2nd Workshop on Engineering Techniques for Distributed Computing Continuum Systems (EDCCS)

Description: 45th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2025), 20-23 Jul 2025, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Distributed Computing Continuum Systems (DCCS) represent a disruptive transformation for the distributed computing paradigm, where boundaries between disparate computing environments vanish, and a seamless continuum emerges. DCCSs are based on the idea of a continuum of computing resources, where each resource has different capabilities and characteristics and, furthermore, different tenants and owners. As cloud computing, edge computing, mobile devices, and other computing devices become a unified ecosystem, numerous opportunities and challenges arise. Creating a cohesive ecosystem in which resources are dynamically allocated across different tiers in accordance with the specific needs of the task at hand while service objectives, including QoS and QoE, are dynamically fulfilled is an ambitious task. In our workshop, we gather papers on various theoretical and practical aspects of DCCS with a special focus on works that show DCCS inherent heterogeneity, e.g., heterogeneity of devices, computing tiers, tenants, owners, etc., and build solutions able to benefit from these differences while making the distributed system to behave as a cohesive entity. The outcome of this special track will produce a roadmap and an initial set of techniques for DCCS researchers and practitioners that will revolutionize the practical implementation of various real-life applications.

This session is a significant step in exploring the potential of distributed computing continuum systems, focusing on revolutionizing interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in the field of distributed systems. The outcomes of this session will serve as a reference for future developments in this area and help define a roadmap for the use of computing continuum systems in various applications. The session aligns with the Conference’s mission to promote cutting-edge distributed systems research and applications to address critical challenges facing society.

Topics

We accept submissions on a wide range of topics in these domains, with a particular emphasis on distributed computing continuum systems, including (but not limited to):

Important Dates

Submission Guidelines

Papers must be original and unpublished, and must not be submitted concurrently for publication elsewhere. All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5? x 11? two-column format using 10pt fonts and the IEEE Conference template (downloadable by selecting Conferences in the IEEE-Template Selector https://template-selector.ieee.org/). Each submission can have up to 6 pages (including figures, tables, appendices, and references). Papers exceeding this page limit or with smaller fonts will be rejected without review.

For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to pay a full author registration and attend the conference to present their work on site. No-show paper will be reported to the publisher and removed from the conference publication. For authors with multiple papers accepted by the conference, a separate author registration is required for each paper.

Authors of accepted papers must ensure that at least one of the co-authors is registered for the workshop and physically presents their work. All accepted workshop papers will be published in the IEEE ICDCS workshop proceedings.

The workshop paper submission system will be the EasyChair ICDCSW 2025:
