Introduction

Network technologies are making rapid progress to support new types of communications, such as URLLC (Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communication), mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication) and eMBB (enhanced Mobile BroadBand), as observed in the recent development of 5G mobile communication and IoT trends. Emerging applications such as autonomous/cooperative driving, drone surveillance, remote sensing and data analytic are causing the conventional cloud computing model to evolve towards edge computing to utilize these advanced communications. In the light of this observation, we think it even more important now to invest our efforts on investigating into the interaction between “cloud" computing and advanced “net"working. CloudNet 2018 will serve a role of getting together world's most distinguished researchers in this field to discuss the research topic in Tokyo, where a variety of applications using cloud and advanced networking are being developed for 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games held in this very city.
