FastContinuum 2023 is a workshop of the 14th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering 2023 (https://icpe2023.spec.org/).

Nowadays, cloud computing is widely used by industry with an estimate of the worldwide cloud market of about 940 USD billion with a compound annual growth rate of about 16%. Cloud computing provides, among others, the capacity to run the backend of web applications, or train artificial intelligence applications, or run big data analytics. However, the accelerated migration towards mobile computing and the Internet of Things, where a huge amount of data is generated by widespread end-devices, is determining the rise of the computing continuum paradigm, where resources are distributed among devices with highly heterogeneous capacities. This promises reduced latency and higher throughput thanks to local processing. However, in reality, there are still many open challenges concerning the fast development, testing, and operation of computing continuum software, especially when we must provide specific performance guarantees in the end-to-end application execution. Indeed, computing continua are inherently fragmented, IoT/edge devices are highly heterogeneous providing different computing capabilities but also introducing proprietary development, deployment, and operation frameworks. In this context, dominating the complexity of multiple coexisting frameworks, as well as managing component placement and resource allocation, become crucial to orchestrate at best the continuum of resources.
The goal of the FastContinuum workshop is to foster discussion and collaboration among researchers from cloud/edge/fog/computing continuum and performance analysis communities, to share the relevant topics and results of the current approaches. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being considered in another forum. We solicit full papers (max. 8 pages) as well as short and demo papers (max. 5 pages). Short papers can include reports about research activities not mature enough for a full paper as well as new ideas and vision papers. All submissions must conform to the standard ACM format for conference proceedings. More specifically, the double-column formats have to be used for all paper submissions. Each paper submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee.
Papers can be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=icpe2023, FastContinuum 2023workshop track.
