5^th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing 2021

10-13 May 2021 in Melbourne, Australia

Scope & Topics

5^th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing 2021 A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology be closer to devices and sensors, such as home router, gateways or more substantial micro data centres. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as 'Fog/Edge computing'.

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

Topics of Interest :

• Data centers and infrastructures for 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 for Fog/Edge infrastructures
• Distributed and federated machine learning on Fog/Edge
• Performance monitoring and metering of Fog/Edge infrastructures
• Legal issues and business aspects of Fog/Edge computing
• Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in Fog/Edge computing
• Modelling and simulation of Fog/Edge environments
• Novel, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of Fog/Edge computing

Paper Submission

We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue. The manuscripts should be structured as technical papers, written in English. Authors should submit papers electronically in PDF format and may not exceed 8 letter-size pages in length, including all figures, tables and references. Papers should follow the IEEE format template for conference proceedings available here. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines or received after the due date may not be reviewed. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference attendees. Papers may be submitted using the Easychair portal Here
