Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks (IECCO)

Call for Papers

Scope and topics:

 
The Workshop on "Integrating Edge Computing, Caching, and Offloading in Next Generation Networks" provides a forum for discussions of the up-to-date developments in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in next generation networks, and brings together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The workshop invites submissions of the unpublished works on the following topics (but not limited to):
 
  • Trends and challenges of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading
  • Low-latency offload infrastructure
  • Micro data cells/centers for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading
  • Cloudlets for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading networks
  • Supporting real-time multimedia services over edge computing, caching, and offloading networks
  • Software-defined networking, caching, and edge computing
  • Architectures and protocols for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading
  • Designs and optimizations for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading
  • Information-centric networks
  • Content-centric networks
  • Cache-enabled networks
  • Computation offloading in networks
  • Networks for cloud computing
  • Networks for edge/fog computing
  • Integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading in 5G cellular networks
  • Energy efficient hardware, software, networks and services
  • QoS provisioning and resource management in integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading
  • Modeling and performance evaluation of integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading
  • Performance/complexity/cost tradeoff
  • Pricing and billing for integrating edge computing, caching, and offloading
