16th International Conference on Network of the Future

NoF 2025

30 September - 03 October, 2025
Montreal, Canada

2nd International Workshop on Orchestration and Resource Management: Enabling the Future of Edge and Fog Computing (WORM 2025)

Theme: Edge computing and AI

The increasing number of connected devices is creating a growing demand for processing power, which is stretching the capacity of traditional cloud computing. The limitations of cloud computing, such as high latency and network congestion when dealing with large amounts of data from IoT devices, have led to the rise of Edge and Fog computing. These approaches involve distributing processing power to intermediary layers closer to the devices to overcome these challenges. AI is crucial in optimizing these distributed computing systems, enabling devices to process data more efficiently and autonomously. Edge AI, in particular, enhances real-time decision-making by running AI models directly on edge devices, reducing reliance on centralized cloud processing and minimizing latency for time-sensitive applications. However, integrating AI into Edge and Fog computing introduces new complexities, such as managing AI workloads across multiple levels while ensuring responsiveness and reliability for IoT applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • AI at the edge
  • Edge AI-Generated Content (AIGC)
  • Cloud-fog-edge availability and QoS/QoE management
  • Cloud-fog-edge resource management and migration
  • Cloud-fog-edge service orchestration
  • Cloud-fog-edge power efficiency for resources and Networking
  • Cloud-fog-edge resource management modeling and optimization
  • Cloud-fog-edge data management
  • Cloud-fog-edge scalable monitoring
  • Cloud-fog-edge architecture features and evolution
  • Cloud-fog-edge load balancing
  • Cloud-fog-edge management as a service
  • Cloud-fog-edge scheduling
  • Cloud-fog-edge performance modeling & evaluation
  • Cloud-fog-edge energy efficiency in resource management
  • Fog-edge mobility support
  • Security and privacy in the cloud-fog-edge hierarchy

Submissions

Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared using the IEEE 2-column conference style and are limited to 8 pages including references (Regular papers) or 5 pages including references (Short papers). 

They must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EDAS at: https://edas.info/N34062

Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a thorough single-blind review process.

Technically co-sponsored by IEEE, IEEE ComSoc

For accepted papers to be included on conference proceedings and to be submitted to IEEE Xplore, at least one author must register at the Author rate and papers must be presented in-person at the conference by a registered co-author.
