Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As edge servers and devices evolve in storage, computing, and processing capabilities, the paradigm of centralized networks is shifting to decentralized ones. In decentralized or distributed wireless networks, various wireless edge technologies have been largely developed to reduce service delays and excessive data traffic on the core network by efficiently utilizing improved resources and capabilities of storage, computing, and processing at the wireless edge. Representatively, with the development of memory and non-memory semiconductors, wireless caching and edge computing technologies have been extensively researched. Also, improved deep learning algorithms allow distributed learning, in which edge devices can train the deep neural network by themselves to contribute the global model training. Incorporating these recent wireless edge technologies, a novel wireless edge network is expected to control tradeoffs among various performance indicators and to optimize multiple tasks, such as communications, caching, computing, and learning. For this goal, this Special Issue aims to bring together researchers, industry practitioners, and individuals working on these related areas to share their new ideas, latest findings, and state-of-the-art results.

This Special Issue includes fundamental analyses and proposals of state-of-the-arts in wireless edge technologies, such as edge computing, wireless caching, and distributed learning, for a variety of application scenarios, such as cellular networks, Internet-of-Things, content delivery networks, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), distributed smart grids, etc.

Data-intensive applications are generating massive amounts of data which is stored on cloud computing platforms where distributed file systems are utilized for storage at the back end. Most users of those applications deployed on cloud computing systems read data more often than they write. Hence, enhancing the performance of read operations is an important research issue. Prefetching and caching are used as important techniques in the context of distributed file systems to improve the performance of read operations. In this research, we introduced a novel highly relevant frequent patterns (HRFP)-based algorithm that prefetches content from the distributed file system environment and stores it in the client-side caches that are present in the same environment. We have also introduced a new replacement policy and an efficient migration technique for moving the patterns from the main memory caches to the caches present in the solid-state devices based on a new metric namely the relevancy of the patterns. According to the simulation results, the proposed approach outperformed other algorithms that have been suggested in the literature by a minimum of 15% and a maximum of 53%. Full article
