The workshop on Management of Cloud and Smart city systems (MoCS) started following the “cloud” revolution about 14 years ago. MoCS 2025, in its 15th edition, is organized in association with the 29th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (IEEE ISCC 2025).
ISCC takes place annually, usually in the Mediterranean region, in locations such as Egypt, Cyprus, Tunisia, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, Brazil, Spain and France. In 2025, the Symposium will be held in Bologna, Italy, from the 2nd to the 5th July 2025. For more information about the main conference please visit: ISCC 2025.
The focus of MoCS 2025 is in the convergence of distributed clouds, cognitive clouds, digital twins and privacy-aware applications for complex scenarios like smart cities and learning-driven approaches for urban planning. The workshop aims at disseminating results on both theoretical and applicative aspects.
The last years have witnessed a permanent change of vision of cloud systems, evolving from a centralized system to a highly distributed environment. Nowadays, the most important stakeholders such as private companies, public agencies, research communities and citizens rely on the cloud for a number of purposes, ranging from sharing hardware infrastructures to software, data, and sensing services.
The services designed for complex scenarios such as smart cities, Agriculture 4.0 and the upcoming Industry 5.0, pave the path for a new era of highly distributed and cognitive clouds. For instance, the complexity of human dynamics in a city can be better analysed by decentralising the infrastructure, analysing how the distributed infrastructure has to be evolved at runtime, integrating and opening the data and sharing the services. The distributed and cognitive cloud paradigm is a key enabling technology, whereby applications and network functions are hosted in the cloud-to-thing continuum, and their placement can evolve depending on the context. Despite such a rapid (re-)evolution of edge-cloud systems, the extremely heterogeneous smart city applications (sensing as a service, crowd sensing, etc.) makes the satisfaction of all the requirements a big challenge. In this context, emergent paradigms like artificial intelligence (AI), privacy-enhancing technologies (PET), cybersecurity, blockchain (BC), and metaverse are key enablers for cloud-to-thing systems to shape the development of autonomic orchestration and networking.

Authors are invited to submit original technical papers for publication in MoCS 2025. Manuscripts should be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, references and appendices.
Authors can find the IEEE double-column conference proceedings template at the following link: https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be included in the ISCC 2023 Proceedings.
Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2025 Proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEEXplore. The IEEE ISCC Proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, dblp and Scopus. This makes the IEEE ISCC Workshops publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas.
