[DMANET] [Deadline Extended] Special Issue on Federated, Distributed/Embedded Learning, and Learning at-the-Edge for Pervasive Systems

Apologies for cross-posting

Journal: Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing
Submission link: https://www.editorialmanager.com/pmc/default.aspx

* Schedule:
-----------
- Submission deadline (EXTENDED): July 01, 2022
- First review round completed: September, 15 2022

* Call for Papers
------------------
The explosion of data volumes generated at the edge of the internet by an
increasing number of devices combined with the growing attention and
sensitivity to privacy preservation of such data, is moving the whole AI
process from remote cloud facilities towards the edge of the network, i.e.,
data owners/holders are more and more unwilling to share their raw data
freely to build AI applications and services. However, the data and
computational landscape at the edge is so much different from the one in
the cloud, that it has stimulated the development of new learning
frameworks designed to cope with the several connected challenges at the
edge. This is the case for Federated Learning, to mention one, that is a
distributed learning framework specifically designed for being robust to
context where devices holding some local data collaborate to train a
globally shared AI model. The challenges to be addressed in learning at the
edge are many since the learning algorithm has to consider several aspects
like local data heterogeneity, device heterogeneity, technological
shortcomings like intermittent connectivity, devices with limited
computational resources, to mention a few.

Developing intelligent distributed and pervasive systems over federated
datasets overcoming the limitations imposed by the edge scenario faces new
exciting challenges in the design of new AI algorithms, federated and
distributed optimization methods, privacy and security mechanisms, and
system implementation. This special issue serves as a forum for researchers
and practitioners to present their latest research findings and engineering
experiences in the theoretical foundations, empirical studies, and novel
applications of federated learning, distributed and embedded learning for
next-generation pervasive systems. We welcome contributions proposing
advancements in theory, algorithms, systems, and applications of federated
learning, embedded learning in pervasive systems for various AI tasks to
establish the latest efforts of the research in this area.

* Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
----------------------------------------------------
- Federated/Distributed Machine Learning Algorithms for
Embedded/Mobile/Edge Systems
- Supervised/Semi-supervised/Unsupervised Federated/Distributed Learning
- Optimization Algorithms in Federated/Distributed Learning
- Incentive Mechanisms for Federated Learning
- Fairness in Federated Learning
- Communication-Efficient Distributed/Decentralised Machine Learning
- Efficient Privacy-Preserving & Secure Machine Learning
- Personalized Federated/Distributed Machine Learning
- Online/Continual Learning in Pervasive Systems
- Compression of machine learning models for real-time inference on
Embedded/Mobile/Edge Systems
- Efficient on-device learning

- Applications of Federated/Distributed/Embedded Learning for:
- Activity recognition
- Anomaly detection
- Urban computing
- Healthcare
- Industry 4.0
- COVID-19
- Smart Cities
- Smart Agriculture
- Audio and Video signals processing
- Emotion recognition
- Environmental applications
- Resilient Communication in Contested Environments

[DMANET] Ph.D. position available in Algorithms and Complexity at University of Sheffield, UK

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield invites
applications for a Ph.D. position in areas broadly construed as theoretical
computer science with a focus on distributed network algorithms. The Ph.D.
student will be working in the research group of Dr. Sagnik Mukhopadhyay (
https://sagnikm.github.io/) within the Algorithm research group.

The University of Sheffield is a top 100 university with 99 percent of our
research rated in the highest two categories in the REF 2021, meaning it is
classed as world-leading or internationally excellent. We are rated 8th
nationally for the quality of our research environment, showing that the
Department of Computer Science is a vibrant and progressive place to
undertake research. The Algorithm research group is a rapidly expanding
group with a clear focus on engaging in topical research and cutting-edge
solutions. We aim to develop a fun and collaborative environment in the
group while maintaining our research excellence.

Known as the UK's greenest city, Sheffield is a beautiful and welcoming
city where nature and culture intertwine. The historic Peak District
National Park is only 20 mins away and there are enough activities in the
city throughout the year to keep one entertained and help one maintain a
proper work-life balance. Being centrally located in the country, it is
well connected to the other research hubs in the country, which can be
useful in collaborative research.

This studentship will cover tuition fees at the UK rate and provide a
tax-free stipend at the standard UK rate (currently £15,609 for 2021/22),
for three and a half years. International students are eligible to apply,
however, will have to pay the difference between the UK and Overseas
tuition fee. Generous travel money is included.

More information on the intended research area and how to apply is
available at
