Submission deadline | January 31, 2021 |
The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum to discuss problems, solutions, open technical challenges, and perspectives of ongoing research activities concerning the orchestration of resources in the Cloud-to-Things continuum landscape.
The Cloud-toThings continuum concept refers to the opportunity of taking advantage of a broad computing context that mixes Cloud, Edge and IoT resources, thus providing a “continuum” of computing services that applications will be able to access in a transparent and uniform fashion.
One of the main challenges posed by a Cloud-to-Things unified computing environment consists in the design and implementation of a system capable of orchestrating (activating, deactivating, integrating, etc.) computing resources offered by heterogeneous computing infrastructures possibly owned by different providers. This workshop intends to investigate the technological challenges that the research community will have to face in order for the mentioned system to be workable in near future.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
We invite original research papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers should be no longer than 8 pages in two-column IEEE template format. All accepted papers will be published as part of the CCGRID proceedings. All previous CCGRID proceedings have been published by the IEEE and available online through IEEE Digital Library (EI indexing).
A "Best Paper Award" Certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a paper presented at the workshop, selected by the Chairs based on scientific significance, originality and outstanding technical quality of the paper, as assessed also by the evaluations of the members of the Program Committee.
