## Call for papers

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.
