In recent years, we have seen the emergence of new compute-intensive and delay-critical mobile applications, such as virtual/augmented reality, online gaming, ultra-high-definition video streaming and autonomous driving. Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has become a key technology in 5G networks to shift computational tasks from resource-limited mobile devices to nearby servers placed at the edge of the network.

This issue brings to you our interview with Dr. Ervin Sejdić, an Associate Professor at the Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, where he directs a research laboratory focused on engineering developments in medicine. His research has focused on creating computational biomarkers indicative of age- and disease-related changes in functional outcomes such as swallowing, gait, and handwriting.
