Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-empowered communication is beingconsidered as an enabling technology for sixth generation (6G) wirelessnetworks. The key idea of RIS-assisted communication is to enhance thecapacity, coverage, energy efficiency, physical layer security, and many otheraspects of modern wireless networks. At the same time, mobile edge computing(MEC) has already shown its huge potential by extending the computation,communication, and caching capabilities of a standalone cloud server to thenetwork edge. In this article, we first provide an overview of how MEC and RIScan benefit each other. We envision that the integration of MEC and RIS willbring an unprecedented transformation to the future evolution of wirelessnetworks. We provide a system-level perspective on the MEC-aided RIS (andRIS-assisted MEC) that will evolve wireless network towards 6G. We also outlinesome of the fundamental challenges that pertain to the implementation ofMEC-aided RIS (and RIS-assisted MEC) networks. Finally, the key research trendsin the RIS-assisted MEC are discussed.
