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
