Scope and Objectives
The development of mobile devices and edge computing leads to the explosive deployment of mobile services and IoT applications; the recent development of advanced algorithms such as deep learning has shown great potential in resource allocation and service orchestration. The deep integration of the above technologies provides a wide range of opportunities for the realization of future edge-assisted intelligent IoT systems. On the other hand, there are many challenges to realize an efficient and sustainable ecosystem. The challenges are broad and include device technologies, communication and networking technologies, cloud and edge computing technologies, energy harvesting technologies, incentive and marketing mechanisms, and the ethical implications of IoT devices.
In fact, The use of the smart IoT and edge devices in various contexts such as smart homes, supermarkets, farms, hospitals and elderly care facilities is becoming increasingly popular. In such environments, multiple users can use smart devices to interact with collections of other smart devices. However, managing the interaction behavior of a collection of heterogeneous devices and ensuring responsible behavior in a human-centric way remains a challenge. For this purpose, it is urgent to design a policy-based development methodology to make smart devices more human-centric and ethical.
This SIG focus on addressing the above issues with advanced IoT and edge computing technologies, contributing to the future smart and sustainable society. We will focus on the following topics:
– Multiaccess networks and resource management
– Blockchain and related applications in mobile environment
– Cooperative communications
– Cooperative and smart Internet of Things
– Ethical smart devices and data management
– V2X (vehicular to everything) technologies
– Mobile network management and virtualization
– Software defined networks for mobile networking
– Routing and resource allocation for hybrid network (hNets)
– Game-theoretical analysis for the future mobile networking market
– 5G network architecture, management technologies, and services
– Operation and management of virtualized network functions
– Network function virtualization and software defined networking
– Information-Centric Networking and Named-Data-Networking technologies for mobile networks
– Joint management and orchestration of cloud and networking
– Energy efficiency for multiaccess networks
– Energy harvesting technologies for mobile networks
– Advanced algorithms such as Deep Learning for mobile network management
– Security and privacy issues for emerging mobile services
– Emerging multimedia services, service enablers and management
– Mobile edge computing (MEC) architecture, protocol, and services
– Design, implementation, and testbed/experimental evaluations
– Advanced education technologies with IoT and edge computing technologies
