Special Issue on 6G Enabled Intelligent Edge Computing and Human-Centric IoT
Día de Entrega: 2025-05-30

Theme and Scope

With the increasing demand for high-speed and low-latency connections, the development of 6G networks that surpass the performance of existing 5G networks is accelerating. 6G networks, which will enable enhanced mobile broadband, a wide range of mechanical communications, highly reliable low latency, sensing capabilities, and application services covering artificial intelligence (AI), will integrate edge and core computing as components of a unified communication and computational infrastructure. As high communication speed and efficient data processing become possible, the utilization of IoT and edge computing technologies based on 6G networks will be applied in various fields such as human-centered real-life technology, safety, convenience technology, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and telemedicine. Various business models and strategies applying this technology will also emerge.

For edge computing platforms, instead of transferring all the collected data directly to the centralized cloud, they can preprocess the data at edge nodes, reducing service latency and energy consumption compared to centralized cloud platforms. In particular, intelligent edge computing provides an opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of IoT and meet the requirements of remote IoT services. Due to these advantages, intelligent edge computing based on 6G is being studied in various fields and methods such as human-centered convenience, efficiency, and service support in smart homes, offices, transportation, healthcare and medical, smart cities, intelligent communication, and smart agriculture.

Additionally, in recent years, various IoT devices such as home appliances, sensors, actuators, and drones are being connected to an integrated IoT network where each component can interact. Research on device-edge-cloud continuum platforms that utilize the rich functions and resources provided by edge nodes and the cloud is also underway.

This special issue collects the latest technologies and research papers on 6G enabled intelligent edge computing technology and human-centric IoT application, system and platform development, and empirical service implementation and utilization. It also includes application technologies in various fields such as machine learning for IoT, intelligent edge computing management using deep learning, business models and verification, human-centeric IoT utilization and services, and intelligent smart agriculture based on edge computing. Submitted papers are processed by peer review and must adhere to journal regulations. The topics of the special issue are as follows:

Theme and Scope

AI technologies have brought significant changes to the industry, and these changes are likely to continue influencing the community in the post-pandemic era. Here are some potential prospects of AI technologies for science and industry:

1. Enhanced Data Analysis and Predictive Capabilities: AI technologies have shown great potential in data analysis and predictive capabilities. Companies and research institutions use AI to process and analyze large volumes of data, allowing for more accurate predictions of market trends, consumer behavior, and scientific research directions. This not only improves decision-making accuracy but also significantly reduces the time required for analysis, enhancing operational efficiency and competitiveness. For example, AI can analyze medical data to predict disease outbreaks in advance and develop effective countermeasures.

2. Intelligent Automation and Productivity Improvement: The application of AI technologies in automation has dramatically changed traditional workflows. By incorporating machine learning and natural language processing technologies, many repetitive and low-value tasks can be automated, freeing up human resources to focus on more creative and strategic tasks. Intelligent manufacturing systems in the industrial sector, intelligent customer service in the financial industry, and automated delivery systems in logistics are all typical examples of AI-driven intelligent automation.

3. Personalized Experiences and Service Innovation: AI technologies enable companies to offer highly personalized products and services based on individual needs and preferences. By using deep learning algorithms to analyze user data, companies can provide customized recommendations and service plans for each consumer, thereby improving customer satisfaction and loyalty. For instance, e-commerce platforms use AI to recommend products to consumers, and streaming services offer personalized content recommendations, all of which significantly enhance user experience and market competitiveness.

4. Enhanced Security and Risk Management: With the rapid growth of data and the evolving nature of cyber threats, the application of AI in security and risk management has become increasingly important. AI technologies can monitor and analyze network activities in real-time, quickly identifying and responding to potential security threats, thereby significantly improving the security protection capabilities of enterprises and organizations. Additionally, AI plays a crucial role in risk management in the financial sector by analyzing transaction data and market trends to help companies predict and manage risks, ensuring stable business operations.
