Special issue on EDGE COMPUTING IN PERVASIVE SYSTEMS Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Elsevier) - IF 2.769

https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-pa...

SCOPE AND TOPICS

Edge computing is the utilization of computation / storage / connectivity resources available at the "edge" of the Internet: mobile user terminals (e.g., smart phones, tablets), smart objects (e.g., IoT sensors and actuators), access network devices (e.g., WiFi routers, cellular base stations). Calling back from remote datacenter cloud functions and deploying them on edge devices create a new world of opportunities for pervasive and mobile computing applications and services, which may benefit from very low latency, increased bandwidth, and immediate availability of user context (e.g., geographical position, radio network information, local network topology). This new network calls for novel control and data forwarding mechanisms to account for its intrinsic characteristics such as volatility, its distributed nature, and the decoupling of functions among heterogeneous hardware infrastructures.

This special issue invites technical papers that focus on both theoretical and applied research contributions and that present original ideas, analytical and simulation results, and real-world experiences in the context of smart edge computing.

This special issue will focus on (but will not be limited to) the following topics:

- Integration of edge computing in 5G (and beyond) technologies - Analytics, streaming, and real-time processing at the edge - Data storage, distribution, and management in edge systems - Edge computing for IoT and Industrial IoT applications - Distributed AI / ML solutions for edge systems - Security, privacy, and trustworthiness at the edge - Edge for the realization of cyber-physical pervasive systems - Distributed consensus and ledger technologies for edge computing - Communication protocols and technologies for edge networking - Programming and computation abstractions for edge computing - Modeling and performance evaluation of pervasive edge computing - Integration of edge computing in fog / (multi-)cloud scenarios - Lightweight edge virtualization to enable pervasive applications - New network architectures for distributed cellular deployments

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submissions have to be prepared according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal website at https://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing. Authors should select "VSI: Edge Computing", from the "Choose Article Type" pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over what appeared previously (at least 40% new material). Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant, previously published articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version.
