This book provides a broad understanding of the fundamental tools and methods from information theory and mathematical programming, as well as specific applications in 6G and beyond system designs. The contents focus on not only both theories but also their intersection in 6G. Motivations are from the multitude of new developments which will arise once 6G systems integrate new communication networks with AIoT (Artificial Intelligence plus Internet of Things). Design issues such as the intermittent connectivity, low latency, federated learning, IoT security, etc., are covered. This monograph provides a thorough picture of new results from information and optimization theories, as well as how their dialogues work to solve aforementioned 6G design issues.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Edge Computing, EDGE 2020, held virtually as part of SCF 2020, in Honolulu, HI, USA, in September 2020. The 7 full and 2 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions.The conference proceeding EDGE 2020 presents the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of edge computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of edge computing.
