With the rapid advancements in machine learning, cloud computing, edge computing, and terminal devices, cloud-edge-end (CEE) collaboration has become a significant research frontier in the field of information technology. The resource discrepancies in computation, storage, and network bandwidth between the cloud, edge, and terminal layers have made efficient resource scheduling and optimization a core challenge in practical applications. Specifically, the ability to achieve seamless resource coordination and joint optimization across these layers in dynamic environments, while addressing challenges such as real-time requirements, bandwidth constraints, latency, and data security, has become a key research issue.

This special issue aims to explore innovative solutions for efficient resource scheduling and joint optimization in cloud, edge, and terminal environments. We invite contributions that investigate resource coordination, computational and network optimization, distributed system designs, data security, and practical applications in the context of cloud-edge-end systems.

The goal of this special issue is to gather experts, scholars, and industry professionals from academia, industry, and government to discuss new technologies, methodologies, and applications related to resource coordination and joint optimization in cloud-edge-end systems. Specifically, the objectives are as follows:

- Energy consumption modeling, evaluation, and calculation in cloud-edge-end systems
