-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] 5TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2021) Datum: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:23:53 -0500 Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG We sincerely apologize if you receive multiple copied of this CFP. ========================================================================= 5TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOG AND EDGE COMPUTING (ICFEC 2021) 10-13 May 2021, Melbourne, Australia In conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2021 URL: https://icfec2021.eeecs.qub.ac.uk ========================================================================= We are delighted to invite you for the 5th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Melbourne, Australia. The conference will be held as part of and in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2021, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM. INTRODUCTION Billions of devices and sensors ranging from user gadgets to more complex systems with sensing and actuating capabilities, such as power grids or vehicles, from the physical world are getting connected to the Internet. However, the need to operate the scale of heterogeneous devices and sensors while being performance-efficient in real-time is challenging. Typically, the data generated by the devices and sensors are transferred to and processed centrally by services hosted on geographically distant clouds. This is untenable given the communication latency incurred and the ingress bandwidth demand. A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology be closer to devices and sensors, such as home router, gateways or more substantial micro data centers. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as 'Fog/Edge computing'. 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 edge resources, 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 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 next-generation distributed systems that use the edge. 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 * Distributed and federated machine learning on Fog/Edge * Performance monitoring and metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures * Legal issues and business aspects of Fog/Edge computing * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in Fog/Edge computing * Modeling and simulation of Fog/Edge environments * Novel, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of Fog/Edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue.

The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modeling and context reasoning as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) IEEE First International Workshop on Deep Learning in Pervasive Computing (PerDL) https://sites.google.com/view/perdl2021/homepage The PerDL workshop aims to bring together practitioners and researchers working on pervasive computing and on deep learning, by soliciting contributions on the following topics: advances in pervasive and distributed deep learning techniques and algorithms; theories, models and novel algorithms for rendering deep learning suitable to pervasive and distributed computing; novel applications of deep learning techniques in the context of pervasive and distributed computing; technological innovations making possible the integration of deep learning and pervasive computing; fog and edge computing techniques for deep learning; research to make the computational complexity of deep learning methods suitable for distributed devices; studies to efficiently distribute and retrieve great amounts of data useful for deep learning algorithms; deep learning techniques to improve the performance of pervasive and parallel computations. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) The 5th International Workshop on Annotation of User Data for Ubiquitous Systems (ARDUOUS ) https://text2hbm.org/arduous/ Labelling user data is a central part of the design and evaluation of pervasive systems that aim to support the user through situation-aware reasoning. It is essential both in designing and training the system to recognise and reason about the situation, either through the definition of a suitable situation model in knowledge-driven applications, or through the preparation of training data for learning tasks in data-driven models. Hence, the quality of annotations can have a significant impact on the performance of the derived systems. Labelling is also vital for validating and quantifying the performance of applications. With pervasive systems relying increasingly on large datasets for designing and testing models of users' activities, the process of data labelling is becoming a major concern for the community. Even more, with the increase of pervasive applications relying on annotated data, it becomes important to develop standards and normalisation methodologies for transferability of annotated data across different applications. To address the problem, this year's workshop focuses on methods for standardisation and normalisation in annotation practices and possible roadmaps and good practices in addressing the associated challenges. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) The 5th Workshop on emotion awareness for pervasive computing - beyond traditional approaches (EmotionAware) https://www.comtec.eecs.uni-kassel.de/emotionaware/ An important goal of pervasive computing is to integrate computer devices into the users' everyday life seamlessly. This allows context-aware applications to gather information about the users to support them in their daily tasks. A newly attractive source of information for pervasive computing is provided by mobile devices, wearable devices, and pervasive sensors able to detect the emotional state of the users. In many real-world scenarios, it is essential to use wearable sensors, embedded in mobile devices such as smartphones and smartwatches, to measure the emotional state of the user. This would help to understand how emotions influence processes such as decision making and reasoning. We aim to have unique contributions addressing this challenge and to provide a discussion space to facilitate collaboration among researchers interested in emotion recognition for pervasive computing.

(Paper submission: November 9, 2020) The Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Smart & Green Edge Computing and Networking (SmartEdge 2021) http://www.people.vcu.edu/~tnadeem/SmartEdge21/index.html Recent studies show that the amount of data generated at the edge of the Internet will be vast, incredibly rich, extremely valuable, and becoming the key enabler for data-rich edge systems and applications. SmartEdge has taken a leading role in addressing data/systems/applications interests, challenges, and research problems of the edge. This year, SmartEdge's themes are: Intelligent Edge, and Green Edge. By integrating the advances in smart devices and edge systems with the advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), the future role of smart edge systems, networks, and applications is becoming limitless and it is expected to revolutionize the future of the world within the next few years. Green Edge is a recent emerging research field that focuses on architectures and algorithms to support energy-efficient edge operation, and distributed algorithms and optimizations that make the edge a major contributor to the overall energy efficiency of the entire IoT ecosystem. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) The Fifth Workshop on Security, Privacy and Trust in the Internet of Things (SPT-IoT) https://sites.google.com/view/spt-iot-2021 As the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) increases and more data are shared through the hyperconnected networks there are more concerns associated with the security of data. Furthermore, maintaining a balance between the availability of data and users' privacy, and ensuring trust are issues that require attention to encourage the adaptability of IoT applications. The SPT-IoT workshop is organized to encourage researchers and industry practitioners to come up with innovative ideas to focus on IoT security, privacy, and trust. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) Pervasive Context-Aware Smart Cities and Intelligent Transportation Systems (PerAwareCity) https://sites.google.com/view/perawarecity2021 This workshop will focus on bringing together researchers and practitioners working on systems and applications in the Smart City domain. The architectural, networking and decision making aspects will be investigated and discussed. Underlying structure of Smart City systems, including different possible architectural models such as peer-to-peer, location based, server oriented, and hybrid models will be studied. Almost all smart city related problems, which are important for societal welfare, and could potentially be solved using AI techniques, can be presented in this workshop by researchers from industry and academia. In general, we want to focus on solutions of the following questions: (a) How to design city-scale smart systems with autonomous coordination capabilities; (b) How to develop intelligent decision making abilities in emergency and safety-critical systems or during medium and large-scale disasters, and (c) How to handle real-time conditions innovate computing technology for diverse societal applications to improve the human experience.

A community of researchers and practitioners will also be created and nurtured via this workshop. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) Mobile and Pervasive Assistive Technologies (MPAT) https://ewserver.di.unimi.it/mpat/ The aim of MPAT workshop is to showcase recent advancements in mobile and pervasive assistive technologies, connecting researchers and practitioners working in the fields of accessibility and pervasive systems. This is motivated by the fact that mobile and pervasive devices are rapidly becoming platforms of choice to support the development of state-of-the-art assistive technologies to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. Pervasive sensors, actuators, and IoT installations are able to provide key information about the environment and those who traverse it, while mobile devices enable general-purpose computing on the move, cutting edge sensing, and persistent connectivity. They are also compact, widespread and socially acceptable, and therefore well suited to provide assistance everywhere and at all times. These qualities can be leveraged to achieve ubiquitous assistance for everyday activities such as mobility, information access, interaction with the environment, or with other people. (Paper submission: November 9, 2020) International Workshop on Mobile and Pervasive Internet of Things (PerIoT) https://periot.github.io/2021/ In recent years, the Internet has become increasingly pervasive allowing people to connect anytime and everywhere to achieve pervasiveness and mobility. The coupling among mobile technology, embedded objects, and a worldwide pervasive communication infrastructure constitutes the Mobile and Pervasive Internet-of-Things.

Topics include, but are not limited to: * algorithms and techniques for machine learning and AI at the edge * cellular infrastructure for edge computing * distributed ledger technology (DLT) & blockchain at the edge * edge computing as an enabler of 5G applications and services * edge computing infrastructure and edge-enabled applications * geo-distributed analytics and indexing on edge nodes * hardware architectures for edge computing and devices * IoT hubs * innovative applications at the edge * monitoring, management, and diagnosis in edge computing * networking, e.g., from clients to the edge, and from the edge to the cloud * programming models and toolkits * resource management and reliability for edge computing * security and privacy issues * vehicular, enterprise, and manufacturing systems The review process will be double-blind. Papers will be judged on novelty, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. A best paper award will be presented to one or more outstanding papers from the conference. We also welcome short Position Papers on any of the above topics, which will be judged separately from papers in the research track of the conference. By submitting a paper, you agree that at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it. Papers must be in PDF format and must be submitted here<http://acm-ieee-sec.org/2021/call%20for%20papers.php>. Do not email submissions. Two Deadlines and Reviewing Process with One-shot Revision SEC’21 offers authors the options of two deadlines and adds a one-shot revision process to enhance the timeliness and quality of the scientific results from the research community. Each paper will go through the same rigorous reviewing process as in previous SEC conferences. The review decisions will be one of the following: * Accept: Papers in this category will be accepted for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference, possibly after making minor changes with the oversight of a shepherd. * One-Shot-Revision: A limited number of papers will be invited to submit a revision; such papers will receive a specific set of action points and can be resubmitted for the next deadline. After the resubmission, reviewers will evaluate the paper based on whether the authors have properly addressed the previous reviews. Unlike in the shepherding process, the requested action points may include running additional experiments that obtain specific results. During this revision period, the paper is still considered under review to SEC and therefore cannot be submitted to other conferences unless the authors first withdraw it from consideration. The revised paper will then be re-e valuated, and either accepted or rejected. * Reject: Papers in this category are declined for inclusion in the conference. Rejected papers must wait for one year, from the date of original submission, to resubmit to SEC. A paper will be judged to be a resubmit (as opposed to a new submission) if the paper is from the same or similar authors, and a reviewer could write a substantially similar summary of the paper compared with the original submission. As a rule of thumb, if there is more than 40% overlap between the original submission and the new paper, it will be considered a resubmission. In case of any similarity between a current submission and a submission that has been previously rejected at SEC less than 11 months ago, please email a detailed list of differences and if possible a copy of a previous submission to the chairs. Important Dates Deadline 1 Abstract and title registration January 14, 2021 Paper submission January 21, 2021 Notification of acceptance April 2, 2021 Camera ready May 14, 2021 Deadline 2 Abstract and title registration June 17, 2021 Paper submission June 24, 2021 Notification of acceptance September 3, 2021 Camera ready October 15, 2021 Submission Instructions Submitted papers must be no longer than 12 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures and tables, but excluding references, and using 10-point type on 11-point (single-spaced) leading, two-column format, Times Roman or a similar font, within a text block 6.5" wide x 9" deep. IEEE Standard template for Latex and Word meet these specifications and can be found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Accepted papers will be allowed 2 additional pages in the proceedings. Papers not meeting these criteria will be rejected without review, and no deadline extensions will be granted for reformatting. Pages should be numbered, and figures and tables should be legible in black and white, without requiring magnification. Papers so short as to be considered "extended abstracts" will not receive full consideration. Reviewing will be double-blind. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions, and they should not identify themselves either explicitly or by implication; for example, cite prior work as though it belongs to a third party. Submissions violating the detailed formatting and anonymization rules will not be considered for review. If you are uncertain about how to anonymize your submission, please contact the program co-chairs well in advance of the submission deadline. Papers must be in PDF format and must be submitted via the Web submission form, which will be open in the weeks before the submission deadline. Position Papers The program committee is also soliciting industry and academic position papers that describe current advances and challenges in edge computing practice and academic research. Such papers should follow the above submission instructions, with the exception that they may be no longer than 6 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages. Furthermore, the title of the paper should include the words: "Position Paper: XXX", where XXX is the actual title of the paper. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
