Deep learning in edge computing for massive parallel processing of IoT data streams

Journal of Cloud Computing welcomes submissions to the thematic series entitled "Deep learning in edge computing for massive parallel processing of IoT data streams"

Deep learning is a promising technique for extracting precise information from raw sensor data from IoT devices adopted in real time environments. In addition, the multi-layer structure of deep learning is more appropriate in the edge computing environment. There have also been rapid advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and the number of IoT connected devices at the edges of the Internet is growing exponentially, into billions of connected devices. While this has brought unforeseen opportunities for all fields of science, engineering, businesses, etc., a number of challenges have also arisen such as the architectural challenge and the data deluge challenge.

Such challenges have been addressed by the IoT Cloud, namely, the IoT layer is directly connected to Cloud data centres to support IoT management and Big Data / Big Data stream processing. However, there are clear limitations of the IoT Cloud and traditional edge computing models have rigid characteristics. Integration of deep learning with edge computing architecture can help resolve the rigidity inherent in IoT edge computing. The focus of this special issue combines deep learning into edge computing to reveal latest research findings and developments in the field of IoT-edge computing.  We also expect submissions from fundamental results to real life applications and case studies, motivated by the need of massively deep learning algorithms in edge computing to achieve efficiency and availability of IoT data streams processing.

We invite original research articles, with an emphasis on deep learning paradigms in real-time IoT-edge computing applications, as well as review articles that will stimulate further activities in this area and improve our understanding of the key scientific problems. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • Deep learning for design and development adaptive self-healing and resilient edge computing systems
  • Deep learning algorithms co-designed for computing and/or learning at the edge
  • Methodologies to design and test intelligent edge systems, with emphasis on power, latency, and security requirements
  • Benchmarking deep learning workloads and/or frameworks on the edge, including accuracy, performance, power and energy etc.
  • Hierarchical and distributed approaches to enable edge IoT computing
  • Deep/Machine learning for IoT signal processing on edge device
  • Information-theoretic signal learning on edge IoT devices
  • Deep learning and low-resource machine learning for IoT data streams
  • Fog, edge and mist computing for Deep learning in IoT applications (health
  • Management, risk prediction and social network analysis etc)
