AFEC 2022

The 3rd International Workshop on Advances in Fog/Edge Computing (AFEC 2022)


In conjunction with the 31th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2022)

July 25 - 28, 2022, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA





THE WORKSHOP SCOPE

Recent rapid advances in Mobile Cellular Networks, Cloud Computing, and Big Data have introduced Fog/Edge Computing as an interesting topic to the research community, one that has received much attention from practitioners, scholars, and the general public. The Fog Computing, also known as Edge Computing, can be described as an extension of the Cloud Computing to the edge of an enterprise's network in order to cope with the tremendous data volumes for having a low-latency or even real-time service. Considering that we are in the era of big data, many applications, such as Internet of Things, Mobile Social Networks, and Smart City, keep generating data and interacting with the remote data centers all the time, which creates unique requirements and new challenges on the computation, storage, and communication. Thanks to idea of the Fog/Edge Computing, certain tasks can be mitigated from the heavy-weighted data center to local devices, which not only reduces the workload of the data center but also accelerates the average serving speed. Many new techniques have been developed and are adopted in the Fog/Edge Computing. Due to the benefits of using Fog/Edge Computing, many emergent applications are now available for individuals, business enterprises, and governments.

REVIEW AND PUBLICATION OF MANUSCRIPTS

Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the ICCCN 2022 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author.





AFEC 2022 PAPER SUBMISSION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  • Authors declare that the submission is original and has not been submitted to other venue or under consideration by other venues.
  • Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed and/or added to the papers once papers are submitted to AFEC 2022 for review and in the final camera-ready manuscript.
  • If the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register at full rate and present it in person at the conference. Accepted and paid paper(s) but not presented onsite by the registered author(s) (for any reason, including visa issues, travel problems, etc.) will be published in the conference proceedings only. We strongly encourage that all authors of accepted papers apply for an entry visa to Hawaii in case one author cannot get the entry visa.




REGISTRATION

Please note that at least one author of each accepted paper needs to register and present the paper at the workshop.

Please refer to the main conference ICCCN 2022 for registration information.





CONFERENCE VENUE

Please refer to the main conference ICCCN 2022 for hotel and local information.
