Subject: Mid4CC - 1st International Workshop on Middleware for the
Computing Continuum

Dear users of Iot-Edge-Cloud mailing list,
================================== CALL FOR PAPERS
=================================
Mid4CC - 1st International Workshop on Middleware for the Computing
Continuum in conjunction
with MIDDLEWARE 2023
Bologna, Italy, 11-15 december 2023
https://mid4cc.netsons.org/
==================================================================================
The Computing Continuum (CC) concept refers to the opportunity for
applications to
take advantage of a broad computing context that mixes Cloud, Fog/Edge,
and IoT
resources. The CC offers a spectrum of computing resources that vary in
terms of
capabilities, form factors, deployment models, etc. In a more extreme
vision, at the
two far ends the CC also encloses mobile resources (e.g., smartphones,
wearables) and
high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
In such a heterogeneous computing environment, resource interoperability
and seamless
integration must be granted in order to enable users to leverage the
right (mix of)
computing resources according to requirements and constraints. To
unleash the real
potential of the CC and make it broadly accessible and usable, software
solutions are
needed that mediate between the complexity of the computing
infrastructures/technologies
that build up the continuum on the one hand, and the challenging QoS
requirements posed
by end users on the other one. This workshop seeks proposals of platforms,
software prototypes, tools, libraries, etc. that act and characterize as
a middleware
for the CC, i.e., a software layer that sits atop the CC and offers end
users high-level
services and functions to implement their applications. We encourage
submissions of
middleware proposals that explore, among others, key functions like, e.g.,
resource management, data management, communication and connectivity
management,
service composition and orchestration, adaptation and context awareness,
security and privacy.
==================================================================================
Conference Topics
==================================================================================
Topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to):
- Resource scheduling, monitoring and orchestration
- Service provisioning in the continuum
- Implementation of data pipes along the continuum
- Data governance in the continuum
- Scalable storage architectures in the continuum
- Service reuse and data caching
- End-to-end provisioning of network services in the continuum
- Network economics and pricing mechanisms in the continuum
- QoS and SLA management across heterogeneous environments
- Support for seamless service migration
- Support for the implementation of dependable systems and applications
- DevOps platforms for the continuum
- Benchmarking environments in the continuum
- Tools for security, privacy and trust management across multiple domains
- Tools for Cloud/HPC integration
Authors are invited to discuss practical use cases in vertical domains such
as Smart City, Smart Industry, Smart Health, Smart Grids, Smart
Agriculture,
Digital Humanities, and Urgent Science.
Finally, we welcome the submission of contributions supported by validating
experiments conducted in real testbeds. In that regard, the most valuable
contributions will be selected for a short live demonstration during the
workshop.
==================================================================================
Submission Guidelines
==================================================================================
We invite original research papers that have not been previously
published and are
not currently under review for publication elsewhere.
Submitted workshop papers should be no longer than 6 pages in the
standard ACM format.
Note that at least one author of each accepted workshop paper must hold
a full
pre-conference registration. The review process is single blind. As in
previous years,
the Middleware conference organizers will provide companion proceedings
including
all workshop papers, which will be available in the ACM Digital Library.
This is subject to the availability of their camera-ready papers by
October 27, 2023.
For the camera-ready instructions, please visit the camera-ready
instructions page:
https://middleware-conf.github.io/2023/camera-ready-instructions/
A "Best Paper Award" certificate will be conferred on the author(s) of a
paper presented
at the workshop, selected by the Chairs based on scientific
significance, originality
and outstanding technical quality of the paper, as assessed also by the
evaluations
of the members of the Program Committee.
Best papers presented at the workshop will be selected and the
corresponding authors
will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for
possible publications in:
================================================================================

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
Gerne möchte ich Sie auf den Call for Papers für die HMD Praxis der
Wirtschaftsinformatik, Heft 356 zum Thema *„Generative KI - Die Ära der
kreativen Maschinen“*, das im April 2024 erscheinen wird, aufmerksam
machen. Hiermit möchte ich Sie gerne aufrufen interessante Beiträge
einzureichen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dr. Sara D‘Onofrio
*Call for Papers HMD 356 - Generative KI: DIe Ära der kreativen Maschinen*
Band 61, Heft 2, April 2024
Generative KI hat das Potenzial, bahnbrechende Fortschritte in
verschiedenen Bereichen zu erzielen. Als eine Weiterentwicklung der
bisher bekannten Künstlichen Intelligenz, können Generative
KI-Algorithmen dazu verwendet werden, autonom kreative Inhalte wie
Bilder, Musik, Texte und Videos zu erschaffen. Die Vielzahl von
Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und die Ergebnisse, die durch Generative KI
erzielt werden, machen die Technologie zu einem vielversprechenden
Forschungsfeld. Paradebeispiele für die Leistungsfähigkeit von
Generativer KI sind die Anwendungen von OpenAI: DALL-E und ChatGPT,
Google: DeepDream und Magenta oder die Open-Source-Software Stable
Diffusion.
Mit der steigenden Nutzung von Generativer KI müssen jedoch auch die
folgenden Themen berücksichtigt werden: Vertrauenswürdigkeit der
Inhalte, digitale Ethik, Haftungsfragen, Datenschutzbedenken,
urheberrechtlichen Aspekte, Plagiatsvorwürfe und die Definition der
Originalität. Der verantwortungsvolle Umgang mit Generativer KI ist
deshalb von großer Bedeutung, um mögliche Herausforderungen zu
bewältigen und das volle Potenzial dieser Technologie sicher und
nachhaltig auszuschöpfen.
Wir suchen geeignete Forschungsbeiträge und Erfahrungsberichte aus der
Praxis, die eines der folgenden Themen , aber gerne auch darüber hinaus
weitere Aspekte adressieren:
* Generative Modelle und ihre Anwendungen
* Umgang mit der KI in Bildung, Forschung und Industrie
* Generative KI als Katalysator für Innovation
* Fähigkeiten und Grenzen von (Generativer) KI
* Ethik und Verantwortung in der (Generativen) KI / Ethics by Design
* Verantwortungsverlagerung Mensch-Maschine
* Standards, Richtlinien und Massstäbe zu (Generativer) KI
* Die Zukunft der Generativen KI / Die Ära der kreativen Maschinen
Sollten Sie einen Artikel zum Schwerpunktthema „Generative KI: Die Ära
der kreativen Maschinen“ beitragen können, freue ich mich auf Ihren
Artikel aus Forschung und/oder Praxis.
*Zeitplan***
* Artikelidee/Konzept per E-Mail an Hrsg. bis 16.08.2023
* Einreichung des vollständigen Beitrags bis 31.10.2023
* Übermittlung der Gutachten an Autor:innen bis ca. 30.11.2023
* Finale Überarbeitung durch Autor:innen bis 31.12.2023
* Redaktionsschluss: 31.01.2024
Jeder Beitrag wird sofort nach seiner Annahme und Freigabe durch die
Autor:innen auf den beiden Plattformen /SpringerLink/ und /Springer for
Professionals/ „online first“ publiziert – der genannte Zeitplan bezieht
sich auf die Termine für die Print-Veröffentlichung.
*Operative Hinweise***
Das Proposal wird per E-Mail an die Hrsg. eingereicht. Danach erfolgt
der gesamte Einreichungs-, Begutachtungs- und Freigabeprozess über die
Plattform Editorial Manager
(http://www.editorialmanager.com/hmdw/default.aspx). Die
Autorenrichtlinien finden Sie unter http://www.springer.com/hmd -
