'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.
