This issue of the Journal of Smart Sensors & Computing (Volume 1, Issue 3, December 2025) features a
multidisciplinary collection of research articles covering smart agriculture, neuromorphic computing, AI-based
disease detection and prediction, and machine learning applications in loan default prediction. The issue
methodological rigor, applied relevance, and interdisciplinary integration across smart sensing and
computational intelligence domains.
Salve et al.
[1]
present a comprehensive study on smart agriculture systems that integrate the Internet of Things
(IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) to enhance crop monitoring, optimize resource utilization, and support
sustainable farming practices. IoT-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) enable continuous real-time
acquisition of environmental and soil parameters, while ML algorithms analyze the collected data to facilitate
informed decision-making. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ensemble-based ML model
achieves high predictive accuracy, validating the effectiveness of combining multiple learning algorithms for
smart agriculture applications. Jadhav et al.

introduce UNAL (Unified Adaptive, Hardware-Agnostic
Neuromorphic Assembly Layer), a novel compilation framework that translates high-level Spiking Neural
Network (SNN) models into portable, spike-level assembly across heterogeneous neuromorphic platforms. The
framework incorporates a unified intermediate representation (UNAL-IR), a compact instruction set, and an
optimization-driven mapping pipeline that jointly addresses latency, energy efficiency, routing congestion, and
adaptability. Quantitative evaluations on standard SNN benchmarks (DVS Gesture and CIFAR-10 SNN) mapped
to Intel Loihi 2 demonstrate 1832% latency reduction, 2138% energy savings, and 2540% lower routing
congestion compared to Loihi-native and platform-specific toolchains. A smart-city surveillance case study
-time edge deployment, establishing UNAL as a scalable and
future-ready neuromorphic compiler infrastructure. Shegar et al.

propose a multi-class skin lesion
classification framework based on transfer learning, integrating an EfficientNet-B3 backbone with a
Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to enhance discriminative feature learning. EfficientNet-B3, pre-
trained on large-scale natural image datasets, serves as a robust feature extractor, while CBAM adaptively
emphasizes informative channel and spatial features, enabling the network to focus on diagnostically relevant
lesion regions while suppressing background artifacts. The model is trained and evaluated on the DermNet-23
dataset comprising 23 clinically significant skin disease classes. Experimental results show that the proposed
EfficientNet-B3 + CBAM model achieves 87.1% accuracy, an 85.6% macro-F1 score, and a 0.94 AUC,
outperforming baseline CNN, ResNet50, MobileNetV3, and standard EfficientNet-B3 models. Gour et al.
[4]
investigated the performance of ensemble machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, Gradient
Boosting, XGBoost, and LightGBM, for loan default prediction. Using a publicly available benchmark dataset, the
study adopts a systematic experimental workflow involving data preprocessing, feature engineering, class
imbalance handling, model training, and performance evaluation. The results, assessed using standard metrics
such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC, demonstrate the effectiveness of ensemble learning
approaches in improving predictive performance for financial risk assessment.
