Description
Future wireless networks expect to accommodate a huge number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and provision low latency, context-aware services and applications in a flexible and efficient manner. To meet these peculiarities, one of the key approaches is mobile edge computing (MEC), which brings storage and computation resources in the proximity of mobile devices, to offer the end-users low-latency and high-bandwidth access to both information and computation resources. In addition, edge servers can facilitate data analytics to explore the hidden value of the collected data from IoT devices to support real-time decision making and provide value-added services.
MEC systems have to deal with many issues and real-time challenges. It should support various services with distinct quality of service (QoS) requirements in terms of latency, data rate, reliability, and so on. In addition, the service demands exhibit spatial and temporal dynamics due to bursty requests and user mobility. It is of importance to manage the heterogeneous communication and device type, storage, and computational resources that jointly affect the perceived performance of users. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also an emerging technology that has helped many other technologies in predicting future events and outages. The use of AI to support MEC quests in managing IoT devices is highly on-demand. The objective of this special session is to promote the benefits of MEC systems in IoT by addressing the aforementioned issues. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Performance analysis of MEC systems
- Cooperative caching and business models
- Joint optimization of heterogeneous resource
- Dynamic caching update
- ML Algorithms and AI systems for MEC systems
- Wireless Internet of Things
- Virtual resource management
- Tasks offloading
- Interaction between edge and cloud
- Green MEC systems
- Service mitigation in MEC systems
- Protocols for cooperative edge systems
- Security and privacy in MEC systems
- Prototype platforms and trial deployment
- Big data aided MEC systems
- Mobility- and Quality of Information-aware service caching
- Multimedia and QoE management in MEC systems
- Connected Vehicles IoT systems
- Blockchain Technology assisted MEC in IoT
