(Apologies if you received multiple copies of this call) **************************** MobileEdgeCom 2019 CFP *************************** The International Workshop on New and Disruptive Technologies and Applications for Mobile Edge/Fog Computing - MobileEdgeCom 2019 http://mobileedgecom.hevs.ch/ Waikoloa, HI, USA, December 9-13, 2019 Co-located with The IEEE Global Communications Conference (IEEE Globecom 2019) - https://globecom2019.ieee-globecom.org/ INTRODUCTION ============= The recent evolution of ICT has led to an increasing pervasiveness of sensing and computing, with the consequent generation of massive amount of data, calling for scalable and efficient decentralized approaches to data storage and elaboration. This has originated a progressive shift towards Fog and Smart-Edge nodes, mediating between the cloud and the end devices. The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is a decentralized model that transfers (part of) computing-intensive tasks from the cloud to intermediate (fog) nodes or to edge nodes. It typically leverages the computational capabilities of virtually any networked device, including resources such as laptops, smartphones, tablets and sensors. Within the context of cellular networks, The Edge Computing approach has led to Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), enabling operators to run applications and perform related processing tasks closer to the cellular customer, reducing network congestion while improving latency and application performance. Such a vision is further boosted by the advent of 5G technologies, and the relative softwarization and virtualization of the main functionalities within the cellular network. Many research issues are currently open in MEC. At the same time, MEC is paving the way to many disruptive and novel application and business models, unforeseen previously, by boosting the visionary concepts of smart cities and factories. This workshop aims at collecting contributions highlighting challenges, state-of-the-art, and solutions to a set of currently open issues in MEC, including – but not limited to – performance, modelling, optimization, energy-efficiency, reliability, security, privacy and techno-economic aspects of Edge Computing. Through addressing these concerns while understanding their impacts and limitations, technological advancements will be channeled toward more sustainable/efficient platforms for tomorrow’s ever-connected systems and industrial applications. This workshop will welcome two kinds of contributions: • Research papers on innovative ideas, applications and solutions within the context of Mobile Edge Computing, which identify challenges, report experiences, and discuss progress towards design, solutions for MEC; • Position papers, describing revolutionary and visionary concepts related to Mobile Edge Computing and its applications, which identify vision/ideas of MEC where novel technologies taken from 5G, or even 6G, blockchain, virtualization are applied. This workshop aims at bringing together leading researchers from both academia and industry, providing an opportunity for them to share their vision on Mobile Edge Computing and novel disruptive ideas, with the potential of opening up novel research directions and/or applications. The goal is to solicit new ideas, insights and inspiration for the current research on Mobile Edge/Fog Computing. SCOPE AND TOPICS ================ Original papers are welcome on (but not limited to): ● Architectures and Middleware for MEC ● Distributed data storage and retrieval in MEC ● Performance and Security issues ● Energy efficiency aspects in MEC ● Architectures and Middleware for MEC ● Edge Intelligence ● 5G-enabled Edge Computing ● Edge Computing for Industrial Automation ● Blockchain-based Edge Computing ● Edge Computing within the Internet of Things ● Energy-efficient architectures/solutions for MEC ● Energy harvesting and offloading for MEC ● Network slicing and Resource allocation at the Edge. IMPORTANT DATES ================ ·Paper submission deadline: July 7th, 2019 ·Paper acceptance notification: August 15, 2019 ·Final camera ready and registration: September 15, 2019 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== The workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers.

China Mobile Edge platform evaluation presentation next Tuesday
by Ildiko Vancsa 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hi, I attended a presentation today from Qihui Zhao about China Mobile’s experience on evaluation different edge deployment models with various software components. As many of the evaluated components are part of OpenStack and/or StarlingX I invited her for next week’s Edge Computing Group call (Tuesday, June 18) to share their findings with the working group and everyone who is interested. For agenda and call details please visit this wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group#Meetings Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

[ironic][edge]: Recap of PTG discussions
by Csatari, Gergely (Nokia - HU/Budapest) 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hi, There was a one hour discussion with Julia from Ironic with the Edge Computing Group [1]. In this mail I try to conclude what was discussed and ask some clarification questions. Current Ironic uses DHCP for hardware provisioning, therefore it requires DHCP relay enabled on the whole path to the edge cloud instances. There are two alternatives to solve this: 1) Virtual media support [2] where the ip configuration is embedded into a virtual image what is booted via the board management interface 2) Redfish support, however the state and support of redfish for host management is not clear. Is there already a specification has been added for redfish support? Upgrade of edge cloud infrastructures: - Firmware upgrade should be supported by Ironic. Is this something on its way or is this a new need? - Operating system and infra update can be solved using Fenix [3], however handling several edge cloud instances from a central location needs new features. Handling of failed servers: - A monitoring system or the operator should provide the input to mark a server as failed - Ironic can power down the failed servers and have the definition of a maintenance state - Discussed in [4] Additional ideas what we half discussed: - Running Ironic containers in a switch with the images hosted by Swift somewhere else. Are there any concerns about this idea? Any missing features from somewhere?

Lab requirements collection
by Csatari, Gergely (Nokia - HU/Budapest) 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hi, During the PTG sessions we agreed that we will try to build and verify the minimal reference architectures (formally known as MVP architectures). We also discovered, that we might need to have some hardware for this. Some companies were kind enough to promise some hardware resource for us if we can define the "lab requirements" for these. There was someone in the room who volunteered for this task, but unfortunatelly I forgot the name. Can someone please remind me who was the kind person to volunteer for this task? Thanks, Gerg0

Hi, According to my best memories we agreed on the PTG, that Ian will propose a neutron specification for "Segment ranges in tenant networks configureble by a tenant using an API extension" [1]. Do I remember correctly? [1]: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hGzBA2Nzu2dfG3if8 Thanks, Gerg0
