The 4th International Workshop on Edge Systems, Analytics and Networking (EdgeSys'21), in conjunction with ACM EuroSys 2021, aims to bring together system researchers, data scientists, engineers and practitioners to identify open directions and discuss the latest research ideas and results on edge systems, analytics and networking, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies and use cases. The EdgeSys'21 workshop focuses on systems, analytics and networking aspects, covering system architecture, distributed ML algorithms, decentralized networking, distributed consensus and ledger techniques, edge services and data analysis.

Over the past three years, EdgeSys has been gathering substantial community contributions in edge computing domain - especially with high quality TPC, keynotes, panel and technical papers from US, Europe, and Asia, including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft Research, Intel, IBM, Nokia, Samsung, Toyota, Telefonica, MIT, Berkeley, Columbia, Yale, UCLA, Cambridge, Imperial, EPFL, TU Delft, MPI, TUM, Tsinghua, Peking and Fudan.

The topics include but are not limited to the following:

- System Architecture for Edge Computing
- Serverless and In-network Computing (P4)
- Edge Storage Systems
- Edge-driven Data Analytics
- Distributed Machine Learning for Edge Analytics and Services
- Edge Security and Privacy
- Lightweight Virtualization for Edge Computing
- Distributed Consensus Algorithms and Ledger Technologies
- Infrastructure and Toolkit for Edge Computing and Analytics
- System Performance and Measurement
- Edge Networking and IoT Communications
- (Autonomous) Management of Edge Systems
- TinyML for Edge Systems

Submission Guidelines:
------------
Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues. In particular, innovative, early-stage ideas and preliminary results are welcome. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files, formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper. The length of the paper must be no more than 6 pages in the ACM double-column format (10-pt font), including references and everything. The authors are suggested to use the ACM Master article template. The reviews will be single-blind. The first page must contain an abstract, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), as well as the corresponding contact information. Each submission will receive independent, blind peer reviews from the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. At least one of the authors of every accepted paper must register and present the paper at the workshop.

The program committee will select one paper for the Best Paper Award.

Authors of accepted papers will have the option to fast-track their paper for consideration by the new diamond open-access Journal of Systems Research. This will cause a JSys submission placeholder to be created and the EdgeSys reviews to be forwarded. Authors will then be expected to provide an extended copy of their accepted EdgeSys paper for consideration by the JSys reviewers within 6 months, or their paper will be removed from consideration under the fast-track to JSys. For more information about this process, please contact the JSys Area Editor for Edge Systems, Richard Mortier <richard.mortier at cl.cam.ac.uk<mailto:richard.mortier at cl.cam.ac.uk>>.

Submission deadline: 26 February 2021
Acceptance notification: 26 March 2021
Camera-ready: 5 April 2021
Workshop date: 26 April 2021


Cheers,
Aaron
