===========================================
Dear Colleagues,

The Edge paradigm (exploitation of decentralized and virtualized
processing, storage, and networking resources at network edges, such as
in fog computing, 5G/6G, Edge-cloud computing, etc.) is revitalized by a
number of research areas, including autonomous vehicles, personal
assistants, smart cities, smart industry, and increased resiliency.
These distributed Edge computing systems with varying degrees of
reasoning abilities are continuously evolving as sophisticated
cyber-physical and/or sociotechnical systems. Rapid progress has been
witnessed in the recent past in the modeling of these systems via
machine learning, semantic computing, deductive systems, mathematical
and statistical heuristic-oriented approaches, etc. This Special Issue
aims at hosting articles from computing sciences and multidisciplinary
application-oriented research to provide a timely and comprehensive
overview of the current state-of-the-art in terms of innovations and
technological advances towards exploiting various aspects of the Edge
paradigm applied to different application domains of IoT networks. The
topics of interest include but are not limited to:

     Edge deployment architectures and models;
     Edge programming paradigms for the IoT;
     Edge resource management and orchestration;
     Evaluation of network technology interfaces at Edge nodes;
     Protocols and architectures for information-centric wireless Edge
networking;
     Computation offloading vis-à-vis enriching on-device
hardware/software capabilities at handheld edges;
     Edge handoff mechanisms, strategies, and management;
     Baseline performance evaluation for Edge infrastructure and
applications;
     Industry adoption use cases of Edge computing paradigm;
     Edge computing for scalable smart city applications;
     Edge computing for vehicular clouds;
     Edge computing for personal assistance and mobile services;
     Machine learning for Edge computing and Edge computing for
distributed machine learning;
     Sustainable digitalization of the manufacturing industry for
futuristic technologies (Industry 5.0, 6G);
     Security and privacy aspects of federated Edge learning systems;
     Trust management for Edge-enabled IoT ecosystems.
