<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);">The edge-cloud continuum is set to revolutionize service deployment and management. With the advent of advanced technologies such as WebAssembly, it is possible to run services
efficiently across all devices, machines, and operating systems with low startup latency, minimal runtime overhead, and high levels of isolation. As a result, these modern technologies are revolutionizing all layers of the cloud-edge continuum, from serverless
functions in the cloud, over in-network execution, and edge computing, to true IoT devices and micro-controllers. The WACE Workshop will address critical technical issues at the intersection of modern technologies such as WebAssembly and the cloud-edge continuum.</span></p>
