Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The MDPI journal Information invites submissions for a Special Issue on “Internet of Things and Cloud-Fog-Edge Computing, 2nd Edition”.
The ever-increasing number of connected objects requires more and more processing resources. Cloud computing has shown its limits, with problems of latency and link congestion linked to the volume of data transferred. To remedy this, some processing has been moved to the level between the cloud and the sensors (fog computing) and on the sensors (edge computing). These complementary approaches have made it possible to relieve the cloud layer, but new problems have emerged related to the distribution of processing between the different processing layers, the need to ensure end-to-end security to protect sensitive data, and privacy.
This Special Issue will invite high-quality, state-of-the-art research papers that deal with challenging issues in cloud, fog, and edge computing across the different parts of the IoT ecosystem. We request original papers of unpublished and completed research that are not currently under review by any other conference/journal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Internet of medical things (IoT);
- Smart communities and ubiquitous systems;
- Enabling technologies and emerging topics;
- IoT in healthcare;
- IoT in business and industry;
- IoT for resilient organizations;
- Confidential computing;
- Osmotic computing;
- Mobile edge computing;
- Mobile systems and applications;
- Blockchain;
- IoT security.
Papers should be formatted according to the MDPI template. Complete instructions for authors can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information/instructions

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. Information 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.
