IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing Special Issue on Sustainability of Fog/Edge Computing Systems

Abstract

The papers in this special section focus on sustainability of edge computing systems. Edge computing is an emerging architectural and technical approach aimed at addressing various shortcomings in traditional cloud computing paradigms and responding to today’s constantly increasing data-demanding services such as Internet-of-Things, 5G embedded artificial intelligence and smart cities. In Fog/Edge Computing, nodes at the edge of a network are equipped with processing, storage, networking, etc. capabilities to take over several tasks that were used to be sent to cloud services. Pre-filtering and aggregation of data as well as online processing and actuation are sample procedures envisaged/dedicated to fog/ edge nodes.
