Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The computing world is rapidly transforming into an expansive, interconnected, highly diverse distributed system. Internet of Things (IoT) devices are at the forefront of this evolution, generating unprecedented volumes of data. This surge in data production is forerunning a new era of computing paradigms, necessitating a fundamental shift from centralized cloud to decentralized edge computation. This transformation requires enabling distributed intelligence for efficient data processing and communication and ensuring a seamless continuum between the edge and cloud. This evolution shapes the future of resilient, efficient, and intelligent next-generation networks.
This Special Issue delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by this transition. Our focus is on cloud and edge computing, particularly in the context of distributed intelligence and networking. Distributed intelligence empowers a system to make autonomous decisions, stay updated, and operate based on local data and models without centralized control and coordination.
Potential submission topics include the following:
- Edge computing in IoT and 5G networks.
- Next-generation network architectures for the cloud-edge continuum.
- Strategies for task offloading in the cloud-edge continuum.
- Resource management and allocation using distributed intelligence.
- Update mechanisms for distributed learning systems.
- Policies for resilient, fault-tolerant distributed computing.
- Privacy-aware processing and communication in distributed 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. Future Internet 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 1600 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.
