Cloud and Edge Computing in Wireless Sensor Networks and Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, cloud computing has become more and more popular with the increasing demand for reducing local storage and computing costs. However, due to the huge energy consumption and difficult internet access for many resource-constrained equipments when outsourcing, cloud computing cannot be adapted smoothly. Edge computing can be a solution to the above challenges. Compared with cloud computing, edge computing provides users with various services, such as more easily computing power, storage service and communication bandawidth, in a location closer to the user side. Its advantages include lower response delay, smaller core network bandwidth pressure, and more effective privacy protection and data security. Our Special Issue foucuses on the topic of edge and cloud computing in wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things:

• Network/cloud/edge protocol in cloud and edge computing;
• Network protocols in cloud and edge computing;
• Multimedia contents analysis in cloud and edge computing;
• Security, trust, and privacy in cloud and edge computing;
• Intelligent data processing of cloud and edge computing;
• Resource management and task scheduling of cloud and edge computing;
• Scalability problems and solutions of cloud and edge computing;
• Fog computing and Internet of Things technology for cloud and edge 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
