SEC takes a broad view of edge computing and solicits contributions from many fields of systems practice that embrace any aspect of edge computing. 

Topics include, but are not limited to:

    Decentralized communication infrastructure (e.g., cellular, satellite, LoRa) for edge computing
    Distributed ledger technology (DLT) & blockchain at the edge
    Socio-economic aspects of edge computing
    Smart edge computing as an enabler of 6G and B5G applications and services
    Edge computing infrastructure (e.g., IoT hubs) and its sustainability
    Emerging applications at the edge, such as the automotive, smart energy, manufacturing, and smart health
    The role of edge computing in sustainable computing
    Interfaces between edge, cloud, and HPC systems
    Geo-distributed analytics and indexing on edge nodes
    Hardware architectures for edge computing and devices
    Monitoring, measurements, management, and diagnosis in edge computing
    Edge/cloud collaborations and networking
    AI-driven self-evolving software at the edge
    Resource management, scalability, and reliability for edge computing
    Security and privacy issues
    Explainable and trustworthy AI at the edge
    Storage and data management technologies for edge computing
    Techniques and algorithms for machine learning, federated learning, and AI at the edge
    Edge AI technologies (e.g., copilots, language models, and foundation models) in developing, optimizing, and generalizing edge systems and their configurations
    Agentic AI orchestration at the edge

Submissions that include systems implementation and their performance evaluation are particularly encouraged. 

The review process will be double-blind. Papers will be judged on novelty, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. A best paper award will be presented to one or more outstanding papers from the conference. We also welcome short Position Papers on any of the above topics, which will be judged separately from papers in the research track of the conference. By submitting a paper, you agree that at least one of the authors will attend the conference to present it. Papers must be in PDF format and must be submitted through the conference webpage. No email submissions will be accepted.
