28th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks

Towards full life cycle automation in the IoT-edge-cloud continuum

March 11-14, 2025
Paris, France

1st Workshop on Cloud-edge Systems in Industrial IoT Applications (CE-IIA)

Description

The convergence of cloud and edge computing has revolutionized the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), enabling real-time decision-making, improved data management, and enhanced operational efficiency. Cloud-edge architectures facilitate distributed intelligence across smart factories, energy systems, transportation, healthcare, and other industrial sectors, presenting new challenges and opportunities. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to discuss the latest advancements in cloud-edge systems for IIoT and explore emerging trends, challenges, and future directions.

The main topics of interest encompass various aspects of cloud-edge systems in IIoT applications, including but not limited to:

  • Architectures for Cloud-Edge Integration in IIoT
    • Distributed and hybrid cloud to edge models
    • Multi-access edge computing (MEC) in IIoT environments
    • Cloud and edge orchestration and resource management
    • Interoperability and standardization challenges
  • Real-Time Data Processing and Analytics
    • Edge-based real-time decision-making in IIoT
    • Machine learning and AI techniques for edge intelligence
