CALL FOR PAPERS - extended deadline 3/3/2020
==========================================================
1st International Workshop on Next Generation
Information Systems: Modeling, Monitoring and
Management in Cloud and Fog Computing (NeGIS
2020)
Co-located with CAiSE'20
June 9th 2020 Grenoble, France
==========================================================
SCOPE
======
The amount of data and services supported by
Information Systems (ISs) has increased
exponentially during the last few years. To
improve their efficiency and reduce costs, modern
organizations have been shifting their services,
with part of their ISs, to the Cloud. More recent
developments have shown an inversion towards the
decentralisation and distribution of applications
and services in the huge pool of devices and
computing facilities available nearer to the
customers. This shift is due to the impact of the
Internet of Things, which is further increasing
the amount of data to be stored and computed. Fog
Computing is the last frontier for ISs, where data
and services can be moved in the continuum of
resources between the cloud and the edge.
In this workshop, we aim to collect
contributions investigating issues related to the
management of cloud and fog computing in modern
information systems with a focus, but not limited,
on energy efficiency, security, and privacy, their
relations and the trade-off with other
requirements such as response time and throughput.
In doing so, we are considering both the
application components of the information system
with their complexity, as well as the management
of the data used by such applications. We also
consider the impact of the human in the loop,
looking at how the awareness and the behaviours of
users and designers in socio-technical systems can
affect the effective adoption of energy and
security policies.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Modelling Cloud and Fog computing solutions
for modern Information Systems
- Monitoring and Managing Information Systems
in Cloud and Fog Computing
- Models, methods, and tools for data
management in Cloud and Fog Computing
- Energy-awareness and sustainability in
Information Systems: metrics and measurements
- Quality of Service, energy efficiency and
security in Mobile Edge Computing
- Methodologies and tools for energy efficiency
and security compliance in Cloud and Fog computing
- Adaptive approaches to manage energy
consumption, QoS, and security of applications and
systems
- Energy and Security aware blockchain
solutions
- Energy and security requirements in
Information Systems and Socio-Technical Systems
Energy and security behaviours in
Socio-Technical Systems
Negis2020 will be co-located in Grenoble with
the 32nd International Conference on Advanced
Information Systems (CAISE'20, 8-12 June 2020).
BEST PAPER AWARD
=================
The best paper will be considered for
publication in a high-level international journal.
To be selected the paper must include a validation
of the proposed approach. The authors of the paper
selected as the best paper will have to provide an
extended version for submission to a fast
evaluation track.
KEY DATES
=========
Full paper submissions: 3rd March 2020
(EXTENDED!)
Notification of acceptance: 1st April 2020
Camera-ready copies: 7th April 2020
Workshop: 9th June 2020
SUBMISSION
==========
The workshop is addressed to researchers with a
strong background in the field of Modeling,
Monitoring and Management of information systems
in Cloud and Fog Computing. Contributions will be
evaluated for their relevance to the workshop
topics and will be blind reviewed by at least
three PC members. The workshop will be divided
into two main parts. In the first part, authors of
accepted papers will present their work. This part
will be divided into sessions according to the
topics emerged from the contributions. The second
part will be a round table for discussing issues
and solutions, aiming at enhancing collaboration.
Contributions are accepted in the form of:
- Full Papers describe original solutions
(theoretical, methodological or conceptual) in the
field of modern IS engineering.
- Short Papers describe an initial approach
towards an innovative approach in the field of
modern IS engineering.
Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The
results described must be unpublished and must not
be under review elsewhere. Submissions must
conform to Springer’s LNBIP format and should not
exceed 12 pages (6 pages for short papers),
including all text, figures, references, and
appendices.
Authors should consult Springer’s authors'
guidelines and use their proceedings templates,
either for LaTeX or Word, for the preparation of
their papers. Springer encourages authors to
include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition,
the corresponding author of each paper, acting on
behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must
complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The
corresponding author signing the copyright form
should match the corresponding author marked on
the paper. Once the files have been sent to
Springer, changes relating to the authorship of
the papers cannot be made.
