Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Edge computing represents a transformative approach in data processing and network design, particularly impacting mobile systems. This technology shifts computation and data storage closer to the location where it is required, thus minimizing latency and conserving bandwidth. In the rapidly changing world of mobile technology, edge computing has become a key advancement, especially for delay-sensitive applications that require quick data processing. Mobile systems, including everything from autonomous vehicles to augmented reality, depend heavily on performing computationally demanding tasks within strict time limits. Due to the limited processing power of mobile devices, these tasks might experience significant delays.
Edge computing tackles this bottleneck by positioning computing servers at the network edge, such as at base stations, thus enabling mobile devices to offload demanding tasks for quick execution. This arrangement not only accelerates processing, but also drastically lowers latency when compared to cloud-based systems, enhancing the efficiency of mobile experiences. This Special Issue aims to gather innovative and original contributions concerning novel architectures, analyses, designs, and prototypes for mobile edge computing (MEC). We invite original research papers covering a large range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Resource management;
- Network architecture;
- Energy efficiency;
- Task handling;
- Machine learning-based optimization;
- Image processing;
- Image segmentation;
- Object detection;
- Object tracking;
- Cooperation mechanism;
- Bio-inspired system;
- 3D vision;
- Group control;
- Autonomous vehicles;
- hybrid automaton;
- Formal verification;
- Model checking;
- Maude system.

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.
