CALL FOR PAPERS

Mark your calendars for Eclipse SAAM on Cloud 2022 on October 25. The conference will bring together industry experts and researchers working on innovative software and systems solutions for the next generation of edge-cloud computing continuum, specifically  focusing on Security and privacy, Artificial Intelligence, Architecture, Modelling and related challenges. This year, the event is co-located with EclipseCon 2022. This will be a great opportunity to meet our dynamic open source community.

BACKGROUND

The rapid growth of global data volume creates an increasing demand for autonomous, intelligent, secure, sustainable, energy-efficient and interoperable cloud infrastructures and services for new businesses. These businesses require drastic innovations that cross several research and innovation domains. Current scenarios are characterized by efficient development of edge/cloud applications and services through autonomous, AI-based management and control of the underlying infrastructure. This is done to tackle the constantly increasing demand for the optimization of runtime resources in the edge-to-cloud continuum against critical runtime objectives, such as performance, throughput, security, and energy, while preserving the scalability of existing IoT-edge applications and services, as well as security and reliability of data and software. 

A multitude of novel technologies – such as edge computing, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and security, privacy, and trust schemes – are being investigated in order to be adopted in the current ecosystem-wide arrangements, standards, and tool chains. Anyone working in these research areas is invited to present their work to the community – industry, standardisation and open-source bodies – on October 25th at the Eclipse SAAM on Cloud conference.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

You are invited to submit papers for presentation to participants from the research community, industry and standardization bodies and to exchange ideas for future joint research activities. We welcome all submissions and do not require projects to be associated with the Eclipse Foundation or its projects. Final date for submissions is September 5, 2022. The papers will be peer reviewed. Selected papers will be published under the Creative Commons License 4.0 on ceur-ws.org.

We encourage submissions of two types of papers: short papers (maximum of 6 pages) and full research papers (maximum of 12 pages) in accordance with the format recommendations below. A short paper can represent research-in-progress with initial or expected results, while a full research paper should report on results and discuss them in relation to the state-of-the-art. We encourage, regardless, a concise writing style. Papers must be written in a two-column format. It is strongly recommended to use the IEEE A4 templates that are available from the IEEE site.

All submissions must be in PDF -format and must be submitted online to the EasyChair portal.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE

The Program Committee is an independent panel of expert volunteers and as such will do their best to judge papers objectively and on the principle of a level playing field for all.

We are inviting additional members to the Program Committee and welcome nominations from the community.
