Call for Papers
-----------------
The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over systems research and emerging domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing
• Mobility management in fog/edge computing
• Federated learning and distributed machine learning in the fog and on the edge
• 5G and fog/edge computing
• Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures
• Programming models for fog/edge computing
• Storage and data management platforms for fog/edge computing
• Scheduling and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures
• Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in fog/edge computing
• Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog
• Modelling and simulation of fog/edge environments
• Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures
• (Big) Data processing in the fog and at the edge
• Energy-efficient fog/edge computing
