The nature of edge computing in consumer devices is evolving due to the Internet of Things (IoT) development. End nodes must be able to

implement a growing number of functionalities, including multisensory data processing and analysis, sophisticated system control schemes, and,

ultimately, artificial intelligence. These new capabilities will make the development of wearable and implantable biomedical devices, autonomous

insect-sized drones, autonomous smart environmental sensing, safety-critical real-time applications, AR-VR modeling, Metaverse, and other fields

possible. Smart edge computing for consumer electronics is a significant technological convergence that has the potential to change how

commonplace devices are made completely. The transformational potential of edge computing in improving the usability, effectiveness, and

usefulness of consumer devices is examined in this special issue. Edge computing lowers latency, enhances privacy, and conserves bandwidth by

enabling devices to make real-time decisions, provide personalized services, and function independently. It does this by utilizing computational power

and localized data processing. This special issue aims to provide important insights, encourage innovation, and catalyze advancements in the rapidly

evolving intersection of edge computing and consumer technology by thoroughly examining edge computing architectures, algorithms, applications,

and deployment strategies tailored to consumer electronics.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

For this special issue, we are looking for original research and review articles on IoT smart edge-computing architectures, systems, and related

hardware-software design methodologies, and the topics covered include but are not limited to:

•

Architectures for consumer devices’ energy-efficient and robust

edge processing

•

Digital twin for edge-based consumer devices

•

Edge-based computing for intelligent devices with ML and DL

models

•

Heterogeneous consumer devices set up-on-chip with smart

edge processing

•

Low battery power and hybrid channel modeling for smart

devices with edge computing

•

Meta heuristic models smart devices with edge computing

•

Metaverse in consumer devices for smart edge computing

•

Multi-sensor connectivity and functionality for consumer devices

with wedge computing

•

New system design methods and technologies for smart edge

processing

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine (CEM

) publishes peer-reviewed articles that present emerging trends, key insights, tutorials, practical

experiences, design, and industry-related research & developments of mainstream consumer electronic products, technologies, and related fields of

interest to the membership of the IEEE Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc) and broad engineering audience. CEM aims to educate and entertain on

general topics related to consumer technologies and electronic products. Submissions must follow IEEE CEM Template available in IEEE Template

Selector

, or the LaTeX template is also available on Overleaf

, and should consist of the followings: (i) A manuscript of minimum 6-page length

(overlength page charges are listed below): A PDF of the complete manuscript layout with figures, tables placed within the text, and (ii) Source files:

Text should be provided separately from photos and graphics and may be in LaTeX or Word format. High-resolution original photos and graphics (300

dpi) are required for the final submission. Images embedded in Word or Excel documents are not suitable; however, figures and graphics may be

provided in a PowerPoint slide deck, with one figure/graphic per slide. The authors must own the copyright on any images, photographs or graphics or

have obtained explicit permission for use of all such material when a third party owns the copyright. Alternatively, copyleft images and materials may

be used once the relevant license terms are complied with, including citations to the original source/author. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to

demonstrate such compliance and document the corresponding license agreements (a URL is sufficient) in notes accompanying the submitted

article. The authors should include a PDF file with a suggested layout of the article. Figure captions must be provided and ideally figures/graphics

should be cited in the text of the article. An IEEE copyright form will be required.

The manuscripts must be submitted online to the

'Special Issue on Intelligent Edge Computing for Consumer Electronic Devices'

track using the IEEE

CEM’s IEEE Author Portal

. The IEEE Author Portal will automate the generation of a single submission document if the authors have the correct files

prepared in advance.

OVERLENGTH PAGE CHARGES

Articles exceeding 6 pages during author proof will be charged at US$ 250 per page for extra pages beyond first allowed 6 pages.
