The latest issue of the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies explores innovations for energy efficiency as computing shifts to the network edge, with artificial intelligence (AI) going into action closer to mobile and Internet of Things devices.
The new issue looks at diverse approaches to energy efficiency, spanning hardware-software co-design, energy-aware decision-making, and sustainable AI applications and benchmarking methodologies.
It explores such approaches across four key themes:
- Architectural innovations for energy-efficient edge computing
- Energy-aware decision and scheduling for edge robotics and distributed AI
- Benchmarking and edge-cloud optimization for sustainability
- Edge AI for intelligent and secure autonomous vehicle systems
The online ITU Journal – free of charge to both readers and contributors – offers comprehensive coverage of communications and networking.
It welcomes research submissions all year long, on all topics relevant to the work of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Published in open access format since 2020, the ITU Journal is indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.
Coming up
Upcoming issues of the ITU Journal are set to address:
- Privacy and security challenges of generative AI
- AI and machine learning solutions for 5G and future networks
Along with research articles, the journal includes recorded webinar discussions with researchers and industry leaders. Catch up on talks in 2025 and stay tuned for the next series starting in September.
Join the ITU community
Engaging in ITU’s work as ITU Academia members helps researchers to bring their innovations to market.
Academia members collaborate with companies and governments in ITU expert groups responsible for radiocommunication, standardization, and development.
This strengthens the impact of research, with ITU’s international standards frequently integrating solutions developed by academics or through academia-industry collaboration.
In another linkage between research and standards, emerging tech research trends are in focus at ITU Kaleidoscope academic conferences.
