ACM/IEEE SEC 2026

Edge Intelligence 2026: The 3rd Workshop on Edge Intelligence

The workshop will be co-located with ACM/IEEE SEC 2026, which will take place in Santa Clara, CA, USA, on October 13-16, 2026.

Call for Papers

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.

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.
