[NFBCS] [Deadline Extended] Call for Papers: 5th International Workshop From Cloud to Things: towards the convergence of IoT, Edge and Cloud Computing - Cloud2Things 2025

Tue Jul 1 22:04:01 UTC 2025

Dear users of Nfbcs mailing list,

***********************************************************************
5th International Workshop "From Cloud to Things: towards the convergence
of IoT, Edge and Cloud Computing" - Cloud2Things 2025
Workshop of UbiComp/ISWC 2025

October 12-13, 2025, Espoo, Finland -
https://cloud2things.netsons.org/2025/index.html

Paper Submissions Due: 6 July 2025 (Extended Firm)
Acceptance Notification: 20 July 2025
Camera Ready Papers Due: 27 July 2025

***********************************************************************

We invite researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to submit
contributions to the Cloud2Things workshop,
focused on exploring how the Compute Continuum—spanning edge, fog, and
cloud infrastructures—can effectively
support and enhance ubiquitous computing.
As emerging applications demand real-time processing, intelligent workload
distribution, and robust orchestration, this workshop aims to address
the opportunities and challenges of integrating computing resources across
multiple layers.

***********************************************************************
Topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to):

- Architectures and Frameworks for Compute Continuum and Ubiquitous
Continuum
- Scalable and adaptive architectures for seamless integration of edge,
fog, and cloud computing
- Middleware solutions for interoperability among edge, fog, cloud, and IoT
systems
- Distributed computing frameworks to support latency-sensitive ubiquitous
applications
- Software-defined and AI-driven orchestration for intelligent workload
distribution
- Hybrid and multi-cloud approaches for ubiquitous service delivery
- Resource provisioning in the ubiquitous continuum
- Dynamic resource provisioning and adaptive load balancing
- Serverless and microservices computing
- Cross-context and cross-domain service migration
- Efficient offloading strategies for latency-sensitive and
compute-intensive tasks
- Network-aware workload placement and orchestration
- Blockchain-based and ML-based resource orchestration
- Energy-efficient computing and sustainability in the compute continuum
- Data management and analytics
- Scalable storage architectures in pervasive contexts
- Data migration issues across heterogeneous infrastructures
- Implementation of data pipes along the Things-to-Cloud path
- Data governance in the computing continuum
- Distributed analytics in the computing continuum
- Orchestration of complex mixed data-parallel dataflow workloads in the
computing continuum
- Event-driven and publish-subscribe models for real-time processing
- Intelligent and Autonomous Decision-Making
- AI and machine learning techniques for autonomous resource orchestration
- Federated and distributed learning approaches for ubiquitous intelligence
- Reinforcement learning approaches for autonomous and distributed systems
optimization
- ML-based and continuum-powered solutions to enhance adaptivity in the
ubiquitous continuum
- Digital Twins
- Frameworks for Distributed Digital Twins (DDTs) in pervasive contexts
- Design methodologies for DDTs
- DDT-based applications and solutions in pervasive contexts
- Resilient, scalable and secure DDTs
- Security, Privacy, and Trust
- Secure data sharing and access control across heterogeneous platforms
- Privacy-preserving computing techniques in ubiquitous environments
- Threat modeling and mitigation strategies for distributed infrastructures
- Blockchain and decentralized approaches for trust management

Submission Guidelines
***********************************************************************
We invite original research papers that have not been previously published
and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere.
Submitted papers should be no longer than 6 pages in ACM sigcong template
format. The review process is single blind.
All accepted papers will be published as part of Ubicomp workshops.
Proceedings will be published by ACM.

Submission Link: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/Cloud2Things2025

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.

Organization Committee:
Dr. Giuseppe Di Modica, University of Bologna, Italy
Dr. Alessio Catalfamo, University of Messina, Italy
Dr. Ioannis Konstantinou, University of Thessaly, Greece
