Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, Internet of Thing (IoT) devices have been vastly proliferated into many aspects of everyday life. The introduction of increasingly more capable devices makes them naturally central in the Edge and Fog computing paradigms. Exploring their interactions, collaboration, and communication capabilities is now a relevant research topic that enables the maximization of their use in several different scenarios.
Many problems, such as dealing with their heterogeneity, communication, computing, and storage capabilities, stem from the need to explore such devices in those contexts. Thus, new research is needed to find solutions for the various challenges resulting from the utilizations of devices such as Edge and Fog nodes. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles on all aspects of the use of IoT devices in the context of Edge and Fog computing paradigms. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- IoT devices for Edge computing;
- IoT devices for Fog computing;
- Computational offloading;
- Programming paradigms for IoT devices;
- Protocols for distributed computing with IoT devices;
- Ad-Hoc networks and IoT devices;
- Abstraction of heterogeneous IoT devices;
- Resource reservation in IoT devices;
- Scheduling in IoT devices;
- Parallel processing in IoT devices;
- Coalitions of IoT devices;
- Performance of IoT devices in the context of Edge and Fog;
- QoS management in IoT devices;
- Orchestration of IoT devices;
- Security issues in IoT devices;
- Embedded systems.

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. Computers is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
