** Background

The rapid proliferation of edge computing has transformed traditional cloud-based architectures, enabling low-latency, high-reliability, and resource-efficient applications.  Recent concepts, such as serverless on edge, revolutionise the design of distributed application development within a convergent edge-cloud continuum. As the process of convergent edge and cloud infrastructures continues, there is an increase in the need for novel networking paradigms to support seamless connectivity, efficient resource management, advanced infrastructure automation, and enhanced security.

This Special Issue of IEEE Networking Letters aims to bring together cutting-edge research on the networking aspects of edge-cloud computing infrastructures, covering innovative architectures, protocols, and applications.

** Call for papers

We invite original contributions that address key challenges in edge-cloud networking, including scalable and resilient architectures, intelligent resource orchestration, performance optimization, and security mechanisms. Papers focusing on emerging technologies such as 5G/6G, AI-driven networking, quantum communications, and network virtualization are especially encouraged. The Special Issue will also welcome real-world implementations, testbeds, and case studies demonstrating the impact of edge-cloud networking in various domains such as IoT, smart cities, AI-driven analytics, and real-time applications.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit high-quality contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in edge-cloud networking.
