SECIoT 2018 - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Sustainable Edge Computing for IoT systems (SECIoT 2018)

The 1st International Workshop on Sustainable Edge Computing for IoT systems (SECIoT 2018) will be held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2018), in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. All papers presented in SECIoT 2018will be published in the workshop proceedings. Outstanding papers will be invited to extend to full version for a SCI(E)-indexed journal, which is currently under contact.
Scope and Topics
In the era of Internet of Things (IoTs), a huge amount of raw data will be generated from IoT devices, such as low-level sensors, RFID tags, etc. Given the valuable insights contained in the data, analyzing them farly exceeds the capability of low-end IoT devices themselves. Therefore, it is desirable to enhance the IoT devices with more resourceful computing devices in the proximity of IoT devices, which leads to the flourish of edge computing paradigm. However, the densely deployed edge servers consume considerable amount of energy and lead to a surge of carbon footprints. To address this issue, it is highly desirable to incorporate the energy harvesting (EH) capability into edge servers, which enables them to scavenge energy from the ambient energy sources, e.g., solar and wind.
This workshop provides a forum for researchers to explore promising new approaches to integrate energy harvesting technology in edge computing paradigm to achieve its sustainability. Emphasis will be focused on both the practical design of sustainable edge systems and schedule algorithms for performance improvement, which enable the system to adapt to the ever-changing energy supply and computation load. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
Data-driven algorithm design in sustainable edge computing systems;
Architecture design of sustainable edge computing systems;
Code and computing offloading in sustainable edge computing systems;
Energy consumption-aware edge server placement;
Implementation and testbed design of sustainable edge computing system;
Performance evaluation and measurement in sustainable edge computing systems;
Security, trust, and privacy issues in sustainable edge computing and IoT systems;
Resource-efficient data analysis and mining in IoT applications;
This topic, i.e., sustainable edge computing for IoT systems, is highly related to the topics of interests of workshops of ICCCN 2018, especially the edge computing and IoTs. The focus of this workshop can be deemed as a branch of the scope of the main conference.
