Resource Management in Fog/Edge Computing

Dear Colleagues,

Resource management in fog and edge computing is a research topic that has determinant impact on the performance of a cloud extension toward the end user. Technology developments have challenged the resource management community to search for more dynamic, smart, and agile solutions that help addressing leading research questions that integrates cloud functionality with edge and fog technologies, also in terms of resource allocation and management. In this Special Issue, we are interested in articles that show and demonstrate how resource management developments in fog and edge computing environments outperform the present state of the art.

For this Special Issue, we invite original research papers on new resource management proposals for fog/edge computing scenarios. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

- Cloud and edge networking architectures for large-scale deployments;

- Implementations of edge containerized resource management;

- Agile edge/fog service orchestration;

- Fog resource management proposals for IoT applications;

- Virtualized infrastructure management approaches for mobility;

- Smart edge/fog service management;

- Security-wise edge/fog resource management proposals;

- Artificial intelligence applied to resource management at the edge/fog;

- Performance analysis of edge/fog resource management proposals;

- Edge-related communication protocols.
