Journal of Cloud Computing welcomes submissions to the thematic series entitled "Fog/Edge computing for emotion analysis"
Fog and edge computing are promising paradigms for real time systems. The basic idea is to leverage a multitude of collaborative end devices and near-user infrastructures to carry out a substantial amount of computation, storage, and communication tasks, offering for low latency, energy efficient, and agile computation augmenting services. Fog/Edge naturally bridges the Internet of Things (IoT) with the existing internet computing infrastructure.
Fog/Edge Computing is expected to play an essential role in the field of emotion analysis supporting, for example, emotional behavior recognition systems, IoT for emotional behavior recognition, and so on. It has introduced a family of powerful methods that can help to solve the security and privacy problem in some IoT based emotion analysis systems. However, there are still challenges in these systems to be solved, such as scale and complexity, security criticality, dynamicity, and fault diagnosis and tolerance. Inspired by the challenges and the chances, more and more people are devoting efforts to this research direction. As such, the combination of Fog/Edge with emotion anaysis has quickly garnered much attention from both industry and academia.
This thematic series mainly introduces the clinical application of Fog/Edge, addressing classification, clustering, regression, and other methods of emotion analysis. Papers in the series will review the new progress and achievements of Fog/Edge technology in the field of Emotion Analysis in the past ten years.
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:
• Fog/Edge in medical image analysis
• Fog/Edge in mobile emotion analysis systems
• Mobile emotion analysis systems using fog/edge
• Emotion analysis in social media using fog/edge
• IoT of emotion analysis using fog/edge
• Emotion analysis equipment system using fog/edge
• Fog/edge encoding/decoding/processing of emotions
• Fog/edge content distribution of emotion analysis
• Resource allocation in emotion analysis with fog/edge systems
• Security and privacy in emotion analysis with fog/edge systems
• Fog/edge support for real-time emotion analysis
• Emotion analysis services and applications with fog/edge
