Our survey paper has been published by Elsevier
I am pleased to announce that our survey paper, "Air computing: A survey on a new generation computation paradigm ", co-authored with Prof. Atay Ozgovde, and Prof. Cem Ersoy, has been published by Elsevier Computer Networks. In this survey, we put forward a novel, next-generation paradigm called Air Computing that presents a dynamic, responsive, and high-resolution computation environment for all spectrum of applications.
In the literature, the organization and orchestration of the 3D networking structure through different air layers is called under various names such as aerial communication, Space–Air–Ground Integrated Network (SAGIN), airborne networks, and aerial computing. Especially, the aerial term is widely used to point to the utilization of air components in 3D networking. Since air layers and the corresponding air components would be an essential part of the next-generation networking systems rather than an auxiliary, we call this next-generation computation paradigm as Air Computing.
We foresee that Air Computing will be the next generation computation paradigm as a result of the evolution of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC). Since the computation paradigm in MEC is typically restricted with the 2D terrestrial networks in which the resources allocated for the application tasks in either an edge server or cloud server, system bottlenecks can limit meeting the diverse requirements of heterogeneous applications.
