Introduction

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the way critical infrastructure systems are monitored and managed [1]. IoT devices, such as sensors and actuators, are now widely used to collect real-time data from various assets within infrastructure systems, such as power grids, transportation networks, water supply systems, and industrial plants [2]. These sensors provide continuous streams of data that enable the detection of irregularities, predicting failures, and optimizing operations [3]. The sheer volume, velocity, and variety of IoT-generated data present significant challenges for real-time processing and analysis [4]. To harness the potential of this data for enhancing the reliability and safety of critical infrastructure, advanced computational methods such as deep learning are needed [5]. Deep learning models, which are

adept at recognizing patterns in large, complex datasets, offer a powerful tool for developing predictive maintenance systems, anomaly detection, and early warning systems that can prevent catastrophic failures and downtime [7]. The promising potential of integrating IoT sensor data with deep learning models, achieving scalability remains a significant challenge in real-world applications [8]. As the scale of IoT networks increases, so does the complexity of managing and processing the vast amounts of sensor data generated [9]. In particular, deep learning models require significant computational resources, which can strain both edge devices and cloud infrastructures [10]. Additionally, the need for real-time data processing and decision-making was critical in applications where delays can lead to severe consequences, such as power outages or system failures [11]. Addressing these scalability challenges requires the development of more efficient algorithms, architectures, and system designs that can effectively handle the increased data load while ensuring fast and reliable processing [12].
