SEC' 2026 (ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing) is a CCF C conference held in Santa Clara, California, USA on 2026-10-13. The paper submission deadline is 2026-04-24. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-07-29.
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.
