ICFC 2019 Call for Papers
Fog computing is the extension of cloud computing into its edge and the
physical world to meet the data volume and decision velocity
requirements in many emerging applications, such as augmented and
virtual realities (AR/VR), cyber-physical systems (CPS), intelligent and
autonomous systems, and mission-critical systems. The boundary between
powerful centralized cloud and massively distributed, Internet connected
sensors, actuators, and “things” is blurred in this new computing
paradigm.
The 2019 IEEE International Conference on Fog Computing (ICFC 2019),
colocated with the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering
(IC2E), brings together researchers and practitioners across academia,
industry, and governments to exchange visions, technical challenges, and
research outcomes in a single forum. ICFC takes a broad view of Fog
Computing, including computation, connectivity, mobility, sensing and
actuation, theories, and systems. Topics of interest include but are not
limited to:
- System architecture for fog computing
- Coordination between cloud, fog, and sensing/actuation endpoints
- Connectivity, storage, and computation in the edge
- Data processing and management for fog computing
- Efficient and embedded AI in the fog
- System and network manageability
- Middleware and coordination platforms
- Power, energy, and resource management
- Device and hardware support for fog computing
- Programming models, abstractions, and software engineering for fog
computing
- Security, privacy, and ethics issues related to fog computing
- Theoretical foundations and formal methods for fog computing
systems
- Applications and experiences
Important Dates
- Submission registration and abstract: Nov 1st, 2018
- Full paper submission: Nov. 8th, 2018
- Acceptance notification: Jan. 20th, 2019
- Camera ready: March 30th, 2019
Submission instructions
- Research papers that advance the state of the art of fog
computing. Research papers are limited to 10 pages.
- Position papers that articulate the vision, opportunity and
challenges of fog computing. We are particularly interested in novel
applications and open problems where system design points are
different from the typical cloud computing and IoT paradigms.
Position papers are limited to 6 pages.
- Up to 2 extra pages are permitted at a cost
Review process and publication
- Submitted papers must be PDF files in IEEE two column format.
Please use the template available from the conference website to
prepare your paper. All accepted papers will be published by the
IEEE and included in IEEEXplore.
