Cloud and Edge Computing

Abstract
Cloud and edge computing are currently undergoing a substantive transformation on several fronts, from applications to hardware, and from architectures to devices. This issue of the Cloud and Edge Computing Series solicited articles in the area of cloud and edge computing to address the main issues concerned with evolving processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in cloud computing, networking, and storages technologies. There have been advances on both the cloud and edge computing fronts that have affected this line of technology. Paradigms such as computing in virtualization-based architectures, issues on geographical constraints for deploying clouds, and the use of SDN/NFV in clouds, for example, were of special interest for this issue of the Series. Nevertheless, our attention was also focused on data center network (DCN) architectures, security, load balancing, and application data streaming supported by evidence from simulations, analysis, or experiments. The last but not least important factor we expected
