Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cloud computing and high-performance computing have emerged in the past two decades for the computer and communications technology industry. With the maturity of cloud technologies and service models, the cloud-first strategy has become essential for business operations and the maintenance of a variety of applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), the Internet of Things (IoT), fifth generation (5G) communications, telematics, and so on. However, high-performance computing continues to face many challenges, particularly regarding its ability to fulfill the service requirements of emerging applications. For example, 5G and telematic applications require ultra-low latency for network delay, AI and machine learning applications require high computing throughputs for model training, big data applications require a high storage I/O performance for data-intensive processing, IoT applications require a high-speed network I/O for rapid packet processing from massive edge devices or connected vehicles, and emerging techniques related to next-generation internet require serverless computing and function as a service. In order to connect experts from the academic and industrial communities, we invite researchers to submit original research articles that present state-of-the-art techniques to this Special Issue on cloud and high-performance computing. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Emerging technologies with enhanced performance awareness on cloud and high-performance computing;
- Performance benchmarking and analysis for emerging cloud and high-performance computing systems;
- Novel algorithms and models for parallel and distributed processing;
- Resource management and job scheduling for high-performance AI and ML on distributed systems;
- Elastic resource provisioning for cloud–fog and edge computing frameworks;
- Service orchestration for virtualized or containerized network functions on 5G or beyond 5G clouds;
- Serverless and function as a service for next-generation computing.

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. Future Internet 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 1600 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.
