-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley Press) - "Resource Management of IoT Edge devices: Challenges, Techniques, and Solutions" Datum: Thu, 21 Nov 2019 12:09:51 +0000 Von: Anish Jindal <anish.jindal(a)THAPAR.EDU> Antwort an: Anish Jindal <anish.jindal(a)THAPAR.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG [*************** Apologies if you received multiple copies of the mail *******************] *Special Issue on * Resource Management of IoT Edge devices: Challenges, Techniques, and Solutions *Software: Practice and Experience (Wiley Press) * *Call for Papers * With the growth of Internet of things (IoT) paradigm, there has been a tremendous makeshift in how the distributed devices work to achieve a common goal. However, it remains essential that all these devices work in a coherent manner to perform a collective action. This makes the task of resource provisioning extremely important in such a paradigm. The end-user level in IoT mostly comprise of the low computation and communication powered devices. An improper utilization of the available resources in such a scenario burdens the complete system and degrades the quality of service. In such a scenario, the use of cloud computing techniques can help to manage the resources effectively. More so, with the emergence of relatively newer cloud-based technologies such as edge and fog computing, resource management in the IoT has become far more effective. These technologies bring the computation and communication capabilities closer to the IoT devices where some of the services can be offloaded to the edge devices. These devices are called IoT edge devices and they provide a unique opportunity to tackle some of the existing and pertinent issues for resource management in IoT paradigms; yet at the same time, they face their own set of challenges. However, the use of IoT edge devices in a traditional IoT paradigm results in better utilization of the available resources as well as improving the overall quality of service. Keeping this in mind, this special issue will address the resource management in IoT edge devices with the focus on various challenges faced, and potential techniques and solutions to address such challenges by leveraging IoT edge devices. The researchers, both at the academic and industrial level, working on resource management in IoT edge devices can share their latest results to create wider awareness about their schemes. The topics of interest include (but not necessarily limited to): - Resource provisioning using IoT edge devices - Improving quality of service using IoT edge devices - Novel architectures for integrating IoT models with edge devices - Use of advanced learning methods such as artificial intelligence and deep learning for resource management in IoT edge devices - Exploiting edge devices for computation offloading in IoT paradigms - Analysis of overheads and requirements for using IoT edge devices - Security and resilience issues in IoT edge devices *Important Dates * *Submission Due:* December 15, 2019 *Notification Due:* March 15, 2020 *Revision Due: *April 30, 2020 *Notification of Final acceptance: *May 30, 2020 *Final paper due:* June 30, 2020 *Special Issue Paper Submission * We seek submission of papers that present new, original and innovative ideas for the "first" time in SPE.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Gesendet: 20. November 2019 17:45:45 MEZ An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: 4TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2020) =============================================================== 4TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2020) 11-14 May, 2020, Melbourne, Australia In conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2020 URL: http://dream-lab.cds.iisc.ac.in/icfec2020/ ================================================================ We are delighted to invite you to Melbourne, Australia for the 4th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing. The Conference will be held as part of and in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid, 2020, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM. INTRODUCTION The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is incorporating “things” from the physical world into the Internet environment to enhance the monitoring and intelligent control of physical, digital and social systems. Such things include smart infrastructures like power grids with sensing and actuation capabilities, mobile platforms like smart phones and vehicles, and consumer electronics and appliances such as refrigerators and healthcare devices. In conventional cloud-centric IoT applications, the observational streams from these things at the edge of the network are extracted, accumulated and processed centrally at public/private clouds, and the responses are communicated back to the things, leading to significant latency and bandwidth costs. To meet the ever-increasing demand for computing resources from distributed applications in the wide area network, academics and industry experts are advocating the use of micro data centers to supplement large cloud data centers. These micro data centers, also called fog resources, are located at the edge of the network, closer to a user in the spatial and/or network topology than cloud data centers. Further, edge devices such as smart phones and gateways themselves have non-trivial compute capacity and are even closer to the user. As a result, it is possible to utilize both the edge and fog resources to off-load computation that would traditionally have been carried out on the cloud. The "Fog/Edge computing paradigm" is expected to improve the agility of service deployments, make use of opportunistic and cheap computing, and leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. Numerous challenges arise when using fog and edge computing infrastructure, which requires the re-examination of operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. Extensions to current programming and storage models are required and new abstractions that will allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from massively distributed and data-driven systems need to be developed. Addressing security, privacy and trust of the edge and fog resources is of paramount importance while managing the resources and context for mobile, transient and hardware constrained resources. Lastly, emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and machine/deep learning need to be supported over such platforms. CALL FOR PAPERS The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over system software and domain-specific applications related to Edge, Fog and Cloud computing. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Data centers and infrastructures for 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 for Fog/Edge infrastructures * Performance monitoring and metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures * Legal issues in Fog/Edge computing * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in Fog/Edge computing * Modelling and simulation of Fog/Edge environments * Novel, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of Fog/Edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ICFEC will have two rounds of submissions, Early and Regular.

Submissions that violate the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review. Further instructions on the expected format for submissions will be communicated later. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through *double-blind* reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Papers that do not conform to our double-blind submission policies will be rejected without review. ArXiv draft submissions are allowed and reviewers will be encouraged not to actively search papers for deanonymization purposes. To be published in the IEEE SECON 2020 conference proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate. The paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference, unless the TPC co-chairs grant permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance. The designated presenter should be qualified to both present the paper and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. Only IEEE Xplore®-compliant papers received by the camera-ready deadline can appear in the proceedings. For authors with multiple accepted papers, one full registration is valid for up to 3 papers. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE SECON 2020 conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore® as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. The organizers of IEEE SECON 2020 as well as our attendees expect accepted papers to be presented at the conference. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore®) if the paper is not presented at the conference. **IMPORTANT DATES** Abstract Registration: January 7th, 2020 Paper Submission: January 12th, 2020 (firm) Acceptance Notification: March 9th, 2020 Paper Final Version Due: March 23rd, 2020 Conference: June 22nd to 25th, 2020 **LOCATION** IEEE SECON 2020 will take place at the Teatro Sociale in Como, Italy.

Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Specialized networked systems, made of intelligent devices (such as robots and UAVs), may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and to respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. Also, they might be able to integrate within existing and upcoming mobile infrastructures (e.g. the 5G), by enabling the sensing operations on complex and dynamic scenarios, and to process the data on the edge or to offload them toward existing cloud services. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, ground and aerial robotic systems are in need of new networking techniques as well as of novel cloud/edge architectures for data gathering and processing that might unlock the potentials of such systems. To this purpose, WiSARN aims at bringing together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of sensor robotic and aerial networks. IEEE WiSARN 2020 will serve as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in the area of the workshops topic. Moreover, it will provide its participants with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges of UAV/Robot networking as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to their architecture, protocol, algorithm, and application design. ---------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS ---------------------------------------------------------- Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in design, implementation and evaluation of wireless sensor, robot and UAV networks.
