Guest Editorial: Special Issue on “Advanced Communications and Networking”

Abstract

The recently emerged new computing paradigms, such as Edge/Fog computing, try to distribute services away from centralized data centers by exploiting the concept of cloudlets. While it also brings additional difficulties and challenges in terms of resource allocation, performance optimization, energy cost, link switch, security, and privacy issues. Therefore, it becomes a necessity to integrate new computing techniques into the traditional service computing paradigm. We invite some outstanding accepted papers of ChinaCom 2019 in their extended versions and open for other submissions to this special issue. Finally, we have five papers for this special issue.
