About the Journal

Aims and Scope. Journal of Edge and Fog Computing Systems provides a focused venue for research on edge orchestration, computation offloading, edge AI, resource-constrained edge services, cloud-edge coordination. The journal prioritizes technically substantive, internationally relevant work in which the principal novelty lies inside the stated computing scope rather than only in the application domain.

Core topics in scope include:

• edge orchestration
• computation offloading
• edge AI
• resource-constrained edge services
• cloud-edge coordination
• edge computing
• fog computing
• distributed intelligence
• low-latency systems

Evidence and methodological expectations. Networking and distributed-systems studies should specify topology, workload, traffic or failure assumptions, compare protocols or systems under controlled conditions, and evaluate scalability, latency, throughput, reliability, consistency, or resource use as appropriate. Traces, configurations, or testbed details should be reproducible.

Normally outside scope. Basic network configuration reports, simulations with undocumented parameters, protocol use without novelty, and small local deployments with no generalizable network or distributed-systems contribution are normally outside scope.

Research integrity and reproducibility. Authors should disclose datasets, software, model or system configurations, experimental protocols, statistical procedures, ethical approvals where applicable, competing interests, funding, and any material use of generative AI. Data and code should be shared when legally and ethically possible, or the restriction must be explained.
