Special Issue on Cloud Continuum Submission Date: 2025-08-30 Motivation and Scope
Cloud computing has become a common commodity with many different providers and solutions. Several new architectural models are being developed and applied to ensure scalability, quality of service, and resilience. The models focus both on the providers, optimizing the use of their infrastructure, and on the users' side, optimizing the response times and/or costs. This scenario is becoming more complex with the possibility of having computing power close to the users on edge/fog models. All this scenario can be seen as the Cloud Continuum.
There are already some conferences that have the Cloud Continuum in their call-for-papers. However, only some of them have explicitly focused on the applications. We aim to attract a broader range of papers, from software engineering to High-Performance Computing applications. All of them will be discussed in the Cloud Continuum scenario.
The following list includes some of the major topics for this special issue:
Energy Efficiency
AI-powered Services
Security
IoT Applications
