About the Conference

ICFEC 2026

The 10th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2026) is a premier forum that brings together researchers, practitioners, industry experts, and technologists to discuss and explore the latest developments, trends, and innovations in fog and edge computing. ICFEC 2026 will be held in conjunction with the 26th International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing (CCGrid 2026) in Sydney, Australia.

As alternatives to traditional cloud computing, new paradigms such as fog computing, edge computing, and the edge-fog-cloud continuum have been proposed and are increasingly being deployed. These approaches aim to bring computational resources closer to data sources, thereby reducing network latency and data traffic at the core of the network. Use cases for fog and edge computing range from smart factories over smart grids to autonomous vehicles, just to name a few examples. New methods and mechanisms are essential for effectively managing software, infrastructure, and network aspects impacted by the adoption of these emerging computing paradigms.

Call for Papers

ICFEC 2026 takes a broad view of fog and edge computing and aims to publish high-quality research contributions and experience reports related to system designs, end-to-end architectures, enabling technologies, and domain-specific applications within these emerging computing paradigms. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Hardware architectures and devices for fog and edge computing
  • Software architectures, programming models, network protocols, storage and data management platforms, middlewares, and runtime systems for fog computing, edge computing, or the edge-fog-cloud continuum/compute continuum
  • Federated learning algorithms, architectures, and protocols in and for the compute continuum
  • Resource management, task scheduling, and capacity planning solutions
  • Simulation toolkits for fog computing, edge computing, or the compute continuum
  • Performance monitoring and metering of infrastructures along the compute continuum
  • Security, privacy, trust, and provenance issues and solutions for the compute continuum
  • Energy-efficient and environmentally-aware computing in the compute continuum
  • Domain-specific applications, such as in smart manufacturing, mobility, healthcare, and agriculture
  • Emerging trends such as edge computing in space, quantum computing at the edge, edge digital twins, and sustainable fog/edge computing
  • Practical experience in developing, deploying, and evaluating fog/edge computing systems, applications, and services

Submission Instructions

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Full/Regular Paper submissions should follow the IEEE template for conference proceedings. Authors should submit papers, written in English, electronically in PDF format, and may not exceed 8 letter-size pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. Apart from regular papers, authors may also submit short papers and extended abstracts for posters. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on originality, technical strength, significance, presentation, and relevance to the conference by at least three reviewers. Papers may be submitted online at EasyChair.

Papers that are accepted for publication may be accepted as REGULAR papers (8 pages), SHORT papers (4 pages), or extended abstracts for POSTER (2 pages), depending on the reviewers' recommendations. Accepted regular, short, and poster papers will be included in the conference proceedings that will be published through the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services.
