Call for Papers

EAI ICECI 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference (with an on-site possibility).

In 2020, EAI successfully launched an online conference format to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the events, all while retaining fully live interaction, publication and indexing. Due to the unrelenting global pandemic, this will also be the case in 2021.
Although we will miss having everyone meet and connect in person, we feel strongly that knowledge exchange must continue, if not more so. That is why we have equipped our online conferences with live viewing with chat, virtual Q&A, and a multitude of other measures to provide you with a great experience. Learn more about EAI’s online conferences.
If the situation allows it, the event will take place in its original location with an option to present remotely. In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.

Scope

The explosion of the big data generated by ubiquitous edge devices motivates the emergence of applying machine learning systems for Edge Computing and Internet of Things (IoT) services. Machine learning techniques, which have attracted attention from both academia and industry in recent years, are delivering a promising solution to the industry for building IoT systems and to make innovation at a rapid pace.

The proceedings of EAI ICECI 2021 is aiming to be a premier international conference in Edge Computing and IoT. This conference is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of Edge Computing or IoT including all aspects with emphasis on systems, management and security.

The conference on Edge Computing and IoT: Systems, Management and Security (EAI ICECI) will be held on November 5-7, 2021 in Shenzhen, China, with the vision to bring together technical experts and researchers from academia and industry from all around the world to discuss the emerging technologies of Edge Computing and Internet of Things.

  • Energy-awareness and sustainability in IoT and Edge Computing: metrics and measurements
  • Quality of Service, energy efficiency and security in Mobile Edge Computing
  • Methodologies and tools for energy efficiency and security compliance in IoT and Edge Computing
  • Smart applications in IoT and Edge Computing
  • Data-Driven and its applications in Intelligent IoT and Edge Computing systems

Publication

All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.

ICECI proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, such as Web of Science, EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases), DBLP, EU Digital Library, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus, Zentralblatt MATH.


Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to:

All accepted authors are eligible to submit an extended version in a fast track of:

Additional publication opportunities:

Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection.
