We are delighted to invite you to the 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Taormina (Messina), Italy.


CALL FOR PAPERS
The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over systems research and emerging domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing
* Mobility management in fog/edge computing
* Distributed and federated machine learning in the fog and on the edge
* 5G and 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 and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures
* Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in fog/edge computing
* Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog
* Modelling and simulation of fog/edge environments
* Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures
* Innovative, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of fog/edge computing
