario, highlighting its benefits in terms of energy savings, reduced communication overhead, and improved system responsiveness.
