The 2nd International Workshop on

Edge and Mobile Foundation Models (EdgeFM 2025)

Co-located with MobiCom 2025, HongKong, China | Nov 4-8, 2025

Call for Paper

The workshop welcomes contributions dealing with all facets of edge foundation models, including system aspects, theoretical studies, algorithm and hardware design, as well as measurements, ethicality, humanity, and sustainability. We are particularly looking for papers reporting on experimental results of deployed systems, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, and innovative applications. We welcome in particular also contributions from interdisciplinary teams to present algorithm-system-hardware co-design and co-optimizations of large foundation models on edge, as well as applications of edge foundation models to environment, cities, health, and other domains.
