ICFC 2019 - IEEE International Conference on Fog Computing (ICFC 2019)

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

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.
