Empowering the Future Generation Systems: Opportunities by the Convergence of Cloud, Edge, AI, and IoT
The digital revolution is characterized by the convergence of technologies — from edge computing to cloud, Artificial Intelligence
(AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) — blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds. Although the four distinct technologies
evolved independently over time, they are increasingly becoming more intertwined. With more adaptation and development, we are
seeing a persistent convergence and fusion of these technologies resulting in an unprecedented paradigm shift that is expected to
disrupt and reshape the next generation systems in all the sectors in a way that the capabilities of the technologies are aligned in the
best possible way. Although the convergence of the four technologies can potentially tackle major shortcomings of today’s systems, its
adoption is still in its infancy phase, suffering from various issues, such as lack of consensus towards any reference models or best
practices. To enable this transformation and boost the value created by the aforementioned technologies, this special issue solicits
original work in all avenues of the next-generation systems based on the fusion of Edge, Cloud, AI, and IoT. The list of possible topics
includes, but not limited to:
• Novel theories, concepts, and paradigms of the Convergence of AI, • Event‐driven programming model
IoT, and Edge-Cloud • Quantum and Blockchain based serverless edge computing
• Standardization activities for Cloud, Edge, IoT, and AI as well as their • Containerization, microservices and serverless computing
convergence • Distributed execution frameworks
• Architecture design between Cloud and Edge for IoT • Collaborative and federated analytics
• Edge-Cloud computing technologies, services and applications • Big data capture
• Infrastructure – hardware, middleware and software • IoT data analytics
• Edge computing and distributed Cloud • Machine learning and data science in/for Edge-Cloud IoT
• Distributed computing architectures, algorithms, and models • ML-enabled methods, systems, infrastructure, and open issues
• Digital twin and metaverse using IoT data • Explainable AI for IoT data processing
• Co-design of data and computation management • Privacy-Preserving machine learning techniques
• AI for Quality-of-Service (QoS) management in IoT • Data mining and machine learning tools in cloud computing
• Edge-Fog-Cloud interplay • Data usage control
• Serverless management of IoT systems • Data ownership management
• Communication-aware Design between Cloud and Edge • Security, Privacy, and Trustworthiness
• QoS-aware computing offloading between Edge and Cloud in IoT • Adversarial examples attacks and defense
• Adaptive and scalable networks • The role of DLT and Blockchain in the convergence of AI, IoT, and
