Motivation and context. ‌ The rapid growing number of mobile devices, e.g., mobile phones, tablets and wearable devices, becomes a big challenge for the next generation cellular network due to the scarce spectrum [58]. However, the classic cloud computing is difficult to meet such a large number of demands, and it is more prone to high network latency since end users are far from the cloud servers. To release pressure of backhaul networks and improve end users’ quality-of-experience (QoE), mobile edge computing (MEC) and edge caching have been proposed as key technologies which move services from the cloud to the network edges [36]. MEC is widely agreed to be a key technology for realizing various visions for the next generation Internet, such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) [3], device-to-device (D2D) communications [4, 52], and Tactile Internet [40]. However, several critical challenges must be addressed before embracing these technologies’ full potential. To this end, we highlight three key challenges that are arguably expected to be at the epicenter of emerging edge network research fields. Environment dynamics. In MEC systems, the dynamic variables, e.g., the time-varying channel quality, task arrival rate at end devices and renewable energy generation, may not be available when making decisions. Even if environment

Motivation and context. Here we propose the establishment of a Laboratoire International Associé between UMR EDB in France (Toulouse) and Instituto Humboldt in Colombia (Bogotá). The central aim of this joint venture is to develop and apply transformative approaches for the exploration and the monitoring of biodiversity in the Neotropics, where biodiversity is high and prior base knowledge is limited (and often insufficient). EDB and IAvH have been collaborating for some time now. Two of the staff scientists at the Program Ciencias de la Biodiversidad, Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, were trained at EDB (PhD defended in 2009 and 2007, respectively). A number of publications have been jointly published at this time, and several visits between EDB and IAvH have been conducted (to Colombia: Xxxxxx Xxxxx in 2014, Xxxxx Xxxxxx in 2017, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx in 2016-2017; to France Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx in 2015 and 2018). 5 Xxxxxxxx, X. Et al. 2017. Greening peace in Colombia, Nature Ecology Evolution, 1, 102. Also, EDB has been heavily involved in research on Neotropical biodiversity, notably since 2011 through the laboratory of excellence CEBA (Centre of the study of Biodiversity in Amazonia), which operates in French Guiana, but seeks to reach out to other Neotropical countries. Supported by XXXX, two of the staff scientists at Xxxxxxxx attended CEBA thematic schools in 2013 and 2016 (“Advanced methods on Neotropical biogeography” and “Functional ecology of tropical forest in the context of climate change”). Labex CEBA is being considered for a prolongation for the period 2020-2024 (5 years), and the XXX XXXXXXX would then xxxxxx collaboration between CNRS and Instituto Xxxxxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxx, enabled by the funding of Labex CEBA. In the request for prolongation of Labex CEBA, this XXX proposal has been explicitly cited as an opportunity of expansion. Conversely, the present LIA proposal has been designed to be compliant with the science program of the second phase of Labex CEBA. Science-wise, three areas of research motivate the present proposal. • The first motivation for the present request is that both units have engaged in innovative research on environmental genomics, and especially metabarcoding, in French Guiana (EDB) and Colombia (IAvH), and that we hope to gain knowledge and share expertise by reinforcing our collaboration through the CEBACOL project. Xx Xxxxxxxx has initiated a research program on metabarcoding in natural gradients of Colombia, including in a famo...
