Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the explosive growth of data traffic in Internet-of-Thing (IoT) systems, machine learning and data-driven approaches are expected to become a key enabler to fuel the development of beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks. Standard machine learning approaches require centralizing the training data on a single data center such as a cloud. However, due to privacy constraints and limited communication resources for data transmission, it is impractical for all wireless devices to transmit all of their collected data to a data center that can use the collected data to implement centralized machine learning algorithms for data analysis and inference. This has led to the emergence of a fast-growing research area, called edge learning, which can deeply integrate the two major areas: wireless communication and machine learning. Recently, the big AI model (or foundation model) has received a lot of attention, which is an emerging paradigm for building a unified machine learning system based on a generic class of AI models. As an example, the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT), has been successfully applied to natural language processing and many other computational tasks. Thereby, we seek to bring together researchers from academia and industry to introduce to the communications community the latest advances in edge learning and big AI models.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
