Recent Advance of Computing Power Networks at the Edge

Dear Colleagues,

In the era of the Internet of Everything, the surge in computing demands is presenting significant challenges. The conventional architecture of cloud computing falls short in terms of meeting the stringent requirements of latency, bandwidth, security, and privacy for massive data processing. As the number of endpoint devices continues to grow, and as the computational burden on the cloud intensifies, the migration of cloud computing tasks, such as artificial intelligence (AI) tasks, to the edge has emerged as a pivotal technological trend.

Nevertheless, edge computing resources are inherently constrained and costly compared to their cloud counterparts. Consequently, exploring the possibilities to establish a cost-effective, efficient, and resilient computing power network at the edge of interest as a research topic.

Potential submission themes include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Communication infrastructure for computing power networks at the edge;
• Programming models and toolkits for computing power networks at the edge;
• AI services on the edge;
• Emerging applications at the edge;
• Resource management for computing power networks at the edge;
• Security and privacy issues of computing power networks at the edge.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
