KuVS-Fachgespräch Fog Computing
26-27 March 2020, Essen
https://sites.google.com/view/fachgespraechfog/


The "Fachgespräch" workshop series of the Communication and
Distributed Systems (KuVS) special interest group of the German
Society for Computer Science (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Informatik,
GI) and the Information Technology Society of VDE
(Informationstechnische Gesellschaft, ITG) offers scientists the
possibility to exchange ideas in focus research areas, and to
strengthen cooperation in these areas.

The KuVS-Fachgespräch Fog Computing offers a platform to present
fundamental as well as application-oriented research results in the
field. Fog Computing is nowadays widely accepted as a useful
alternative to local solutions and (Cloud-based) centralized
approaches to data processing. While Fog Computing provides a wide
range of possible application areas, many important fundamental
research questions have not been covered in depth yet. Therefore, it
is the goal of the KuVS-Fachgespräch Fog Computing to identify
research issues arising by the volatility of IoT-based smart systems,
and the potentially very quickly changing system landscapes, and to
identify how concrete research contributions in the field of Fog
Computing can help to overcome these issues.

To achieve this, researchers from different subfields of computer
science and related areas are invited to present their thoughts and
ideas in the field of Fog Computing, including, but not limited to
research in the fields of:
* Networking aspects to enable Fog Computing
* Protocols and algorithms for distributed Fog Computing systems
* Cloud Computing
* Internet of Things
* Software engineering methodologies for Fog Computing systems
* Cyber-Physical Systems and embedded systems in Fog Computing
* Blockchains and the Fog
* Service models and service management for the Fog
* Reliability and performance engineering for the Fog
* Privacy and security considerations in Fog Computing
* User interaction and usability in Fog Computing
* Optimization problems and optimization algorithms in Fog Computing
* Other related computing paradigms like edge computing, dew
computing, and mist computing

###Submissions###
Contributions should be submitted as Extended Abstracts. Submissions
should be two to four pages long and be written in 10pt font on A4
paper using the double-column IEEE-Format. Papers can be written in
English or German. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Each
accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors at the
Fachgespräch. Presentations can be done in English or German.

###Proceedings###
The proceedings will be published as a Technical Report in TU Wien's
reposiTUm. Therefore, the workshop is open for contributions that have
been published at other peer-reviewed events, as long as there are no
infringements of copyrights.
