The Second Workshop on Edge Intelligence in conjunction with ACM SEC 2025, Washington, D.C., USA, [December 3--6, 2025]

Edge intelligence is an emerging paradigm that brings AI model training and deployment closer to data sources—whether on devices, embedded systems, or edge computing nodes. By processing data locally, it reduces latency, energy consumption, and bandwidth demands while enhancing privacy and security through minimized data transmission. However, model composition and resource constraints are key challenges with respect to edge intelligence. Yet, edge intelligence is rapidly gaining attention for its transformative potential across IoT, autonomous systems, healthcare, smart cities, and precision agriculture. By enabling real-time analytics, autonomous decision-making, and efficient edge-cloud collaboration, it offers a compelling alternative to centralized cloud-dependent approaches.


This workshop invites contributions that explore the latest advances, challenges, and applications in edge intelligence, pushing the boundaries of what is possible at the network edge.

Topics of interests

We solicit novel research contributions to the broad area of edge intelligence, such as (but not limited to):
  • Cloud-edge collaborative training and inference
  • Foundation models at the edge
  • Gen AI for edge computing and edge computing for Gen AI
  • LLM-driven edge network/compute policy management/optimization
  • Federated learning via edge systems
  • Edge-assisted artificial intelligence
  • Efficient (deep) learning on edge devices
  • Efficient (distributed) inference on end devices
  • Lightweight container orchestration for domain-specific AI
  • Applications of edge AI in extended reality (XR), cyber-physical systems (CPS), automation, healthcare, etc.

Instructions for Authors

Only electronic submissions in PDF will be accepted. Submitted papers must be written in English and must be rendered without error using standard PDF viewing tools. Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 single-spaced 8.5'' x 11''; pages, including figures and tables, but excluding references, and using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading, two-column format, Times Roman, or a similar font, within a text block 7.14'' wide x 9.22'' deep. IEEE Standard template for Latex and Word meet these specifications and can be found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers not meeting these criteria will be rejected without review, and no deadline extensions will be granted for reformatting. Pages should be numbered, and figures and tables should be legible in black and white, without requiring magnification.
