Network Architectures and Edge/Fog Computing Solutions for B5G IoT Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The convergence of B5G (Beyond 5G) networks with IoT (Internet of Things) applications presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for network architects and researchers. In this Special Issue (SI), we focus on exploring network architectures and leveraging edge/fog computing solutions in order to optimize the deployment of B5G IoT applications. With the proliferation of IoT devices and the exponential growth of data generated at the network edge, efficient and scalable architectures are essential to meet the diverse requirements of emerging applications. This SI aims to provide a platform for researchers to share innovative solutions, methodologies, and case studies addressing the complexities of B5G IoT network architectures and edge/fog computing.

We invite submissions of original research papers, review articles, and case studies that advance our understanding, contributing to the development of robust and resilient network architectures for B5G IoT applications. Join us in shaping the future of B5G IoT networks through cutting-edge research and insights.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 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.
