Self-* Capabilities of Cloud-Edge Nodes: A Research Review.

Most recent edge and fog computing architectures aim at pushing cloud-native traits at the edge of the network, reducing latency, power consumption, and network overhead, allowing operations to be performed close to data sources. To manage these architectures in an autonomous way, systems that materialize in specific computing nodes must deploy self-* capabilities minimizing human intervention across the continuum of computing equipment. Nowadays, a systematic classification of such capabilities is missing, as well as an analysis on how those can be implemented.

Cloud-Native Workload Orchestration at the Edge: A Deployment Review and Future Directions.

Cloud-native computing principles such as virtualization and orchestration are key to transferring to the promising paradigm of edge computing. Challenges of containerization, operative models and scarce availability of established tools make a thorough review indispensable. Therefore, the authors have described the practical methods and tools found in the literature as well as in current community-led development projects, and have thoroughly exposed the future directions of the field.

Effect of the early use of antivirals on the COVID-19 pandemic. A computational network modeling approach.

It seems that we are far from controlling COVID-19 pandemics, and, consequently, returning to a fully normal life. Until an effective vaccine is found, safety measures as the use of face masks, social distancing, washing hands regularly, etc., have to be taken.
