Scope and Topics:

**********************

Intel4EC 2026 workshop aims to attract the Cloud, Fog, Edge, AI/ML/LLM, Big Data and distributed computing

community for novel research contributions to intelligent, adaptive, manageable and observable Edge-Cloud

systems that include topics of interest, but are not limited to:

  *   Performance instrumentation, monitoring and observability

  *   Causal attribution and root-cause analysis

  *   Performance diagnosis and prognosis

  *   Failure prediction and fault localisation

  *   Anomaly detection and prediction

  *   Chaos engineering and analytics

  *   Capacity planning, scalability and workload management

  *   Edge-Cloud sprawl management and multi-tenancy issues

  *   AI/ML techniques for cost and energy-efficient operations

  *   Adaptive resource provisioning, scheduling and run-time optimisation

  *   Trust, security and privacy-preserving AI/ML

  *   SLA breach, violation and vulnerability detection

  *   Service discovery and microservice composition

  *   Intelligent programming models

  *   Distributed data (e.g. logs, traces) integration, management and analysis

  *   Self-adaptive and self-healing systems

  *   Experiment reproducibility, benchmarks, and application case-studies

******************************

Submission Guidelines:

******************************

The Intel4EC 2026 workshop invites original research papers, as well as architectural vision papers and experience reports that have not been previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere.  Following paper categories are welcome:

  *   Regular Full Papers: Full research papers should describe the original work and be no longer than 8 single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style)  including figures, tables, and references.

  *   Short Papers: Short research papers up to 4 single-spaced double-column pages in length using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style) including figures, tables, and references, should contain enough information for the program committee to understand the scope of the contribution and evaluate the novelty of the problem or approach.

All manuscripts should adhere to page limits and be submitted in PDF. Each paper submitted to the workshop will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of three technical program committee members and will be evaluated on the basis of scientific significance, originality, technical quality, correctness, presentation, and relevance to the workshop attendees.


The accepted papers will be included in the IPDPS 2026 Workshop proceedings. Proceedings of the IPDPS workshops will be distributed at the conference and submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference. Presentation of an accepted paper at the conference is a mandatory requirement for publication. Any accepted paper that is not presented at the conference will not be included in IEEE Xplore.
