We are delighted to invite you to the 8th IEEE International Conference on
Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Philadelphia, USA.



TOPICS OF INTEREST
The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering
both theory and practice over systems research and emerging
domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed
systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
* Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing
* Mobility management in fog/edge computing
* Federated learning and distributed machine learning in the fog and on the edge
* 5G and fog/edge computing
* Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures
* Programming models for fog/edge computing
* Storage and data management platforms for fog/edge computing
* Scheduling and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures
* Security, privacy, trust, and provenance issues in fog/edge computing
* Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog
* Modeling and simulation of fog/edge environments
* Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures
* (Big) Data processing in the fog and at the edge
* Energy-efficient fog/edge computing

SUBMISSION
We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published
elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue. Papers should
follow the IEEE template for conference proceedings. Authors should
submit papers, written in English, electronically in PDF format, and
may not exceed 8 letter-size pages in length, including all figures,
tables, and references. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on
originality, technical strength, significance, presentation, and
relevance to the conference by at least three reviewers. Papers may be
submitted online at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfec2024

Papers that are accepted for publication may be accepted as REGULAR
papers (8 pages) or SHORT papers (5 pages), depending on the
reviewer's recommendations. Accepted papers will be included in the
conference proceedings that will be published through the IEEE
Computer Society Conference Publishing Services.
