Nowadays, due to the advancement of the Internet, several emerging areas (e.g., cyber-physical systems, sensors, healthcare, and the Internet of Things) have become much more popular. These geographically dispersed devices are connected to a network. Exchanging data through these networks faces several issues such as network breakdown with high latency rate, security, and privacy of data, etc. Due to the increased complexity of such networks, edge computing, and advanced cryptographic technologies can play an important role and provide an optimized solution to build a secure and privacy-preserving network. Because most standard encryption algorithms are well suited for the desktop environment, many are not suited to constrained devices such as IoT. Therefore, we also need a lightweight advanced cryptographic solution to secure the data.

The key objective of the workshop theme is to encompass the following issues:

To understand the importance of green hardware and software solutions in the next generation of consumer electronics, and their role in energy management and e-waste reduction.
To explore the potential of Distributed and Resilient Machine Learning (DRML) approaches in providing trustworthy, scalable, and energy-efficient solutions for Edge-Cloud computing
To discuss the challenges and opportunities in developing distributed green applications and software solutions that meet organizations' requirements while promoting energy efficiency.
To investigate methods for ensuring data integrity, security, and resilience in green consumer electronics systems, including protection against malicious attacks and breaches.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to discuss and explore innovative solutions that leverage Distributed and Resilient Machine Learning (DRML) approaches to achieve data integrity, security, and reliability, without compromising the consumer experience.

Submission Instructions

Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed 8 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference attendees.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers determined to be under active review elsewhere will be rejected without review. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding the length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the conference chairs for more information. The proceedings will be published through the IEEE Press, USA, and will be made available online through the IEEE and ACM Digital Libraries.
