Dear Colleagues,
Edge computing and cloud computing have emerged as transformative technologies in the digital landscape, revolutionizing data processing, storage, and analysis across various sectors. This Special Issue, titled "Edge Computing and Cloud Computing: Latest Advances and Prospects", will explore cutting-edge developments and future directions in these interconnected fields.
This Special Issue will present original research, comprehensive reviews, and innovative case studies that address the following key areas:
- Advancements in edge computing architectures and frameworks;
- Novel cloud computing paradigms and service models;
- Integration strategies for edge-cloud ecosystems;
- Security and privacy challenges in distributed computing environments;
- Energy-efficient and sustainable computing solutions;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence at the edge;
- Edge-cloud continuum for Internet of Things (IoT) applications;
- Performance optimization techniques for edge-cloud systems;
- Edge-cloud solutions for 5G and beyond networks;
- Emerging trends in fog computing and mobile edge computing.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to contribute their latest findings, methodologies, and insights to this Special Issue. Submissions should present novel approaches, empirical studies, or theoretical frameworks that advance our collective understanding and the implementation of edge and cloud computing technologies. The selected papers will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art and future prospects in this dynamic field.
