*Special Issue on *
Resource Management of IoT Edge devices: Challenges, Techniques, and
Solutions
*Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley Press) *

*Call for Papers *

With the growth of Internet of things (IoT) paradigm, there has been a
tremendous makeshift in how the distributed devices work to achieve a
common goal. However, it remains essential that all these devices work in a
coherent manner to perform a collective action. This makes the task of
resource provisioning extremely important in such a paradigm. The end-user
level in IoT mostly comprise of the low computation and communication
powered devices. An improper utilization of the available resources in such
a scenario burdens the complete system and degrades the quality of service.
In such a scenario, the use of cloud computing techniques can help to
manage the resources effectively.

More so, with the emergence of relatively newer cloud-based technologies
such as edge and fog computing, resource management in the IoT has become
far more effective. These technologies bring the computation and
communication capabilities closer to the IoT devices where some of the
services can be offloaded to the edge devices. These devices are called IoT
edge devices and they provide a unique opportunity to tackle some of the
existing and pertinent issues for resource management in IoT paradigms; yet
at the same time, they face their own set of challenges. However, the use
of IoT edge devices in a traditional IoT paradigm results in better
utilization of the available resources as well as improving the overall
quality of service.
Keeping this in mind, this special issue will address the resource
management in IoT edge devices with the focus on various challenges faced,
and potential techniques and solutions to address such challenges by
leveraging IoT edge devices. The researchers, both at the academic and
industrial level, working on resource management in IoT edge devices can
share their latest results to create wider awareness about their schemes.
The topics of interest include (but not necessarily limited to):

   -  Resource provisioning using IoT edge devices
   - Improving quality of service using IoT edge devices
   - Novel architectures for integrating IoT models with edge devices
   -  Use of advanced learning methods such as artificial intelligence and
   deep learning for resource management in IoT edge devices
   - Exploiting edge devices for computation offloading in IoT paradigms
   - Analysis of overheads and requirements for using IoT edge devices
   - Security and resilience issues in IoT edge devices

We seek submission of papers that present new, original and innovative
ideas for the "first" time in SPE. Submission of "extended versions" of
already published works (e.g., conference papers) with more than 50% brand
"new" material is allowed. If you are submitting an extended version, you
must submit a cover letter detailing the "Summary of Differences" between
the submitted SPE paper and the published paper.
