First International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing
(ICFEC 2017)
May 14-17, 2017
Madrid,Spain

Call for papers:

To satisfy the ever increasing demand for Cloud Computing resources, academics and industry experts are now advocating for going from large-centralized Cloud Computing infrastructures to smaller ones, massively distributed at the edge of the network. Referred to as “fog/edge computing”, this paradigm is expected to improve the agility of cloud service deployments in addition to bringing computing resources closer to end-users.
Co-located with the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid) in Madrid, Spain on May 14th 2017, the first International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing will be a forum gathering a large community around all the challenges related to this new generation of Utility Computing. On the one hand, the development of Fog and Edge clouds includes dedicated facilities, operating system, network and middleware techniques to build and operate a set of small and geographically distant data centers that host virtualized computing resources. On the other hand, the use of Fog and Edge clouds requires to extend current programming models and propose new abstractions that will allow developers to design new applications that take benefit from such massively distributed systems.

The conference seeks to attract theoretical and technical contributions to any of the aforementioned challenges, from the management software stack to domain-specific applications.

Topics of interest:

• Data centers and infrastructures for Fog/Edge Computing
  
• Middleware for Fog/Edge infrastructures
  
• Programming models and runtime systems for Fog/Edge Computing
  
• Scheduling for Fog/Edge infrastructures
  
• Fog/Edge storage
  
• Monitoring/metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures
  
• Fog/Edge Computing applications
  
• Latency/locality-critical applications
  
• Legal issues in Fog/Edge clouds
