CLOSED: Call for Papers: Special Special on New Tools and Techniques for the Distributed Computing Continuum (DCC)

TPDS seeks submissions for this upcoming special section.

Tentative Publication: January-March 2025

This Special Section on New Tools and Techniques the Distributed Computing Continuum (DCC) will provide a forum for presenting research works from diverse areas from the computing continuum such as distributed scheduling, resource management, cloud-edge computing, workflows management, distributed data analytics and AI techniques in the DCC, and computational science applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Interoperable programming environments for heterogeneous architectures at scale

New tools for scalability in the Computing Continuum.

Workflow environments for the Computing Continuum.

Multicriteria scheduling algorithms for the Computing Continuum.

Workload characterization and modelling.

Parallel programming in the edge and in the computing continuum.

Data management in Edge devices and the computing continuum.

Middleware and programming models for processing large-scale data

IoT data management and analytics in cloud and serverless models

Optimizing I/O with ad-hoc storage systems.

Coupling distributed simulations with in-situ data analysis

Artificial Intelligence in the IoT-Edge-Cloud continuum.

Privacy and trust in the Computing Continuum

Large-scale green computing systems to optimize energy in the Computing Continuum

Innovative applications and case studies in the Computing Continuum
