### Background ###

Cloud computing, virtualization and virtualized (eScience) applications have been generating substantial interest in the community for more than a 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, exemplified with Fog Computing and Mobile Cloud Computing, the interest in these developments is 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.

Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Autonomic cloud computing

- Big data / complex event processing in the cloud-edge hierarchy

- Business models for cloud, fog, and edge computing

- Cloud, fog, and edge APIs

- Cloud, fog, and edge computing environments

- Cloud, fog, and edge data management

- Cloud, fog, and edge load balancing

- Cloud, fog, and edge scalable monitoring

- Cloud, fog, and edge (micro)services orchestration

- Cloud, fog, and edge scheduling

- Computing Continuum – IoT/Smart Cities integration

- Data center management

- Green cloud computing and energy consumption optimization

- Environmental impacts of Clouds

- Hybrid clouds

- Management of virtual slices and virtualized hardware resources

- Mobile clouds and mobile edge computing

- Multi-cloud/Inter-clouds

- Social clouds

- Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud access

- Performance modeling & evaluation

- Policy-driven service/resource life-cycle management

- QoS/QoE management

- Security and privacy in the cloud-edge hierarchy

- Self-distributed systems in the cloud-edge hierarchy

- Scientific workflows management and optimization



### Important Dates ###

Paper submission due: 20 August, 2025

Notification to authors: 07 October, 2025

Camera-ready papers due: 20 October, 2025

Workshop date: 01-04 December 2025



### Submission Guidelines ###

The CloudAM workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Manuscripts are submitted in PDF format and should not exceed 6 pages single-spaced double-column, using the ACM format. Additional pages might be purchased upon the approval of the proceedings chair.

Submission Link on Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cloudam2025

Submission is double-blind. This means that author information shouldn’t be indicated in any part of the submission including acknowledgements, citations, discussion of related work, etc. 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.
