This special issue in 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗜𝗙 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮: 𝟭.𝟱) focuses on Empowering the Future Generation Systems.

The digital revolution is characterized by the convergence of technologies — from edge computing to cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) — blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds. Although the four distinct technologies evolved independently over time, they are increasingly becoming more intertwined. With more adaptation and development, we are seeing a persistent convergence and fusion of these technologies resulting in an unprecedented paradigm shift that is expected to disrupt and reshape the next-generation systems in all the sectors in a way that the capabilities of the technologies are aligned in the best possible way. Although the convergence of the four technologies can potentially tackle major shortcomings of today’s systems, its adoption is still in its infancy phase, suffering from various issues, such as a lack of consensus towards any reference models or best practices. To enable this transformation and boost the value created by the aforementioned technologies, this special issue solicits original work in all avenues of the next-generation systems based on the fusion of Edge, Cloud, AI, and IoT.
