Summary

'Edge Computing' is a computing model that utilizes network edge resources. 'Fog Computing' is a paradigm that uses both on-premises hardware and cloud services. The goal of edge computing is to transfer processing away from the data center to the network edge, where IoT devices, mobile phones, or network gateways can perform processing and deliver services on behalf of the cloud. The problem with fog computing is that it has expanded the scope of edge computing that requires data processing at the network edge and is a distributed paradigm that provides cloud-like services to the network edge. Sometimes Fog computing can be defined as a programming and communication model that physically or computationally brings cloud resources closer to IoT devices. For example, many IoT applications suffer from cloud computing problems such as latency, location recognition, and real-time mobility support. Fog computing is providing solutions to these problems, which becomes an important factor with many applications in sensitive industries. Fog/edge computing for the efficient operation of IoT is widely applied in fields such as healthcare, industry, education, health, logistics, and safety.

 

The main topics of this special issue are state-of-the-art technologies and research for practical use or application in the field of fog/edge computing with IoT. Real cases and technical studies in various fields are recruited with fog/edge computing technology, and research cases applied to fog/edge computing with artificial intelligence/deep learning are recruited.

    A Latency-Aware and Fault-Tolerant Framework for Resource Scheduling and Data Management in Fog-Enabled Smart City Transportation Systems

    Ibrar Afzal, Noor ul Amin, Zulfiqar Ahmad, Abdulmohsen Algarni
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.057755
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Practical Application and Services in Fog/Edge Computing System)
    Abstract The deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) with smart sensors has facilitated the emergence of fog computing as an important technology for delivering services to smart environments such as campuses, smart cities, and smart transportation systems. Fog computing tackles a range of challenges, including processing, storage, bandwidth, latency, and reliability, by locally distributing secure information through end nodes. Consisting of endpoints, fog nodes, and back-end cloud infrastructure, it provides advanced capabilities beyond traditional cloud computing. In smart environments, particularly within smart city transportation systems, the abundance of devices and nodes poses significant challenges related… More >

    Offload Strategy for Edge Computing in Satellite Networks Based on Software Defined Network

    Zhiguo Liu, Yuqing Gui, Lin Wang, Yingru Jiang
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.057353
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Practical Application and Services in Fog/Edge Computing System)
    Abstract Satellite edge computing has garnered significant attention from researchers; however, processing a large volume of tasks within multi-node satellite networks still poses considerable challenges. The sharp increase in user demand for latency-sensitive tasks has inevitably led to offloading bottlenecks and insufficient computational capacity on individual satellite edge servers, making it necessary to implement effective task offloading scheduling to enhance user experience. In this paper, we propose a priority-based task scheduling strategy based on a Software-Defined Network (SDN) framework for satellite-terrestrial integrated networks, which clarifies the execution order of tasks based on their priority. Subsequently, we More >
