Theory and Practice for Integrated Cloud, Fog and Edge Computing Paradigms
- TOPIC 2018
https://synnetsys.github.io/topic2018/
In conjunction with the 37th ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed
Computing (PODC 2018)
Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, UK
27 July 2018
Call for Papers:
Proliferated adoption of IoT has given rise to the fog and edge computing
paradigms. As opposed to cloud computing, both fog and edge computing allow
computation on data taking place closer to end users, thus improving data
privacy and application performance. Nevertheless, the cloud will always
exist to provide the last resort for computationally heavy tasks. The aim
of this workshop is to capture and present research from a wide range of
emerging topics related to modelling, designing and analysing of integrated
cloud, fog, and edge computing paradigms. These have different ownership
and operating objectives, preventing delivery of seamless network services
across network/operator boundaries that is needed to support efficient
pervasive and ubiquitous computing. For instance, it is difficult, if not
impossible, to run operator A's content caching, data analytics and/or
packet inspection services in operator B's cloud/fog/edge networks.
Conventional techniques for cloud do not work well in such an emerging
integrated environments since they make assumptions about unified networks
and systems with highly reliable and low latency connectivity.
This workshop aims to bring together practitioners and theoreticians
characterise such cloud, fog, and edge integrated systems, and to explore
theoretical underpinning necessary for modelling, designing, analysing and
optimising of networks and systems that have heterogeneous connectivity
(e.g., intermittent and highly reliable), owned by different owners and
operators, for supporting pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Since there
is no single organisation can control all of the devices across all
networks, we anticipate that there will be strong need for addressing the
gap on policy enforcement, billing and access to data, etc. Security and
privacy issues will also need tackling due to the need for business secrecy.
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
- Underpinning theory for integrated cloud, fog and edge
- Distributed algorithms
- SDN and NFV for cloud, fog and edge
- Distributed and decentralised system configuration and management
- Cross layer design and optimisation
- Systems and networks co-design
- Experience on integrated cloud, fog and edge deployment
- Big data analytics for IoT
- Simulation and performance evaluation
- Cross cloud, fog, and edge network policy management
- Cross cloud, fog, and edge security and privacy
- Compact routing
We invite academic and industrial practitioners to submit papers for this
workshop. Potential authors can contact the workshop organisers with a
draft abstract if they would like to confirm it is within scope and
relevance to this workshop.
We invite regular papers written in English that have not been published or
submitted for publication elsewhere. We also invite short research
statements that outline new emerging ideas for fostering discussion and
collaboration in the workshop. Submitted manuscripts should be structured
as technical papers and may not exceed 6 pages for regular papers and 3
pages for short research statements including figures, tables and
references using the templates available athttps://www.acm.org/
