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 decentralization 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. The next generation of Information
Systems
will further push these trends to create seamless and pervasive
systems.
Fog Computing, in particular, 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 context, the management of ISs can exploit the
diversification of
the resources available, but at the same time is getting more and
more
complex and challenging. The management of next-generation ISs
should,
therefore, take into consideration the heterogeneity of the
cloud/fog
infrastructure. Such complex architecture is posing new challenges
in the
management of modern applications, especially in reference to
enhancement
of quality of service, security, privacy, and energy efficiency.
In
particular, security and privacy need to be considered for the
amount of
sensitive data possibly produced, while energy efficiency is
central, due
to the high amount of computational nodes involved. Approaches
such as
blockchains and distributed learning can be exploited to face
these
emerging challenges, but universally accepted solutions for
next-generation
ISs are yet to be found.
In this workshop, we aim to collect contributions investigating
the
management of cloud and fog computing in next-generation
Information
Systems.
Topics include but are not limited to:
-
Modeling, Monitoring, and Managing Cloud and Fog computing
solutions
-
Models, methods, and tools for data management in Cloud and Fog
Computing
-
Energy-awareness and sustainability in Distributed Information
Systems
-
Quality of Service, energy efficiency and security in Fog
Computing
-
Blockchain proposals for IoT and edge devices
-
Blockchain-based architectures for Fog Computing
-
Distributed and Federated Learning in heterogeneous Information
Systems
-
Synergy between Distributed Information Systems and the Internet
of
Things
-
Security and privacy solutions for next-generation Information
Systems.
Negis2021 will be co-located in Melbourne with the 33rd
International
Conference on Advanced Information Systems (CAISE'21, 28 June-2
July 2021).
BEST PAPER AWARD
=================
The best paper will be considered for publication in the
International
Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS). 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
=========
Abstract submission: 22nd February 2021
Full paper submissions: 1st March 2021
Notification of acceptance: 6th April 2021
Camera-ready copies: 12th April 2021
Workshop: 29th June 2021
SUBMISSION
==========
The workshop is addressed to researchers with a background in the
field of
Emerging Challenges 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 that 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 sustainable IS engineering.
-
Short Papers describe an initial approach towards an innovative
idea in
the field of sustainable 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
<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>
and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or Word, for
the
preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to
include their
ORCIDs
<https://goo.gl/hbsa4D> 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.
