Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interconnection of AI devices marks a pivotal event in the transition of society from the information age to the era of intelligence. Therefore, with the widespread adoption and application of an increasing number of intelligent devices, particularly mobile smart devices, traditional computational paradigms are encountering significant challenges in deployment, testing, and implementation. More flexible, data-proximate, and highly real-time computing architectures have become a focal point of joint interest in both academia and industry.
Accordingly, this Special Issue focuses on mobile fog and edge computing, aiming to foster innovative discussions on corresponding topics to advance the development of computing paradigms adapted to the next generation of networks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design, testing, performance evaluation, and security analysis of next-generation mobile fog computing and edge computing paradigms;
- The training and deployment of artificial intelligence models based on novel computing paradigms;
- Design and analysis of network communication protocols in mobile computing scenarios;
- Optimization of novel applications and algorithmic research in mobile computing contexts;
- Design and analysis of next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) network protocols;
- Autonomous collaborative optimization and decision-making among multiple intelligent agents in mobile computing scenarios;
- 5G/6G-enabled mobile computing scenarios;
- End-to-end LLMs applications in mobile computing scenarios;
- 9. Multimodal large model applications for mobile computing scenarios.

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. Computers is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
