5th International Workshop on Big data driven Edge Cloud Services (BECS 2025)
Webpage: BECS2025

Edge clouds are emerging as a pivotal computing infrastructure, especially with the advancements in communication technologies like 5G and Web of Things (WoT) infrastructures. They play a significant role in collecting and processing big data efficiently, particularly in smart cities and smart factories. In such environments, the provision of real-time Web services for various data types becomes imperative. Additionally, the creation of a dependable framework for developing big data service applications is crucial. The upcoming fifth edition of the BECS workshop aims to offer a platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange experiences and present ongoing work on delivering enhanced Web services by leveraging big data in edge cloud environments.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Web services in edge clouds
  • Web of things in edge clouds
  • AI in Edge Computing (Edge AI)
  • Deep learning models for the edge
  • Dependable and highly usable big data platforms
  • Distributed data collection, analysis, and prediction
  • Big knowledge graphs for distributed edge cloud environments
  • Modeling and mashup of edge cloud services
  • Microservice architecture for edge cloud environments
  • Edge-cloud interaction and collaboration

Organization:

  • In-Young Ko, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea
  • Michael Mrissa, InnoRenew CoE & University of Primorska, Slovenia
  • Juan Manuel Murillo, University of Extremadura & COMPUTAEX Foundation, Spain
  • Abhishek Srivastava, Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India

Important Dates (AoE):

  • Submission deadline: April 19, 2025
  • Notification of acceptance: May 11, 2025
  • Camera-ready: July 30, 2025

Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit full papers (maximum length of 12 pages, including all references and figures) or short/demo papers (maximum length of 6 pages, including all references and figures). Papers should be formatted according to Springer’s formatting guidelines.

Accepted papers will be included in the post-workshop proceedings to appear in Springer’s CCIS series. A few high-quality submissions will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to a special issue of the Journal of Web Engineering (indexed in SCIE, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore).

For each accepted paper, at least one author must attend the workshop and present the paper. Registration is subject to the terms and conditions of ICWE.

3rd International Workshop on the Semantic WEb of EveryThing (SWEET 2025)

Webpage: SWEET2025

The diffusion of Web of Things (WoT) technologies, components and platforms is probably the most significant case history for that. Nevertheless, current proposals often have limited flexibility, particularly due to a lack of interoperability in information management. The prevalence of over-engineered architectures and application-specific tools make difficult the development of extensible solutions and services. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformative potential to improve the state of the art, by endowing intelligent agents embodied in ubiquitous objects with autonomic abilities to manipulate information resources enriched with explicit semantics. However, this requires facing on significant technical challenges, as AI paradigms should be revised and adapted to very resource-constrained devices and to decentralized coordination in pervasive computing environments.

The third edition of the SWEET International Workshop will focus on integrating, optimizing and exploiting artificial intelligence in WoT and pervasive computing scenarios. This will help pushing the Web Engineering boundary toward a Web of Smart Things, and particularly toward the Semantic Web of Things, where information is endowed with machine-understandable descriptions and devices provide adaptive capabilities for information discovery, reasoning, learning, argumentation, planning and coordination.

According to the ICWE aims and goals, the main research issues related to the workshop topics can be summarized referring to the following problems:

  • How can we integrate the Web of Things with Semantic Web technologies and tools?
  • How can we use ontologies and semantic annotations to enhance real world pervasive devices, applications and services?
  • How can we exploit reasoning and planning in Web of Things scenarios?
  • How can we integrate machine learning efficiently in pervasive large-scale scenarios with high volumes of data?
  • What IoT technologies are able to support the Semantic Web of Everything evolution?

Organisation:

  • Filippo Gramegna, Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy
  • Saverio Ieva, Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy
  • Giuseppe Loseto, LUM “Giuseppe Degennaro” University, Italy
  • Agnese Pinto, Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy

Important Dates (AoE):

  • Submission Deadline: April 25, 2025
  • Author Notification: May 12, 2025
  • Camera-ready Deadline: July 30, 2025

Paper Length & Format. Papers must be formatted according to the information for Springer LNCS authors and submitted in PDF format. Papers must not be under review elsewhere while under consideration for SWEET 2025, nor may have been already previously published elsewhere. Paper length must not exceed 12 pages. Manuscripts not submitted in the requested format or having more than 12 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected.

Submission. The submission processes will be managed by easychair.org. If you have used this system before, you can use the same username and password. If this is your first time using EasyChair, you will need to register for an account by clicking “I have no EasyChair account” button. Upon completion of registration, you will get a notification email from the system and you are ready for submitting your paper. You can upload the paper to the system by the submission due date.

Publication. All accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentations and will be published as part of ICWE 2025 dedicated post-workshop proceedings volume to appear in Springer’s LNCS series. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and attend the conference to present the work.

The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be submitted after the workshop so authors will have the opportunity to incorporate comments and suggestions received during the event
