Call for Papers
Special Session on Trustworthy and Intelligent Edge of Things (TIEoT) for Secure and Reliable Applications (in conjunction with the 12th IEEE WF-IoT 2026)
Aims and Scope
The Trustworthy Intelligent Edge of Things (TIEoT) is a paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) that offsets the workload of machine learning (ML) models and Large Language models (LLM) and security mechanisms to the edge instead of end devices. TIEoT is a new IoT approach that uses ML models and security mechanisms at the edge instead of end devices. It provides AI-driven security-extension implementation for Internet services and applications close to end users. TIEoT uses data-driven TinyML and TinyLLM models to learn patterns and identify normal and abnormal ones, which improves security. It also enables AI-enabled networking operations and AI-driven Internet applications and services provisioning with security extensions. The hardware and operations are managed by TinyML-based frameworks, and TinyLLM models control the allocation of resources and technologies.
The security aspect in TIEoT plays a great role in maintaining secure and privacy-protected operations with applications or services data. The detection of potential threats and attacks that might affect the operations and the performance of offered applications and services should be achieved efficiently. This special session invites prospective authors from academia and industry to submit original papers on topics that help in the wide employment of TIEoT. Such topics include, but are not limited to: * Network and protocol architectures for TIEoT.
5G-6G-based communication architectures for TIEoT.
Security architectures for secure data transfer and processing.
AI-based anomalies and threats detection.
TinyML and TinyLLM for secure TIEoT.
Privacy-preserved architectures in TIEoT.
Computing architectures for TIEoT.
Data management architectures.
Trust management techniques.
Trustworthy communication models of TIEoT devices.
Resource allocation and management in networked TIEoT systems.
Performance analysis of IoT applications and services provisioning.
