Integration of Edge/Fog Artificial Intelligence into Smart Distributed Systems

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade, edge and fog computing has drawn attractions from many industries and academia. These computing paradigms not only address the need for low-latency and real-time applications by performing computing at the edge of a network but also proffer capabilities to improve the quality of service. Nowadays, edge and fog computing have further evolved with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), offering more innovative solutions and architectures across various domains including IoT applications and smart distributed systems. These solutions and architectures bring AI closer to the data sources to overcome the limitations of centralized systems using cloud computing.

This special issue, titled “Integration of Edge/Fog Artificial Intelligence into Smart Distributed Systems,” invites researchers, scholars, and industry experts to contribute their innovative work and perspectives. We aim to explore key challenges and novel solutions in the intersection of edge/fog computing and artificial, particularly as they apply to IoT applications and smart distributed systems. Submissions are welcomed but not limited to the following areas:

• New paradigms, concepts, and architectures in Edge-AI systems.
• Distributed learning and model training using decentralized algorithms
• AI model deployment at the Edge/Fog
• On devices inference for distributed decision making
• Data processing and information extraction at smart edge devices
• Autonomous contextual awareness with Edge AI
• Decentralized algorithms/approaches for scalability, interoperability, and adaptability in distributed systems
• Distributed fault tolerance approaches used for maintaining quality of service
• Distributed computation offloading algorithms

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
