Workshop Description
With recent rapid technological advances, new highly demanding mobile services and applications, such as face recognition, natural language processing and augmented reality, are constantly emerging. Traditional mobile networks are becoming incapable of meeting the growing demand not only in data rate but also in computational capability. Mobile edge computing (MEC) is an emerging computing paradigm that brings computation and storage resources to the edge of mobile network. The MEC enables it to run highly demanding applications at the mobile subscribers while meeting strict delay requirements. The objective of MEC is to extend the powerful computing and storage capabilities to the resource-constrained mobile devices (e.g., laptop, tablet and smartphone) so as to reduce computation time, conserve local resources, especially battery, and extend storage capacity.
This workshop aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing and Communications. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help meeting Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of the workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Mobile Edge Computing and Communications. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:
Topics of Interest
- Resource management in future Mobile Edge Networks
- Decision on computation offloading
- Allocation of computing resources
- Mobility management for application offloading
- Content caching for Mobile Edge Networks
- Content Distribution Models in Mobile Edge Computing
- QoS and Traffic Engineering in Mobile Edge Networks
- Prototype platforms and trial deployment experience
- Management and orchestration across compute, storage and network resources in future mobile edge networks
- QoE in Mobile Edge Networks
- Theoretical and experimental evaluations of mobile edge computing
- Backhaul and fronthaul issues in Mobile Edge Networks
Instructions for Authors
Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mecc18) as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Two additional pages arepermitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages). Submitted papers cannot have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The workshop Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceeds the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es).
Review and Publication of Manuscripts
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the workshop Program Committee and judged on originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An accepted paper must be presented at the MECC-18 venue by one of the authors registered at the full registration rate. Each workshop registration covers up to two workshop papers by an author. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the ICCCN proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEE Xplore Digital Library if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.
Journal Collaboration
Selected papers, with enhanced content, will be recommended for publication in Journal of Communications and Information Networks (JCIN).
