Papers Submission Link
We are organising a Special Issue for the Journal of Grid Computing, focusing on the topics covered by the workshop. Selected authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for consideration.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and experts in Serverless Computing, Edge Computing, and Cloud Computing to submit papers addressing the integration of Serverless FaaS into the Edge-Cloud continuum. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Innovative architectural designs based on the Serverless FaaS model for geo-distributed and resource-constrained Edge-Cloud environments.
Efficient distributed scheduling and resource allocation strategies in the Edge-Cloud continuum using the Serverless FaaS model.
Approaches to guarantee seamless scalability of Serverless FaaS applications, minimising the energy consumption of resource-constrained edge nodes and considering applications SLAs.
Solutions to enable the orchestration of functions in the Edge-Cloud continuum considering hybrid models and offloading to non-serverless Clouds.
Efficient execution of Serverless FaaS workflows by trading off edge resources pre-warming and function cold start considering data locality and geographic resource distribution.
Design of strategies and mechanisms to manage application state alongside functions for implementing stateful applications running in the Edge-Cloud continuum.
Techniques enabling real-time processing and automation in IoT applications on the Edge-Cloud continuum using the Serverless FaaS model.
Federated management and deployment of Serverless FaaS platforms in the heterogeneous multi-provider Edge-Cloud resource continuum.
Solutions to address the hardware heterogeneity of the Edge-Cloud continuum, ranging from resource-constrained edge nodes to data centres, possibly including hardware accelerators.
Strategies and best practices for ensuring security and data protection in Serverless FaaS applications at the edge.
Autonomic network management of the Serverless FaaS Edge-Cloud Continuum
Real-world case studies, use cases, and practical experiences using the Serverless FaaS model in the Edge-Cloud continuum.
