Call for Papers: Smart Edge Computing and IoT (special issue in IEEE Transactions on Computers)

Scope and topics:
The evolution of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) is changing the nature of edge-computing devices. End-nodes have to support, in-place, an increasing range of functionality: multi-sensory data processing and analysis, complex systems control strategies and, ultimately, artificial intelligence. These new capabilities will enable disruptive innovation in wearable and implantablebiomedical devices, autonomous insect-sized drones, autonomous smart environmental sensing, safety-critical real-time applications and structural health monitoring, and more.In this special issue, we are seeking contributions on IoT Smart Edge Computing Architectures, Systems and related hardware-software design approaches.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Hardware-Software design approaches for smart edge processing
• Heterogeneous systems-on-chip and architecture for energy efficient smart edge processing 
• Low power analog and mixed signal computing, in-memory computing, in-sensor computing
• Edge Machine-learning architectures dealing with sensor and signal variabilities 
• Neuro-symbolic, brain- and bio-inspired computing paradigms for edge processing 
• IO and Peripherals for energy efficient interfaces in edge computing system
• Edge processing for biomedical IoT systems and Human Machine Interaction 
• Smart edge IoT devices for structural health monitoring and predictive maintenance 
• Real-time and safety-critical smart edge sensors for industrial IoT.
