Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, coupled with highly distributed environments such as the cloud–edge continuum, have facilitated the development of complex, heterogeneous, and distributed applications that harness the local processing capabilities of smart devices and the immense computational power provided by cloud servers. However, the inherent complexity of such distributed environments inevitably gives rise to a variety of issues, such as interface and data interoperability problems arising from the high heterogeneity of interfaced resources, privacy and security concerns relating to data management, and the need for optimal resource scheduling and energy consumption to effectively orchestrate these applications. These issues represent only a fraction of the potential research areas where such problems may arise.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to collect contributions, including theoretical research and practical applications, focusing on IoT-based distributed applications that leverage the cloud–edge continuum. The focus is on the critical aspects of these technologies that still present challenges and the possible solutions that could be implemented to address them.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
