PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November, 17th 2024

=========================================================================== Cloud2Things 2025 - The 5th Workshop From Cloud to Things: harnessing pervasive data in the Computing Continuum March 17-21, 2025, Washington DC, USA - https://cloud2things.netsons.org

in conjunction with the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2025)

===========================================================================

MISSION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Computing Continuum concept refers to the opportunity of taking advantage of a broad computing context that mixes Cloud, Edge and IoT resources, thus providing a "continuum" of computing services that applications will be able to access in a transparent and uniform fashion. This workshop encourages submissions that address opportunities and issues of the computing continuum landscape, and proposes experimental solutions, case studies, deployed systems and best practices in this specific research context. The workshop is an opportunity for researchers to gather and discuss the advantages of integrating multiple computing infrastructure layers into a unified and pervasive computing context capable of offering customers a one-shop virtual place where services can be tailored and offered in a transparent and uniform way.

TOPICS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service design and Management

Service provisioning and monitoring in the computing continuum Resource elasticity in pervasive contexts Computation offload to Edge/IoT device Cross-context and cross-domain service migration Interoperability issues in the computing continuum Orchestration of (micro)services in pervasive environments Blockchain-based and ML-based resource orchestration Smart solutions and strategies for the management of pervasive systems Open-source frameworks and middlewares in the computing continuum

Data management and analytics

Scalable storage architectures in pervasive contexts; Data migration issues in pervasive computing systems Implementation of data pipes along the Things-to-Cloud path Data governance in the computing continuum Distributed Analytics in the computing continuum Orchestration of Complex Mixed Data-parallel Dataflow Workloads in the computing continuum

Network and communication management

Software-defined communication support in the continuum End-to-end provisioning of network services in the continuum QoS and SLA across heterogeneous networks

Digital Twins

Frameworks for Distributed Digital Twins (DDTs) in pervasive contexts Design methodologies for DDTs DDT-based applications and solutions in pervasive contexts Resilient, scalable and secure DDTs

Non-functional features

Quality of Service and SLA of pervasive systems Service continuity Autonomic pervasive systems Scalability and fault management in pervasive systems Disaster recovery via pervasive solutions and systems (e.g. mesh networks, UAV etc.) Security and trust management in pervasive environments

Vertical domains

Smart City Smart Industry Smart Grid Smart Agriculture Smart Health

The use of Soft Computing/Computational Intelligence methods in facing problems in the above topics is highly welcome, although not compulsory.

PAPER SUBMISSION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit their papers written in English in IEEE double-column format (IEEE standard conference templates). The paper length may not exceed six (6) printed pages, which will have to include figures, tables & references. Submissions must contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed for scientific quality by the Technical Program Committee.

All papers should be submitted via Easychair using the link https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=percom2025 and selecting the "Cloud2Things Track" on the second page

Paper submission implies the willingness of at least one author to register, at the regular rate (non-student), and present the paper. All accepted papers will be published as part of the Percom satellite events proceedings. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE and available online through IEEE Digital Library (EI indexing).

BEST PAPER AWARD: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A "Best Paper Award" certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a paper presented at the workshop, selected by the Chairs based on scientific significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of the paper, as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee.

SPECIAL ISSUES: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Highly top rated papers from the workshop will be invited for submission of extended version for publication in one of the following special issue: "Middleware for the Computing Continuum 2024", MDPI Computers

IMPORTANT DATES: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission deadline: November 17th, 2024 Notification of paper acceptance: January 8th, 2025 Submission of camera-ready papers: February 2nd, 2025

VENUE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud2things will be held in Washington DC, USA, during March 17-21, 2025, as a physical event
