DESCRIPTION
=============================================
Cloud computing, virtualization technologies are currently have been generating substantial interest in the community, and it is anticipated that this interest will keep expanding with the emergence of edge computing infrastructures, such as Fog Computing. 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 2019 workshop, researchers from Clouds and Edge computing communities are encouraged to submit and present original work for its 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
• Managing data centers
• Management as a service
• Management of virtual slices
• *aaS Management
• Cloud and fog scheduling
• Hybrid clouds
• Fog and Edge computing
• Cloud surveys and taxonomies
• Social clouds
• Business models for cloud and fog computing.
• Managing cloud services
• Management of virtualized hardware resources
• Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud access
• Performance modeling & evaluation
• QoS/QoE management in the cloud
• Management tools for infrastructure virtualization
• Automated resource slicing
• Policy driven service/resource life-cycle management
• Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure
• Optimization of data center and workload energy consumption
• Green cloud computing
• Scientific workflows on clouds and edge
• Mobile clouds and mobile edge computing
• Big data / complex event processing in the cloud-edge hierarchy
• Autonomic cloud computing
• Cloud Continuum – IoT/Smart Cities integration

The Clouds, Edge, and Applications Management workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages in ACM format. Additional pages might be purchased, in some circumstances, upon the approval of the proceedings chair.
• Electronic submission only (via easychair submission server).
• Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to register for a full conference (non-workshop, non-student) registration rate and present the paper.
• All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be published in UCC's proceedings.
• Selected (extended) papers should be invited to submit to a high-quality Journal special issue.
