ESWEEK Tutorial

The final version of Fog Computing tutorials was presented at the Virtual Embedded Systems Week Conference on October 7th, 2021. The tutorial presents novel architectures, hardware and software platforms, applications, and data-driven techniques for enabling fault tolerance in Industrial IoT and Fog Computing systems. It comprises theoretical and hands-on components with a focus on fault tolerance. The tutorial details are as follows: Fog Computing: Industrial Use Cases and Open Issues…

Forskarfredag

Forskarfredag is a Swedish equivalent of European Researchers’ Night. ESRs from MDH prepared a presentation covering thier research topics and presented their research to the audience. In the talk they discussed about the spread of IoT devices, cloud computing and novel edge and fog computing approaches. They also motivated their talk with some interesting cutting edge applications that can benefit from the paradigm. More info is avialable via www.forskarfredag.se

FORA Training School 3

FORA Training School 3 (TS3) held virtuality from June 15th to June 19th, 2020. TS3 was initially planned to be held in Mälardalen University (MDH) in Västerås, Sweden as a summer school, which was canceled due to COVID 19 pandemic. This training school has consisted of four modules focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship, optimization techniques, deep learning, and visual science communication. The modules were followed by hands-on exercises. Overall, twenty-six…

Fog-IoT 2020 Workshop

The second Workshop on Fog Computing and the IoT (Fog-IoT) was held on April 21st in Sydney, Australia. It was co-located with CPS-IoT Week 2020.  The workshop was organized by FORA and co-chaired by Dr. Anton Cervin and Prof. Yang Yang.  The workshop was held partly virtual, due to the COVID19 travel restrictions More details are available from here.

FORA Project Meeting at TU Wien

On November 15th, the FORA team met on the premises of TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, in order to discuss the current progress of the training network and to lay the foundations for the upcoming deliverables.  Especially, the three core use cases of FORA, which will take place at ABB, TTTech, and Danfoss, were presented in detail. Afterwards, Bahram Zarrin (DTU) presented an approach to integrate the different parts of the…

FORA AADL Workshop

  The FORA AADL Workshop, in collaboration with the Institute of Information Systems Engineering of TU Wien, took place December 11-13, 2019, at the Distributed Systems Group of TU Wien, Austria.  The FORA AADL Workshop was a three-day event, organized by Bahram Zarrin (DTU), with focus on the introduction of the AADL in use cases related to fog computing and industrial applications. During the course of this event, the participants had…

European Researcher’s Night in Vienna

Eurpean Researcher’s Night is a yearly Europe-wide event providing an excellent opportunity for researchers to promote their profession to a wide audience. Euroean Researcher’s Night is similar to event, e.g., beSCIENCEd, Austria; ForskarFredag, Sweden; Kaiserslautern Science Night; Science Day, a Danish national science festival. In 2019, European Researcher’s Night took was held on September 2019 at the University of Applied Arts in Wien, Austria. FORA ESR, Jan Ruh, has presented…

EDGECOM 2019

At the end of June 2019, Jia attended EDGECOM 2019 in Paris, presented the paper “Distributed Active Learning Strategies on Edge Computing”. The core idea of the paper is to present a possible solution tailored for Fog Platform, which intelligently decomposed the computation task between Fog Node and edge Devices. Doing so, the user privacy concern and the unbearable latency can be addressed.

Future of Information and Communication Conference (FICC)

In March 2019, Cosmin attended Future of Information and Communication Conference (FICC) in San Francisco to present his paper “Latency-Aware Distributed Resource Provisioning for Deploying IoT Applications at the Edge of the Network”. His paper motivates the need for decentralized resource management techniques in Fog Computing and discusses its research challenges. In July 2019, Cosmin attended IEEE World Congress on Services in Milan, where he presented his paper “Decentralized Resource…
