In today’s digital landscape, the increase of sensors, IoT devices, and cyber-physical systems across domains such as agriculture, cities, industry, and healthcare continues to accelerate. Advances in communication efficiency drive this growth, compute capabilities, and the emergence of flexible computing paradigms—such as fog, serverless, and cloud-edge continuum architectures. While these innovations enable powerful new applications, they also introduce challenges related to security, deployment models, data management, interoperability, and real-time responsiveness. Furthermore, the integration of AI/ML, robotics, and large-scale computing into these environments demands robust and scalable system design, middleware, and performance-aware management. The CIFS workshop focuses on addressing these challenges and opportunities across the full spectrum of sensor-driven, cloud-native, and intelligent systems. Researchers and practitioners are invited to share contributions—from theoretical models to practical deployments—that advance our understanding of distributed intelligence, secure and efficient computing infrastructure, and utility computing in IoT and cyber-physical environments.
Topics of Interest
We solicit research papers (up to 6p) and technical industry reports (typically 3-6p) on the following topics:Submission Information
Submitted manuscripts must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Manuscripts are submitted in PDF format and may not exceed six (6) ACM-formatted *double-column* pages, including figures, tables, and references. All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer-review process and will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Your submission is subject to a determination that you are not under any sanctions by ACM.
Please note: Starting in 2023, submissions and reviews follow a double-blind model. Please submit without author names/affiliations and without hyperlinks that could reveal your origin or identity.
At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop in person. Additionally, at least one author must register at the full (i.e., non-student) rate. All workshop participants must register under the UCC/BDCAT 2025 conference fee. Please note that acceptance of a workshop paper is conditional on the final decision by UCC/BDCAT organizers regarding whether the workshop will take place.
