CALL FOR PAPERS

Cognitive Cloud Continuum Ecosystems: Theory and Practice

Honolulu, Hawaii, January 3-6, 2024

HICSS57 Minitrack

https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-57/software-technology/


Cognitive Cloud is an enhanced Cloud-Fog-Edge system that is capable of 
sensing its environment, learning from it, and opportunistically and 
dynamically adapting its computational loads to the user intents. Here, 
the core enabling technologies, for management of resources, services 
and data are AI/ML techniques, which infuse the cognitive aspects into 
the continuum.

This minitrack intends to solicit papers that discuss the theoretical 
and practical aspects of Cognitive Cloud Ecosystems from a system 
perspective. Topics of interest include:

* Architectures for the Cognitive Cloud for systems that are user-aware, 
self-aware and (semi-)autonomous; address the need for real-time capable 
solutions; and solve performance challenges, such as data streaming and 
filtering near/at the edge, overcoming latency and network constraints

* Service mesh networking that controls service-to-service communication 
across cognitive cloud ecosystem

* Orchestration of (sub)systems in the Cognitive Cloud, possibly 
subdivided into orchestration of resources, services, and data 
(including zero-touch approaches)

* Use of distributed AI across the Cognitive Cloud to make it intelligent

* Interconnection of Cognitive Clouds with Data Spaces

* Security, privacy and trust (likely, by design) in a multi-tenet 
de-centralized systems, possibly with no single point of governance

* Interoperability across the Cognitive Cloud Ecosystems to cope with 
the increased complexity of vast numbers of heterogeneous devices, while 
supporting demands for data sharing combined with the demand for 
protection of privacy

* Role of intelligent devices, drawing from applicable results in 
micro/nano/bio technologies, including resource-aware hardware/software 
concepts, low power processor platforms integrating computing, 
networking, storage and acceleration elements, new communication schemes 
and topologies that range from the cloud continuum towards mesh, and 
securing computing and communication at device level with constrained 
resources

* Tactile/contextual Internet of Things based on human-centric 
sensing/actuating, augmented/virtual reality and new service 
capabilities such as integration with parallel and opportunistic 
computing capabilities, neuromorphic and contextual computing.

* Energy aware systems from the perspective of systems integration for 
efficient deployment of services and use of resources in the Cognitive Cloud

* Strategies for the deployment of hyper-distributed applications in the 
Cognitive Cloud from services description to dynamic reorganization of 
the deployment

* Extreme data processing applications and Frugal AI in the cognitive cloud

* Applications of Cognitive Cloud including implementation of 
ecosystems, pilots, lessons learned, barriers, etc.
