With the emerging of thriving range of new and diverse services, such as mobile multimedia, internet of things (IoT), and virtual reality (VR), the expectations towards service-tailored Quality of Experience (QoE) are also increasing, which poses new challenges on the service providers as well as on network operators. Edge-cloud computing networking (ECCN), which brings forward the technical benefits of cloud computing and edge computing with networking, will pave the way for enhanced QoE. It aims to utilize resource-rich cloud centers to offer high-computational capacity with moderate response time, exploit resources of edge of networks to offer intermediate computation and storage, reducing latency for users and bandwidth demands, and adopt advanced networking technologies, especially, network virtualization, to enable efficient network operations and service provisioning. Since both edge and cloud use networking, computing, and storage resources, and share many of the same mechanisms and attributes, the design and implementation of edge-cloud networks is non-trivial. There need to be appropriate coordination and tradeoff between edge and cloud computing. A smart approach of edge-cloud coordination can exploit the advantages of both edge and cloud computing. However, the edge-cloud coordination faces problems such as specification of control plane, resource allocation, traffic load balancing, orchestration of computing functions, smart edge sensing and processing, etc. This workshop aims to bring together researchers in the field of edge-cloud computing networking to exchange ideas and advance the research frontier.
Submission Guidelines
Submitted papers should be written in the English language, with a maximum page limit of 6 printed pages, including all the figures, references and appendices, and not published or under review elsewhere. Papers longer than 6 pages will not be reviewed. Use the standard IEEE Conference templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Regardless of the source of your paper formatting, you must submit your paper in the Adobe PDF format. The paper must print clearly and legibly, including all the figures, on standard black-and-white printers. Reviewers are not required to read your paper in color.
If the paper is typeset in LaTeX:
- Please use an unmodified version of the LaTeX template IEEEtran.cls version 1.8, and use the preamble: \documentclass[10pt, conference, letterpaper]{IEEEtran}.
- Do not use additional LaTeX commands or packages to override and change the default typesetting choices in the template, including line spacing, font sizes, margins, space between the columns, and font types. This implies that the manuscript must use 10-point Times font, two-column formatting, as well as all default margins and line spacing requirements as dictated by the original version of IEEEtran.cls version 1.8.
If you are using Microsoft Word to format your paper:
- You should use an unmodified version of the Microsoft Word IEEE Transactions template (US letter size).
More information and template downloads can be found at the IEEE MASS main page.
