HCIS-IS 2024 : IS02: Edge Computing Technologies for Mobile Computing and Internet of Things (4th Edition)

With the rapid development of mobile internet, cyber-physical systems (CPS), and the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, conventional centralized cloud computing encounters severe challenges, such as high latency, low spectral efficiency, and non-adaptive machine type of communication. To help address these issues, the concept of edge, or fog computing, has been proposed. Edge Computing uses "gateway servers, cloudlets, fog nodes, and microdata centers," highly advanced and sophisticated technologies. In addition, the world has seen many breakthroughs in machine learning
and artificial intelligence research. By integrating the advances in smart devices and edge systems with the advances in machine learning, the future role of smart edge systems, networks, and applications is becoming limitless, and it's expected to revolutionize the world's future within the next few years.
This special session provides a platform for discussing the latest advancements in Fog/Edge Computing, which present both challenges and opportunities for various fields such as CPS, machine learning, big data, mobile computing, wireless networks, embedded systems, and IoT.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Architecture of edge systems.
• Resource Management Solutions Involving the Edge/Fog/Cloud.
• Experimental evaluation of edge computing.
• Co-existence of wireless technologies at the edge.
• Data collection and analytic techniques for mobile systems and applications.
• Edge systems, applications and services.
• Human factors for edge computing.
• Interactions between the edge, and the cloud.
• Emerging Fog Communication Technologies and Protocols (Time-Sensitive Networking, 5G).
