<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">INTRODUCTION </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invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not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" moz-do-not-send="true">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: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=2025ieeeservices" moz-do-not-send="true">https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=2025ieeeservices</a>,
