About this conference
The Twelfth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing is a 4-day conference in Durham, USA on 7–10 Dec 2027. Abstract deadline: 2 Dec 2027. Organizer: acm.
Edge computing is a computing paradigm in which server resources, ranging from credit-card-sized computers to small data centers, are placed close to the sources where data and information are generated. Application and system developers use these resources to enable a new class of latency- and bandwidth-sensitive applications that current cloud architectures cannot support. Edge computing is a counterpoint to the consolidation of computing into massive data centers, which has dominated cloud computing for well over a decade. Terms such as micro data centers, intelligent edges, cloudlets, and fog are often used interchangeably to describe it. As AI moves into the physical world through robots, vehicles, drones, and smart infrastructure, the edge is also becoming a natural home for physical intelligence.
