Edge Computing: Vision and Challenges

Weisong Shi, Jie Cao, Quan Zhang et al. · 9 Jun 2016

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) and the success of rich cloud services have pushed the horizon of a new computing paradigm, edge computing, which calls for processing the data at the edge of the network. Edge computing has the potential to address the concerns of response time requirement, battery life constraint, bandwidth cost…

Internet of Things for Smart Cities

Andréa Zanella, Nicola Bui, Angelo Castellani et al. · 1 Feb 2014

The Internet of Things (IoT) shall be able to incorporate transparently and seamlessly a large number of different and heterogeneous end systems, while providing open access to selected subsets of data for the development of a plethora of digital services. Building a general architecture for the IoT is hence a very complex task, mainly because…

A Survey on Internet of Things: Architecture, Enabling Technologies, Security and Privacy, and Applications

Jie Lin, Wei Yu, Nan Zhang et al. · 16 Mar 2017

Fog/edge computing has been proposed to be integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) to enable computing services devices deployed at network edge, aiming to improve the user's experience and resilience of the services in case of failures. With the advantage of distributed architecture and close to end-users, fog/edge computing can provide faster response and greater…

Mobile Edge Computing: A Survey

Nasir Abbas, Yan Zhang, Amir Taherkordi et al. · 8 Sep 2017

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is an emergent architecture where cloud computing services are extended to the edge of networks leveraging mobile base stations. As a promising edge technology, it can be applied to mobile, wireless, and wireline scenarios, using software and hardware platforms, located at the network edge in the vicinity of end-users. MEC provides…

Fog and IoT: An Overview of Research Opportunities

Mung Chiang, Tao Zhang · 23 Jun 2016

Fog is an emergent architecture for computing, storage, control, and networking that distributes these services closer to end users along the cloud-to-things continuum. It covers both mobile and wireline scenarios, traverses across hardware and software, resides on network edge but also over access networks and among end users, and includes both data plane and control…

IEEE Internet of Things Journal template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Internet of Things Journal format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Internet of Things Journal template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does IEEE Internet of Things Journal use?
IEEE Internet of Things Journal uses Numbered (IEEE) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," IEEE Internet of Things Journal, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Internet of Things Journal?
No. DocuGuru generates the IEEEtran LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Internet of Things Journal document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the IEEE Internet of Things Journal template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Internet of Things Journal format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes IEEE Internet of Things Journal?
IEEE Internet of Things Journal is a engineering and computer science journal published by IEEE. DocuGuru's IEEE Internet of Things Journal template matches IEEE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Internet of Things Journal PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Internet of Things Journal template (the IEEEtran class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the IEEE Internet of Things Journal template cost?
You can start writing in the IEEE Internet of Things Journal template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready IEEE Internet of Things Journal PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
