Edge-assisted driving and onboard AI
- Collaborative perception, planning, and decision-making
- Remote driving, teleoperation, and runtime support for onboard AI
- Edge support for mixed-autonomy traffic scenarios
Overview
Workshop focus
Connected and autonomous vehicles increasingly depend on coordinated computation across onboard platforms, roadside infrastructure, wireless access networks, edge servers, and cloud backends. Latency, runtime adaptation, reliability, and safety are therefore central systems problems rather than secondary deployment concerns.
EdgeCAV 2026 invites researchers and practitioners to share new ideas, rigorous studies, deployment lessons, and discussion-oriented perspectives at the intersection of edge computing and intelligent transportation. The workshop aims to sharpen both the research agenda and the practical design choices shaping this area.
Call for Papers
Topics of interest
Mobility-aware systems and scheduling
- Dynamic offloading of perception, prediction, and control workloads
- QoS-aware scheduling across vehicles, roadside units, and edge servers
- Resilience under mobility, handoffs, and intermittent connectivity
Distributed intelligence and adaptation
- Federated and collaborative learning for transportation systems
- Online model adaptation, over-the-air updates, and continuous improvement
- Edge-enabled simulation, testing, and digital twins for CAV platforms
Networking, trust, and deployment
- C-V2X, 5G/6G, and hybrid wireless support for vehicular edge computing
- Security, privacy, reliability, and fault tolerance in edge-CAV ecosystems
- Smart intersections, testbeds, benchmarks, and real-world evaluation
Submission
Instructions for authors
Only electronic PDF submissions will be accepted. Papers should be written in English and prepared so they render cleanly in standard PDF viewers. Submissions must be no longer than 6 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures and tables but excluding references, using 10-point type on 12-point leading in two-column format.
Submitted work must be original and must not be under consideration elsewhere. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings as part of ACM/IEEE SEC 2026, and at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop.
