Currently, the execution of machine learning algorithms is typically batch, offline and centralized. Managing networks and their services requires running massively distributed, real-time data. In several situations, the real-time validity of the generated data is limited, demanding the reduction of latency in communication and processing. Furthermore, data transmission in a distributed e…
An intelligent transportation system integrates information, communication, and computing to solve common problems in the traditional transportation system, such as traffic jams, accidents, and road capacity. Thus, an efficient solution for this system should be able to consider data from sensors, information about traffic as well as information from the internet and social networks. Urba…
Over the years, governments and car manufacturers launched initiatives to improve road traffic efficiency, safety, and people mobility. They have been working in various aspects of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs), which aims to improve decision-making, availability of information and communication technologies in order to provide applications and services to boost the transporta…

Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC) is a promising paradigm that provides cloud computing services closer to vehicular users. A VEC scenario has two main processes, namely Vehicular Cloud (VC) Formation and Task Scheduling. The first process concerns the grouping and management of computational resources present in vehicles and communication infrastructures (such as 5G Base Stations). The seco…
Disruptive applications for mobile devices that can be enhanced by edge computing facilities are emerging, such as the Internet of Things, Immersive Media, and Connected and Autonomous Vehicles. In this context, Edge Computing is an architecture expected to meet mobility requirements imposed these applications. Edge Computing aims to introduce computing capabilities in the path between th…
Vehicular ad hoc Network (VANETs) have turned into an important research field in recent years. Research on VANETs aims to improve the traffic efficiency, road safety, and driver comfort. Several applications emerge to meet customer demands such as cooperative traffic information management and parking guidance.
