20TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON A WORLD OF WIRELESS, MOBILE AND MULTIMEDIA NETWORKS (IEEE WOWMOM 2019)
Workshop on: Edge Computing and Caching in Communication Networks (E3CN)
JUNE 9-12, 2019 - WASHINGTON DC, UNITED STATES

  
Scope of the Workshop
Edge Computing is among the most active research fields today and is an essential technology in the next-generation communication systems. Edge computing deploys cloud functions in edge nodes such as base stations, access points, routers and smart phones, which is a promising expectation to provide low latency, low cost, proximity and high bandwidth network service. However, transforming this expectation into reality requires significant research efforts. This workshop will be devoted to the presentation of pioneering works targeting edge computing in communication networks. Additionally, the increasing demand for massive multimedia services in cellular networks poses great challenges on network capacity and backhaul links.
