CALL FOR PAPERS

SIMULATION MODELLING PRACTICE AND THEORY SPECIAL ISSUE ON
"Modeling and Simulation of Fog Computing"

all-for-papers/modeling-and-simulation-of-fog-computing

THEME:
---------
Cloud computing provides a large number of resources and services to users.
However, time-critical applications have to cope with the problem of
latency. Fog Computing complements and extends cloud computing to its edge.
It addresses the issue of latency by placing micro data centers closer to
the end users and thus closer to where the data are generated.

The Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles and smart cities are areas
strongly related to - and in many aspects dependent on - Fog Computing,
entailing many challenges, such as security, reliability and energy
efficiency. Consequently, appropriate systems and innovative algorithms are
required in order to effectively leverage the full potential of Fog
Computing.

The scope of this Special Issue is to present state-of-the-art research
covering a variety of concepts in Fog Computing, particularly focused on
modelling, simulation and performance evaluation of such platforms.

Papers for the Special Issue must provide a substantial novel contribution,
and authors must carefully situate their work with regard to the relevant
scientific literature. They must clearly address research issues of Fog
Computing and show the role of modelling and simulation in this research
area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Real-time fog computing applications
Performance evaluation and modelling of fog computing systems
Dew computing applications
Internet of Things applications
Cloud and fog computing collaboration
Security and privacy in fog computing
Data storage and processing in fog computing
Micro data center management for fog computing
Big data analytics in fog computing
Resource management and orchestration in fog computing
Energy efficiency of fog computing infrastructure
