### Background ###
Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications
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 and Mobile
Cloud 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.

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
- Security and privacy in the cloud-edge hierarchy
- 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
- 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

Important Dates
Paper submission due: August 10, 2022
Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2022
Final camera-ready papers due: September 30, 2022
Workshop dates: December 6-9, 2022


Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to
another journal or conference. The CloudAM workshop invites authors to
submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages
single-spaced double-column, using IEEE format. Additional pages might
be purchased upon the approval of the proceedings chair.

Submission link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=cloudam2022

Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register for an early full and non-student fee and present the paper.
All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and
proceedings will be published by IEEE and made available online via
the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Digital Library.
