22nd International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking
Jan 5th-8th, 2021 Nara, JapanVirtual Conference
TUTORIAL
January 5, 12:40-14:00 (UTC+9)
Title: Edge Learning for Distributed Big Data Analytics: Theory,
Algorithm
and System Design
Abstract:
This tutorial will focus on the field of Edge Learning. Specifically, learning
paradigms, fundamental theories, and enabling technologies for Edge Learning consist
the
main components of this tutorial. We will first explain the background and
motivation
for AI running at the network edge. Then, we will review the challenge issues
existing
in Edge Learning. Furthermore, we will provide an overview of the overarching
architectures, frameworks, and emerging key technologies for learning performance,
security, privacy, and incentive issues toward training/inference at the network
edge.
Finally, we will discuss future research opportunities on Edge Learning.

22nd International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN 2021)
invites submissions for Tutorial
proposals on all topics listed in the Call for Papers of the conference. Tutorial
proposals should be no more than four
pages and strictly follow the ACM conference style templates. Tutorials are planned to
take place in parallel with the
rest of the tracks for the entire duration of the conference. The length of each
tutorial is supposed to 1.5 hours.
The logistics of the Tutorials will be handled by the ICDCN 2021 organization.
Specifically, ICDCN 2021 will take care
of facilities, catering, and the registration process pertinent to all hosted Tutorials.
At least one organizer of an
accepted Tutorial is required to attend the conference to carry out the presentation.
Each accepted Tutorial will
receive one complementary conference registration. Proposal evaluation criteria include
the following: relevance to ICDCN, scientific quality, perceived interest and
overlap with ICDCN tutorials in the past.
Submission Guidelines
Proposals must include the following sections:
Title and abstract.
Introduction.
Scope, motivation, summary of tutorial.
If the organizers have had a similar tutorial held in the past, a brief
history-description.
Description of target audience and relevance to ICDCN 2021 research topics.
Tutorial outline (sections and an overview of their contents).
Biographies of presenters.
