-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), Deadline: April 6, 2018 Datum: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 03:05:47 +0200 Von: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Mayutan A. <mayutan.arumaithurai(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [apologies if you receive multiple copies of this] CfP: ACM MobiSys Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018) https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/ Keynote by Dr. Dirk Kutscher (Huawei CTO): https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/workshops/edgesys18/keynote.html Given the growing demand for real-time gathering and processing of vast amount of data from data-intensive services such as autonomous driving and augmented reality (AR), we are witnessing a visible trend to push computing and data analytics closer to the edge of networks for benefits in low latency, reliability, throughput, security and privacy. Supported by lightweight virtualization technologies such as Docker Containers and Unikernels, the edge computing paradigm aims to offer efficient access to various geographically distributed computing resources. The active research work on mobile data and computation offloading (e.g., Cloudlet, Tasklet, ThinkAir, and MAUI) also support this vision. In addition, as data analytics and machine learning are increasingly offered as a service, the next phase of evolution is to extend the offerings beyond basic algorithms and push the analytics closer to the edge where the data from users and devices is first captured. In this regard, edge computing has the potential to enable a new class of real-time data analytics platforms and services. We expect such edge-driven data analytics will emerge and reshape the existing cloud-based data processing pipelines. The knowledge from this new edge pipeline can further power future cyber-physical and network services, such as cognitive assistance and proactive accident prevention for autonomous driving. The 1st International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys 2018), in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2018, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys '18 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis. The topics include but are not limited to the following: - System Architecture for Edge Computing - Communication and Computation Abstractions - Distributed Machine Learning for Edge Analytics and Services - Edge-driven Data Analytics - Novel System and Networking Design for Data-intensive Services - Edge Security and Privacy - Lightweight Virtualization for Edge Computing - Distributed Consensus Algorithms and Ledger Technologies - Infrastructure and Toolkit for Edge Computing and Analytics - System Performance and Measurement - Edge Networking and Communications - Edge-enabled IoT Services and Application Taxonomy - (Autonomous) Management for Edge Systems - Security and Trust Management Workshop and TPC Chairs: Aaron Yi Ding (TU Munich, Germany) Richard Mortier (University of Cambridge, UK) Steering Committee: Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge, UK) Henning Schulzrinne (Columbia University, USA) Steve Uhlig (Queen Mary University of London, UK) Peter Pietzuch (Imperial College London, UK) Dieter Kranzlmüller (University of Munich & LRZ, Germany) Dirk Kutscher (Huawei, Germany) Technical Program Committee: Ardalan Amiri Sani (UC Irvine, USA) Aruna Balasubramanian (Stony Brook University, USA) Christian Becker (University of Mannheim, Germany) Yang Chen (Fudan University, China) Paul Francis (Max Planck Institute, Germany) Hamed Haddadi (Imperial College London, UK) Tim Harris (UK) Wenjun Hu (Yale University, USA) Pan Hui (UH/HKUST, Finland & Hong Kong) Marijn Janssen (TU Delft, Netherlands) Fahim Kawsar (Nokia Bell Labs, UK) Ilias Leontiadis (Telefónica, Spain) Shen Li (IBM Research, USA) Yong Li (Tsinghua University, China) Dongtao Liu (Google, USA) Jörg Ott (TU Munich, Germany) Oriana Riva (Microsoft Research, USA) Stefan Schmid (University of Vienna, Austria) Malte Schwarzkopf (MIT, USA) Sasu Tarkoma (University of Helsinki, Finland) Carmela Troncoso (EPFL, Switzerland) Liang Wang (University of Cambridge, UK) Klaus Wehrle (RWTH Aachen, Germany) Chenren Xu (Peking University, China) Tianyin Xu (Facebook, USA) Ennan Zhai (Yale University, USA) Publicity Chairs: Lei Jiao (University of Oregon, USA) Mayutan Arumaithurai (University of Göttingen, Germany) Web Chair Vittorio Cozzolino (TU Munich, Germany) Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues.
