Resource Management in Cloud/Edge Computing

Dear Colleagues,

Edge computing has emerged as a challenging technology to complement the well-known benefits of cloud computing, adding the capacity to exploit features derived from locality as its main additional advantage. For this reason, environments leveraging the capabilities of both technological paradigms, cloud and edge, are becoming prominent. While the cloud is built as a massive amount of homogeneous resources, the edge is conceived as a highly heterogeneous environment, posing additional challenges to their management.

This Special Issue is intended to collect the state of the art in resources management in the context of both cloud computing and edge computing as well as environments which combine cloud and edge technologies. We invite high-quality submissions from academia and industry that address topics related to any stage of the resources management process, including, but not limited to resources discovery, resources classification and organization, resources allocation, resources clustering, resources orchestration, static and dynamic scheduling, resources interoperability and portability, resources monitoring, green management, security and privacy at the edge, and fault tolerance in resources management.
