<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">INTRODUCTION </p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">==============</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">As industries
increasingly adopt distributed intelligence, new challenges emerge
in
managing heterogeneous resources, ensuring performance guarantees,
and securing end-to-end application execution. The computing
continuum —a seamless integration of cloud, edge, IoT and, in the
very near future, quantum computers— aims at addressing these
challenges and has revolutionized the way we design, deploy, and
optimize modern applications. </p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">The FastContinuum
workshop invites researchers, industry experts, and practitioners
to
contribute innovative solutions, share experiences, and engage in
discussions on the future of computing beyond conventional cloud
models. This workshop serves as a way for exploring emerging
trends,
methodologies, and frameworks that facilitate intelligent,
adaptive,
and high-performance computing across the continuum.</p>

GUIDELINES</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">======================</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">Authors are invited
to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being
considered
in another forum. We solicit full papers (max. 6 pages) as well as
short and demo papers (max. 4 pages). Short papers can include
reports about research activities not mature enough for a full
paper
as well as new ideas and vision papers. All submissions must
conform
to the standard IEEE template for conference proceedings:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html">https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html</a>. More
specifically, the double-column formats have to be used for all
paper
submissions. Each paper submission will be reviewed by at least
three
members of the program committee. Papers can be submitted via
EasyChair:
