Scope
Interconnecting a plethora of data sources, devices, and sensors in the current Internet of Things (IoT)-driven Internet era, has introduced new challenges concerning resource and data management in an efficient, yet trustworthy manner. The Cloud-Edge Orchestration establishes a new paradigm that allows for edge devices (IoT, sensors etc) even in wide scale implementations to exploit the computational and storage capacity of the cloud without trading response times, latency, and bandwidth. 
This workshop aims to shed light on the particular aspects of orchestration that deal with fundamental challenges in the Edge-Cloud continuum such as efficient resource and network bandwidth utilization, microservices deployment, data management, adaptive and automated cross-layer configuration, anomaly detection, and security. Paradigms that concern specific use-case applications, pragmatical evaluation and experimentation, are of special interest for this workshop. We also encourage theoretical contributions, such as ML approaches for resource-constraint environments, distributed learning and optimization. 
The workshop aims to strengthen the research agenda in the field by bringing together industrial and academic stakeholders, developers and research project participants. 

Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Open-source tools and frameworks for large-scale experimentation in edge systems
- Multi-cluster, multi-domain environments and applications
- Use-cases and applications within edge-cloud environments
- IoT/edge-to-cloud for smart cities
- Industrial IoT applications
- Automated configuration and cognitive edge-cloud management
- Anomaly Detection for edge-cloud
- Privacy and context-aware in decentralized learning
- Network communication and optimization across resource-restricted edge environments
- ML/AI-enabled tools and mechanisms for resource allocation, anomaly detection in resource constraint environments
- Security and trustworthiness in edge cloud
- Dynamic scheduling and workload migration 
- Joint orchestration of cross-layer data (network, compute, data resources)
- Energy efficiency aspects in edge-cloud continuum
- Digital twins for vehicular cloud architectures
- Mobility in edge-cloud continuum

Submission Guidelines
Workshop manuscripts should describe original work and should be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format, including tables, figures and references. To download manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings use the following link: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. 
Papers can be submitted directly to EDAS: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=32313&track=124188 
Note that accepted papers up to 6 pages will be published with no additional charge. Exceeding pages will be charged an additional fee. Papers exceeding 7 pages will not be accepted. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only registered and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2024 proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore. The ISCC proceedings have been indexed in the past by ISI, DBLP and Scopus. This makes the ISCC conference one of the publication venues with very high visibility and impact in both Computer and Communications areas.
