CALL FOR PAPERS
===============

Deadline: Extended to January 12th 2015

The First IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Management of Fog Computing
May 11, 2015, Ottawa, Canada
IEEE IM 2015
(http://manfog.queenstrl.ca/)

Description:

Cloud computing allows services to be hosted in data centers and can be
remotely accessed by applications running on a mobile device. This
architecture works well for many mobile applications, but is problematic
for applications that are sensitive to  network latency (e.g., augmented
reality and video streaming). This architecture is also unsuitable for the
Internet of Things (IOT) where sensors and actuators are embedded in
physical objects that are linked to the Internet through wired and wireless
networks. Sensors produce huge volumes of data and may be used in
applications that span over a large geographical region and must react
quickly in response to specific events. Potential applications include
smart cities, smart buildings, healthcare, industrial control, intelligent
transportation, emergency response and environmental monitoring. ManFog
2015 aims at providing an international forum for researchers to discuss
and address management challenges.

List of topics include, but are not limited to:
-Trends and challenges related to Fog computing
-Distributed mobile applications/services (IOT, sensing, and
context-awareness
-Resource management/allocation among Fog nodes, networks and clouds
-Virtualization and programming infrastructure
-Software defined networks (SDNs): architectures and protocols
-Localization mechanisms and algorithms related to Fog computing
-Computation offloading: strategies and techniques for Fog computing
-Managing data flows among Fog nodes and clouds
-Trust, security and privacy issues related to Fog computing and mobile
cloud
-Energy and resource optimization in Fog computing
-Mobility and context-aware support for Fog computing
-Performance evaluation of Fog computing techniques and models
