Special Issue on Mobile and Edge Computing Systems

The ubiquitous deployment of mobile computing platforms and embedded Internet of Things devices have catalyzed the development of various computing services deeply embedded to our everyday lives. Recently with relatively more powerful edge platforms, computationally heavy tasks that could not be previously enabled using resource limited mobile and embedded platforms can be realized to enable a richer set of localized services. The combination of mobile and edge computing systems has enabled the use of tasks such as various deep learning techniques and computationally heavy blockchains to mobile and embedded computing scenarios, but have also introduced new challenges related to utilizing the limited resources, maintaining user privacy and preserving energy efficiency.

The objective of this special issue is to explore recent advances in mobile and edge computing systems to address practical and fundamental challenges. Networking, security, and AI-based schemes to support mobile and edge computing systems as well as application designs are all potential topics that can collectively tackle such challenges. Specifically, potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

●  Intelligent deployment of mobile and edge computing systems

●  Deep learning technologies for mobile and edge computing

●  Novel communication and network paradigms for mobile and edge computing

●  Latency and energy-aware computing

●  Deep learning model offloading

●  Intelligent security and privacy provisioning for mobile and edge computing platforms and systems

●  Novel applications and testbeds for mobile and edge computing systems
