TOPICS OF INTEREST

We solicit research papers (up to 6p) and technical industry reports (typically 3-6p) on the following topics:


* IoT-fog-cloud pipelines, architectures and continuums in various domains, from industrial deployments to smart cities

* System and hardware architectures for resource-constrained edge and IoT devices, including near-data processing and non-volatile memory (NVM)

* Smartness, adaptivity, fluidity and dynamicity for processing sensed data across distributed systems

* Computing paradigms: multi-cloud, fog, serverless, osmotic, continuum computing

* Applied cloud technology for IoT/Cyber-Physical systems, AI/ML domains, e-Health, smart cities, and digital twins
* Applications in digitalised health care, ecology, agriculture, urban planning and other fields
* Principles and foundations of utility computing, federated cloud, and ultrascale scheduling
* Artificial Intelligence in the Cloud-Edge Continuum: Edge intelligence, large language models (LLMs), cognitive computing, and distributed deep learning
* Middleware, tools, and services across the stack (XaaS), including delivery networks and mobile edge computing
* Privacy, scalability and economics considerations as well as trade-offs
* Security in fog/edge computing, IoT, Cyber-Physical systems, and cloud continuum
