Call for Papers

Recent breakthroughs in Generative AI have sparked a new era of innovation. Generative AI models such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are capable of creating high-quality content in diverse modalities including text, images, videos, and many more, and handle complex tasks with human-level performance that were previously out of reach. Such capabilities bring enormous opportunities to a wide range of areas including edge computing.  

IEEE Internet Computing magazine invites researchers and industry experts to contribute to our forthcoming special issue on Generative AI for Edge Computing. The objective of this special issue is to enable researchers and practitioners to share novel and high-quality contributions related to all aspects of generative AI for edge computing. The special issue welcomes contributions from systems, AI, and network research, as well as benchmarks, development tools, and deployment of generative AI to applications where edge computing plays a critical role. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

• Efficiency enhancement of Generative AI models for edge devices such as model compression, small language models, efficient inferences and training.
• Generative AI for sensing
• Generative AI for 5G/6G such as physical layer and network protocol design, and integrated communications and sensing.   
• Human-computer interaction that uses generative AI at the edge.
• Infrastructure support for generative AI at the edge.
• Privacy and security of generative AI at the edge such as federated learning and trusted execution environment.
• Benchmarks and development tools for generative AI at the edge.
• Applications and case studies such as autonomous driving, augmented reality, healthcare, and agriculture.
