Guest Editorial: Serverless Mobile Computing: From Theory to Practice

Networking technology is slowly but steadily adopting two key principles from cloud computing, namely, softwarization and modularization. This has resulted in the success of technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), which are being adopted by mobile networking as well. In the meantime, cloud computing has been revolutionized by serverless computing, with the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) paradigm enabling extreme scalability in a convenient manner.
