We propose integrating the edge-computing paradigm into the multi-robot collaborative scheduling to maximize resource utilization for complex collaborative tasks, which many robots must perform together. Examples include collaborative…
Space weather observations and modeling at Mars have begun but they must be significantly increased to support the future of Human Exploration on the Red Planet. A comprehensive space weather understanding of a planet without a global…
After the advent of the Internet of Things and 5G networks, edge computing became the center of attraction. The tasks demanding high computation are generally offloaded to the cloud since the edge is resource-limited. The Edge Cloud is a…
Thanks to the latest advances in containerization, the serverless edge computing model is becoming close to reality. Serverless at the edge is expected to enable low latency applications with fast autoscaling mechanisms, all running on…
Edge computing is an emerging paradigm to enable low-latency applications, like mobile augmented reality, because it takes the computation on processing devices that are closer to the users. On the other hand, the need for highly scalable…
Performing orbital insertion around Mars using aerocapture instead of a propulsive orbit insertion manoeuvre allows to save resources and/or increase the payload mass fraction. Aerocapture has never been employed to date because of the high…
The Mobile Network Operator (MNO) must select how to delegate Mobile Device (MD) queries to its Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) server in order to maximize the overall benefit of admitted requests with varying latency needs. Unmanned Aerial…
Mobile edge computing (MEC) pushes computing resources to the edge of the network and distributes them at the edge of the mobile network. Offloading computing tasks to the edge instead of the cloud can reduce computing latency and backhaul…

The Metaverse has emerged as the next generation of the Internet. It aims to provide an immersive, persistent virtual space where people can live, learn, work and interact with each other. However, the existing technology is inadequate to…
As billions of devices get connected to the Internet, it will not be sustainable to use the cloud as a centralised server. The way forward is to decentralise computations away from the cloud towards the edge of the network closer to the…
The Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) system located close to the client allows mobile smart devices to offload their computations onto edge servers, enabling them to benefit from low-latency computing services. Both cloud service providers and…
Space information networks (SIN) are facing an ever-increasing thirst for high-speed and high-capacity seamless data transmission due to the integration of ground, air, and space communications. However, this imposes a new paradigm on the…
In recent years, the fast development of mobile communications and cloud systems has substantially promoted edge computing. By pushing server resources to the edge, mobile service providers can deliver their content and services with…
An increasing amount of data is being injected into the network from IoT (Internet of Things) applications. Many of these applications, developed to improve society's quality of life, are latency-critical and inject large amounts of data…
