Description & Purpose
Cloud computing, virtualization and virtualized (eScience) applications have been generating substantial interest in the community for more than one decade, and this interest enabled the development of several architectures, techniques, and mechanisms for cloud and edge computing. With the actual deployment of edge computing infrastructures, illustrated by Fog Computing and Mobile Cloud Computing, the interest in these developments is currently still prominent. Cloud and edge infrastructures can work together to fulfill requirements from a variety of applications, composing the so-called Cloud Continuum to the edge. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those clouds are accessed through virtualized wide area networks, where edge/fog devices can act as a first layer of computing capacity closer to the user. Management systems are essential for that and thereby for the future success of the fog-cloud hierarchy. New systems, methods, and approaches for cloud and edge computing, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussed at this workshop.
For the CloudAM 2024 workshop, researchers from Cloud/Fog/Edge and (eScience) Applications communities are encouraged to submit and present original work to be considered for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Cloud and fog computing environments
Cloud and fog service orchestration
Cloud and fog APIs
Cloud and fog data management
Cloud and fog scalable monitoring
Cloud and fog load balancing
Multi-cloud/Inter-clouds
Customer cloud management

Submission is double-blind. The submitted document should not include author information and should not include acknowledgements, citations or discussion of related work that would make the authorship apparent. Submissions containing author identifying information may be subject to rejection without review.
Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to register as author, non-student rate and present the paper in person.
At least one author of each paper must be registered for the conference for the paper to be published in the proceedings. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE and made available online via the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and ACM Digital Library.
Dates
Paper submission due: August 31, 2024 September 27, 2024 (Extended, hard deadline)
Notification of acceptance: October 15, 2024 (Updated)
Final camera-ready papers due: November 10, 2024 (updated - further instructions will be sent to authors by e-mail)
