Hello.
[tl;dr] I'm looking for co-author(s) to come up with "Edge clouds data
consistency requirements and challenges" a position paper [0] (papers
submitting deadline is Nov 8).
The problem scope is synchronizing control plane and/or
deployments-specific data (not necessary limited to OpenStack) across
remote Edges and central Edge and management site(s). Including the same
aspects for overclouds and undercloud(s), in terms of TripleO; and other
deployment tools of your choice.
Another problem is to not go into different solutions for Edge
deployments management and control planes of edges. And for tenants as
well, if we think of tenants also doing Edge deployments based on Edge
Data Replication as a Service, say for Kubernetes/OpenShift on top of
OpenStack.
So the paper should name the outstanding problems, define data
consistency requirements and pose possible solutions for synchronization
and conflicts resolving. Having maximum autonomy cases supported for
isolated sites, with a capability to eventually catch up its distributed
state. Like global database [1], or something different perhaps (see
causal-real-time consistency model [2],[3]), or even using git. And
probably more than that?.. (looking for ideas)
See also the "check" list in-line, which I think also meets the data
consistency topics well - it would be always nice to have some
theoretical foundations at hand, when repairing some
1000-edges-spread-off and fully broken global database, by hand :)
PS. I must admit I have yet any experience with those IEEE et al
academic things and looking for someone who has it, to team and
co-author that positioning paper by. That's as a start, then we can
think of presenting it and expanding into work items for OpenStack Edge
WG and future development plans.

Call for Contributions
----------------------
Fog computing is the extension of cloud computing into its edge and
the physical world to meet the data volume and decision velocity
requirements in many emerging applications, such as augmented and
virtual realities (AR/VR), cyber-physical systems (CPS), intelligent
and autonomous systems, and mission-critical systems. The boundary
between centralized, powerful computing cloud and massively
distributed, Internet connected sensors, actuators, and things is
blurred in this new computing paradigm.
The ICFC 2019 technical program will feature tutorials, workshops, and
research paper sessions. We solicit high-quality contributions in the
above categories. Details of submission is available on the conference
Web site. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* System architecture for fog computing
(check)
* Coordination between cloud, fog, and sensing/actuation endpoints
* Connectivity, storage, and computation in the edge
* Data processing and management for fog computing
(check)
* Efficient and embedded AI in the fog
* System and network manageability
* Middleware and coordination platforms
* Power, energy, and resource management
* Device and hardware support for fog computing
* Programming models, abstractions, and software engineering for fog
computing
(check)
* Security, privacy, and ethics issues related to fog computing
* Theoretical foundations and formal methods for fog computing systems
(check)
* Applications and experiences
