CFP [Deadline Approaching] : 1st ACM CoNEXT Workshop on Emerging in-Network Computing Paradigms (ENCP’19)
by reza tourani 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

(Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this email) The Abstract Registration Deadline has been removed to accommodate for some technical paper authors to have a chance to submit their work. There will be NO EXTENSION for the paper submission deadline. — — Dear Colleagues, Please consider contributing to the 1st ACM CoNEXT Workshop on Emerging in-Network Computing Paradigms (ENCP’19) to be held on 9 December 2019; Orlando, FL, USA. Workshop links: https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2019/#!/workshop-encp <https://conferences2.sigcomm.org/co-next/2019/#!/workshop-encp>, http://www.cs.umsl.edu/~encp19/ <http://www.cs.umsl.edu/~encp19/> Scope and Topic List The integration of computing and networking is considered a promising direction to fulfill the strict low latency and high data exchange requirements of a number of new and innovative application use-cases (e.g., augmented/virtual reality, autonomous driving, drone coverage). Context-aware networking can help maximize the compute utilization at the edge increasing the network capacity. For instance, network functions may enable intelligent distribution of tasks to resources, the reuse of results from previously executed tasks, adaptability to the dynamic nature of edge ecosystems (e.g., network dynamics, bursty rates of tasks, dynamic resource availability). The ENCP workshop has the integration of networking and computing as the central theme with a focus on mechanisms for the joint optimization of networking and computing resources, infrastructure virtualization, in-network caching, compute reuse, and security and privacy concerns. The ENCP workshop has the goal of serving as a venue, where minds from the Distributed Computing, Information-Centric Networking (ICN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Edge Computing communities meet to advance the state-of-the-art in the area of systems for In-Network Computing. The workshop welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, who explore challenges and advances in architectures, algorithms, protocols, middleware, and technologies in the current or the future clean-slate Internet. We also encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to stimulate insightful discussions. ENCP invites submissions of unpublished work on the following topics (but not limited to): • Architectures of in-network computing • In-network caching solutions • Virtualization for in-network computing systems • Network Function Virtualization (NFV) for in-network computing • Security, privacy, trust management, and access control in in-network computing architectures • Information-Centric Networking (ICN) for in-network computing • Software-Defined Networking for in-network computing • In-network computing for challenged networks (e.g., disaster scenarios) • Deployment and interoperability with traditional network architectures/functions • Network slicing for in-network computing systems • Internet of Things (IoT) for in-network computing • Pricing and billing in in-network computing systems • Highly available in-network computing systems • Management of in-network computing systems • In-network computing in the era of 5G • Scalability, performance advancements, and fault-tolerance • Tools for troubleshooting, monitoring, and validation of in-network computing systems and architectures • Innovative applications that in-network computing enables • In-network computing in public and private clouds, as well as edge computing paradigms • Resource allocation, modeling, and analysis • Applications of machine learning to in-network computing • Microservice architectures • Distributed consensus algorithms • Data processing frameworks Important dates Paper registration deadline: September 9, 2019 Paper submission deadline: September 16, 2019 Acceptance notification: October 4, 2019 Camera-ready deadline: October 13, 2019 Workshop date: December 9, 2019 Submission details The workshop solicits papers written in the standard (2-column, 10pt ACM format). All the submissions will be double-blind and will be peer-reviewed. Per the anonymity guide, authors must remove their own names and any other information that may identify themselves to the reviewers. Submissions should be no more than 6 pages (including references, appendix, and all figures). The submission links will be announced shortly. — Best Regards, Abderrahmen Mtibaa, Spyridon Mastorakis, and Dirk Kutscher ENCP'19 General Chairs

[newbie question] what's edge computing
by Wesley Peng 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

Hi, Does edge computing means putting many nodes in different edge IDCs, like what CDN does? Or it means to expand computing capability using user's mobile devices, IoT devices etc? Thanks.

Edge tutorial articles - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
by Ildiko Vancsa 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hi, I’m reaching out to you as I got asked if we have people in our working group who would be interested in writing up writing a practical "Edge Tutorial” or two for the large German magazine iX (Heise-Verlag). The request has the following parameters: * Target group: interested community with strong IT background * Target focus: practical guide to use Edge Computing related frameworks (maybe an example regarding distributed edge intelligence) * Size: 2-6 pages with 6000 to 7000 characters each (incl. spaces) and code snippets. Figures would count for around 500 characters. * Timing: * Tutorial 1: beginning of October * Tutorial 2: beginning of November As the articles will be published in a German paper they either need to be written in German or need to be translated. __As we have a very tough timeline, please reach out to me if you are interested in participating ASAP.__ Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Ildikó

by Ildiko Vancsa 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi, I’m reaching out with an attempt to organize hacking days to work on edge related tasks. The idea is to get together remotely on IRC/Zoom or any other platform that supports remote communication and work on items like building and testing our reference architectures or work on some project specific items like in Keystone or Ironic. Here are Doodle polls for the next three months: August: https://doodle.com/poll/ucfc9w7iewe6gdp4 September: https://doodle.com/poll/3cyqxzr9vd82pwtr October: https://doodle.com/poll/6nzziuihs65hwt7b Please mark any day when you have some availability to dedicate to hack even if it’s not a full day. Please let me know if you have any questions. As a reminder you can find the edge computing group’s resources and information about latest activities here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Edge_Computing_Group Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó (IRC: ildikov)

Shanghai Forum and PTG preparation
by Ildiko Vancsa 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi, As we are getting closer to the Open Infrastructure Summit and PTG in Shanghai we need to start our preparation to the Forum and PTG. The Forum submission period is September 2-16. I created an etherpad for ideas to submit as session proposals for the edge group: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/PVG-ECG-forum-brainstorming We also requested a day for the PTG. I created another etherpad to put together an agenda for the event as well as plan ahead to have cross-project sessions so we can reach out to the projects and organize the slots with them: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/PVG-ECG-PTG Please add your ideas or comments to the above etherpads so we can consider all aspects before submitting Forum session ideas as well as putting together the agenda for the PTG. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

There are security related examples described in the Edge Security Challenges whitepaper [0] drafted by k8s IoT SIG [1], like in the chapter 2 Trusting hardware, whereby "GPS coordinate changes can be used to force a shutdown of an edge node". So a node may be taken out of service as an indicator of a particular condition of edge hardware.
