CfP: 9th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2025) http://icfec2025.ontariotechu.ca/, May 19th-22nd, 2025, Tromsø, Norway

###TOPICS OF INTEREST###
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 cover different parts of the cloud-edge compute continuum. This covers different computing models, including mist computing, edge computing, multi-access edge computing, fog computing, and mobile cloud computing.
Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Data centers and infrastructures along the compute continuum
* Mobility management along the compute continuum
* Federated learning and distributed machine learning in and for the compute continuum
* 5G/6G for the compute continuum
* Middleware and runtime systems for the compute continuum
* Programming models for the compute continuum
* Storage and data management platforms along the compute continuum
* Scheduling and resource management for the compute continuum
* Security, privacy, trust, and provenance issues for the compute continuum
* Distributed consensus and blockchains in the compute continuum
* Modeling and simulation for and in the compute continuum
* Performance monitoring and metering of infrastructures along the compute continuum
* (Big) Data processing in the compute continuum
* Energy-efficient computing in the compute continuum

###SUBMISSION###
We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue. Papers should follow the IEEE template for conference proceedings. Authors should submit papers, written in English, electronically in PDF format, and may not exceed 8 letter-size pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. Apart from full papers, authors may also submit poster papers, which may not exceed 2 pages in length.

All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on originality, technical strength, significance, presentation, and relevance to the conference by at least three reviewers. Papers may be submitted online at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfec2025.

Papers that are accepted for publication may be accepted as REGULAR papers (8 pages), SHORT papers (5 pages), or POSTER papers (2 pages), depending on the reviewers' recommendations. Accepted regular, short, and poster papers will be included in the conference proceedings that will be published through the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services.

Further submission information can be found at http://icfec2025.ontariotechu.ca/.
