[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.] Please find below a call for papers for ICFEC’2017 ** Submission deadline: January 13th, 2017 ** http://fec-conf.gforge.inria.fr/ ** Colocated with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2017 ** May 14th 2017 − Madrid, Spain ------------------------ The 1st International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC'2017) Madrid, May 14th 2017 http://fec-conf.gforge.inria.fr/ CALL FOR PAPERS ===================================================================== The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to Madrid for the 1st International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing. The Conference will be held as part of/in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). 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. The Fog and Edge Computing paradigms are 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 to 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 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * 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 IMPORTANT DATES * Technical papers submission deadline: January 13th, 2016 * Authors notifications: Feb. 15th, 2017 * Camera-ready paper: Feb. 28th, 2017 PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in PDF format.
