ICFC 2020 Call for Posters

Fog computing is the extension of cloud computing into its edge and the physical world to meet the data volume and decision velocity requirements in many emerging applications, such as augmented and virtual realities (AR/VR), cyber-physical systems (CPS), intelligent and autonomous systems, and mission-critical systems. The boundary between powerful centralized cloud and massively distributed, Internet connected sensors, actuators, and “things” is blurred in this new computing paradigm.

The 2020 IEEE International Conference on Fog Computing (ICFC 2020), brings together researchers and practitioners across academia, industry, and governments to exchange visions, technical challenges, and research outcomes in a single forum. ICFC takes a broad view of Fog Computing, including computation, connectivity, mobility, sensing and actuation, theories, and systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • System architecture for fog computing
  • Coordination between cloud, fog, and sensing/actuation endpoints
  • Connectivity, storage, and computation in the edge
  • Data processing and management for fog computing
  • Efficient and embedded AI in the fog
  • System and network manageability
  • Middleware and coordination platforms
  • Power, energy, and resource management
  • Device and hardware support for fog computing
  • Programming models, abstractions, and software engineering for fog computing
  • Security, privacy, and ethics issues related to fog computing
  • Theoretical foundations and formal methods for fog computing systems
  • Applications and experiences

We solicit posters:

  • that articulate research challenges, work in progress, and application showcases of fog computing. Posters are limited to 2 pages, and the title must start with “Poster:”.

Submitted poster papers must be PDF files in IEEE two column format. Please use the template available from the conference website to prepare your draft. Submissions do not have to be blind, i.e. by omitting author names or affiliations.


Poster papers should be submitted at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfc2020.

  • Submission deadline: February 8, 2020 (AoE)
  • Notification: February 17, 2020
