- scalable systems for resource-intensive sensing
- edge computing for mobile health and augmented cognition
- decentralized IoT hubs
- hardware architectures for edge computing
- tamper-resistant infrastructure
- management techniques for dispersed infrastructure
- security and privacy issues in edge computing
- vehicular systems
- cellular infrastructure for edge computing
- tactile Internet applications
- edge-mediated crowd-sourcing
- software infrastructure for cloudlets
- edge-based fault-tolerance, replication, consistency and availability
- edge-based real time applications and quality of service
- load balancing and service selection at the edge
- edge-based authentication, authorization and billing
- resource provisioning and metering of edge infrastructure
- deployment and management of edge services
- programming models and tookits for edge computing
- operating system support for edge services, including virtualization and containerization
- interactions between the edge and the cloud
