We are proud to introduce the 1st workshop on Flexible Resource and Application Management on the Edge to researchers, industry stakeholders, academics and PhD students.
Due to sanitary restrictions, the workshop will be held ONLINE
Cloud computing architectures and related paradigms are gaining an ever increasing degree of popularity and interest : they allow customers to “outsource” the management of physical resources by renting a variable amount of resources according to their actual needs, in a pay-per-use fashion.
Cloud and edge infrastructures can work together to fulfill requirements from a variety of applications, composing the so-called Cloud/Edge Continuum. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of different users, whereas Edge resources act as a first layer of computing capacity that is closer to the user, with the purpose of reducing latency and increasing the exploitable portion of network bandwidth.
From a technological perspective, the scalability, interoperability, and efficient (de-)allocation of resources at the edge can enable a whole new set of scenarios. Interactive and time-sensitive services can be extended toward the edge, thereby closing the proximity gap with (potential) users. Data collection can happen within geographically/administratively bounded areas, ensuring compliance with data privacy and data retention policies. Furtherome, real-time data-driven decisions can be promptly taken on the spot, without the need to wait for data to travel to the Cloud and back. Improvement and innovation opportunities like these call for new solutions and theoretical frameworks.
FRAME 2021 aims at bringing together cloud and edge computing experts from academia and industry in order to identify new challenges for the management of resources in cloud-edge infrastructures, as well as to promote this vision toward academia and industry stakeholders.
FRAME proceedings will be published by ACM in the HPDC proceedings companion book and in the ACM Digital Library. Additionally, we are working to organise a Journal Special Issue dedicated to the topics of the workshop in the Springer Journal of Grid Computing. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to the special issue.
- Optimization Techniques for Resources management at the Edge
- Monitoring of Resources and Applications at the Edge
- Efficient management of storage at the Edge
- Lightweight virtualization tools and techniques for Edge devices

- Work-in-Progress / Virtual Posters (maximum 2 pages)
Papers should be formatted in the ACM Proceedings Style and should describe, in English, original work and new ideas that has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. See the ACM Prior Publication Policy for more details.
Proofs and additional material exceeding space constraints can be put into an appendix to be read at the reviewers' discretion. Proofs added into appendix will not be published in the proceedings. WIP/Virtual poster submissions are encouraged to additionally submit a draft of the slides/poster they are planning to present.
Each submitted paper will undergo a formal peer review process by at least 3 Program Committee members. Reviewing will be single blind.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the workshop by the early date (TBD) and present the paper.
FRAME proceedings will appear in the HPDC proceedings and in the ACM DL. A Journal Special Issue in the Springer Journal of Grid Computing is also being organized. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to the special issue.

Keynotes
Keynote 1: Filling the gap between scientific research on Artificial Intelligence and Industry 4.0 needs
Speaker: Daniele Mazzei, University of Pisa , daniele.mazzei@unipi.it
Keynote Abstract: AI improves the data acquisition and analysis typical of the 4.0 paradigm, leading to the optimization of the industrial processes through fast, lightweight and well-performing algorithms. The academic research efforts on AI have followed a trend of development of complex and resource-intensive algorithms that require cloud-centric architectures while the industrial architectures for data acquisition are in most cases distributed, fragmented and resource-constrained. Recent researches have demonstrated the need of moving toward a decentralized use of AI where data analysis algorithms are executed directly on the machine side (``on the edge''). As this is the future, it becomes evident that a new generation of AI and ML experts, able to adapt these technologies to the industrial needs and to foster their role as the key players of the 4th industrial revolution, is needed. The talk will present the activities of the PLANET4 project that aims at filling the gap between scientific research on AI and its industrial application by designing an innovative blended course.
Keynote 2: Socio-Economic Aspects of Information Sharing in the Cybersecurity Ecosystem
Speaker: Jörn Altmann, Seoul National University, jorn.altmann@acm.org
Keynote Abstract: The cybersecurity ecosystem, which is essential for the adoption of cloud and edge computing, is changing as organizations started sharing cybersecurity information. This information, which includes threat data, countermeasures, and security breaches from a large number of computing devices and computing providers, allows for proactive defense actions against sophisticated intrusion attempts. However, there are two shortcomings. First, it is not clear what the value creation and value distribution among the stakeholders in the ecosystem is. Second, the ecosystem comprises already many cybersecurity providers, making it difficult for end-users (customers) to decide which service is the most suitable according to their requirements. To address these shortcomings, this talk defines, based on the constructs of the cybersecurity ecosystem, an economic model for evaluating the value creation and distribution among the stakeholders. In addition to this, a comprehensive set of key performance indicators for ranking cybersecurity providers are defined and, then, weighted based on the requirements of customers. Our initial results show that this approach helps improving the quality of services and helps aligning the values (i.e., utilities and profits) of stakeholders in the ecosystem and, with this, making the ecosystem more sustainable.
