Edge-Enabled Big Data Intelligence for B5G and IoT Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a key role in the realization of smart cities, healthcare, and Industry 4.0. Massive implementations of the IoT continue to accumulate massive amounts of data. Big data processing and analysis technologies are playing an increasingly important role, making the world simpler, better, and smarter. The intelligence extracted from data processing and analysis especially provides unprecedented opportunities for a new wave of emerging applications. Meanwhile, it is well-known that big data processing and analysis require substantial computing and storage resources, which can be offered through cloud computing much easier than traditional IT. On the other hand, due to the needs of emerging 5G and B5G applications, there are many requirements in processing field data analysis to achieve low-latency response, such as unmanned driving and the intelligent control of manufacturing and transportation , which can be enabled through cloud/fog/edge computing. Therefore, we see the huge potential of cloud/fog/edge-based big data intelligence. This Special Issue aims to cover various aspects related to big data processing and analysis in conjunction with cloud/Fog/Edge computing for IoT, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
