Lillehammer – in the heart of Norway – is the ideal holiday destination for anyone in search of amazing adventures in the great outdoors. The town has some of the country's most spectacular scenery right on its doorstep, and Rondane, Jotunheimen and Langsua national parks are all within easy reach.
The NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Collaboration Support Office and the Information Systems Technology (IST) Panel are seeking abstracts for a Research Symposium (RSY) on "Towards the convergence of Edge Computing, Adaptive Networking, and Information Management at the Tactical Edge", to be held on 15-16 October 2024 in Lillehammer, Norway.
The symposium will be held in conjunction with the 54th IST Panel Business Meeting. It is NATO Unclassified and open to representatives of NATO Nations, NATO bodies and STO Enhanced Opportunity Partners (Australia, Japan, Sweden) and Austria, Singapore, Switzerland, Ukraine.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 30 April 2024 (16 April for U.S. authors)
Objectives
This symposium aims to present state-of-the-art updates on the development and application of edge computing from academic and industry professionals. It also seeks to gain more insight into how these technologies can be applied to real NATO operational issues.
It intends to provide a forum for scientists, industry practitioners, and military users to present novel ideas on the foundation, implementation, and application of edge computing at the tactical edge.
Topics:
Submissions must identify one or more topics (from the numbered list in the attached call for papers) and explicitly state the military and NATO coalition relevance and impact of their work.
The list of topics and sub-topics is not exhaustive, but shows typical research issues that fit firmly within the scope of exploring trust and security in the context of the convergence of edge computing, adaptive networking, and information management at the tactical edge. We encourage submissions ranging from concepts, ongoing research & development, actual implementations, and lessons learned from real-world exercises and/or operations.
Abstract submission deadline: 30 April 2024 (16 April for US authors or authors affiliated with US organisations)
All details about the deadlines and paper submission, including format requirements, are provided in the call for papers document located in the grey box on the right-hand side of this page.
Accepted papers should be accompanied by a signed Publication Release Form, available on the NATO STO website; otherwise no material can be published.
