Peter the Great hacked through a window to Europe. We use doors.
Edge Computing Workshop (doors) is a peer-reviewed international Computer Science workshop focusing on research advances and applications of edge computing, a process of building a distributed system in which some applications, as well as computation and storage services, are provided and managed by (i) central clouds and smart devices, the edge of networks in small proximity to mobile devices, sensors, and end users; and (ii) others are provided and managed by the center cloud and a set of small in-between local clouds supporting IoT at the edge.
The goal of doors is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry working on edge computing to share their ideas, discuss research/work in progress, and identify new/emerging trends in this important emerging area.

doors topics of interest include:

  • algorithms and techniques for machine learning and AI at the edge
  • cellular infrastructure for edge computing
  • distributed ledger technology and blockchain at the edge
  • edge computing infrastructure and edge-enabled applications
  • edge-based data storage and databases
  • edge-optimized heterogeneous architectures
  • fault-tolerance in edge computing
  • fog computing models and applications
  • geo-distributed analytics and indexing on edge nodes
  • hardware architectures for edge computing and devices
  • innovative applications at the edge
  • interoperability and collaboration between edge and cloud computing
  • monitoring, management, and diagnosis in edge computing
  • processing of IoT data at network edges
  • programming models and toolkits for edge computing
  • resource management and Quality of Service for edge computing
  • security and privacy in edge computing

CALLS FOR PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit full (at least 6 pages) papers through the HotCRP submission system (https://notso.easyscience.education/doors/2026) by December 12, 2025.

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two scholars on the basis of technical quality, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. If necessary, a third, additional reviewer will be involved. The Program Committee will use these reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation at the workshop. The result of the reviewing will be announced to the submitting authors by email, along with reviewer comments, if any.

PUBLICATION

ACM ICPS Logo

Proceedings of the 6th Edge Computing Workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Publication is expected by the workshop date (April 3, 2026), provided all submission requirements and deadlines are met.

Post-proceedings: Authors of selected papers presented at the workshop will have the opportunity to submit extended versions for consideration in the Journal of Edge Computing. The submission deadline for post-proceedings will be in May 2026, with a separate review process.

ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGES (APCs)

Important: doors 2026 follows ACM's Open Access model. Authors are responsible for Article Processing Charges (APCs) unless:

  • Their institution is a member of the ACM Open program (no APC required)
  • Corresponding authors are affiliated with institutions in eligible countries (including Ukraine) - 100% APC waiver provided

Authors must ensure timely payment of applicable APCs directly to ACM. For detailed information, see Open Access Guidance for ICPS Authors.

Primary Requirements

  • 1. Submissions must be: original (not published elsewhere), sound, and presented at the workshop by at least one author.
  • 2. Authors using LLMs must disclose usage with complete transparency (name, version, model, source).
  • 3. Citations must be relevant and avoid superfluous references.
  • 4. Disclose potential conflicts of interest in acknowledgments.
  • 5. Follow COPE publication ethics.
  • 6. Submit LaTeX-generated PDF papers only.
  • 7. All manuscripts undergo research integrity checks via ACM's system.
