On the other hand, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a novel paradigm that extends cloud computing and services to the edge of the network. Due to dense geographical distribution, proximity to end-users, support for high mobility and open platform, MEC can support applications and services with reduced latency and improved QoS. Thus MEC is becoming an important enabler of consumer centric IoT applications and services that demand real-time operations. Standard development organizations like ETSI have also recognized the benefits IoT & MEC can bring to the consumers. Potential applications for MEC enabled IoT include smart mobility, emergency response, smart cities and environmental monitoring. This special issue solicits articles on MEC and IoT and provides a platform for engineers, researchers, industrial experts and other stakeholders to address several related challenges.</span><span style="color:#333333"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="color:#333333"><br><b>Suitable topics include:</b><u></u><u></u></span></p><div align="center"><table style="width:418.2pt;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="558"><tbody><tr><td style="width:120.5pt;border:solid white 1.0pt;border-right:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="161"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Current and future trends</span><u></u><u></u></p></td><td style="width:127.55pt;border:solid white 1.0pt;border-right:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="170"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Resource allocation and management challenges</span><u></u><u></u></p></td><td style="width:170.1pt;border:solid white 1.0pt;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="227"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Distributed mobile applications utilizing MEC and IoT</span><u></u><u></u></p></td></tr><tr><td style="width:120.5pt;border-top:none;border-left:solid white 1.0pt;border-bottom:solid white 1.0pt;border-right:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="161"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Performance evaluation of IoT and MEC test beds</span><u></u><u></u></p></td><td style="width:127.55pt;border-top:none;border-left:solid white 1.0pt;border-bottom:solid white 1.0pt;border-right:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="170"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Consumer centric IoT applications and services using MEC platforms</span><u></u><u></u></p></td><td style="width:170.1pt;border:solid white 1.0pt;border-top:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="227"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">M2M data processing, management and storage at MEC platforms</span><u></u><u></u></p></td></tr><tr><td style="width:120.5pt;border-top:none;border-left:solid white 1.0pt;border-bottom:solid white 1.0pt;border-right:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="161"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Virtualization of MEC functionalities</span><u></u><u></u></p></td><td style="width:127.55pt;border-top:none;border-left:solid white 1.0pt;border-bottom:solid white 1.0pt;border-right:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="170"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Security, privacy and trust</span><u></u><u></u></p></td><td style="width:170.1pt;border:solid white 1.0pt;border-top:none;background:#d9d9d9;padding:0in 1.4pt 0in 1.4pt" valign="top" width="227"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center" align="center"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Standards for IoT and MEC</span><u></u><u></u></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#333333"><br>Articles related to test bed deployment, current & future trend analysis, performance evaluation and next-generation technologies are particularly welcome.
