Description:
The track on original research methods and feasibility outcomes of orchestration and advanced provisioning methods on networks with attention to and in support of big data and cloud integration. Research on novel resource management methods extended as middleware and architectures that lead to cloud/fog computing, sustainable computing, and green networking with attention to optimized resource utilization is welcome. Special topic areas include edge computing/networking, secure/energy-efficient data centers, trustworthy computing/networking, and smart applications along with sustainability considerations.
