In doing so, edge computing enables an infrastructure for processing the data directly from devices with low latency, battery consumption and bandwidth cost. With opportunities for research and advanced applications such as augmented reality and wearable cognitive assistance come new challenges. This special issue reports the current re? search on various topics related to edge computing, addressing the challenges in the enabling technologies and practical implementations.展开更多
