===============================================================


The Third Workshop on Urgent Analytics for Distributed Computing
(QUICK'25) aims to provide a platform that addresses distributed
applications that enable important decision-making under time and
quality constraints while maintaining desired confidence. We seek
scientific contributions that leverage the aggregation of
heterogeneous resources along the data path from the Edge to the Cloud
and/or HPC, also known as the Computing Continuum, to support critical
analytics applications. Data-driven dynamic workflows, which combine
knowledge from multiple data sources and integrate it on-demand with
large-scale computational models, are some of the canonical use cases
for this theme.


We are looking for original high-quality research and position papers
on urgent applications, programming models, and resource management
software for the computing continuum. Topics of interest for workshop
submissions include, but are not limited to:


- Algorithms, models and systems considerations in designing urgent
applications in the Computing Continuum

- Programming support for user expectations and constraints in terms
of response time, solution quality, data resolution, cost, energy,
etc.

- Run-time techniques to provide flexible execution models for
computation and communication.

- Resource management frameworks and interfaces supporting scheduling,
resource allocations and application execution for the computing
continuum.

- Use of AI and ML techniques to steer urgency in systems and applications.

- Application Experiences and policy frameworks using computing
continuum infrastructures.

- Autonomic Computing in the Computing Continuum

- Distributed Machine Learning in the Computing Continuum

- Edge Intelligence models and architectures

- Feedback, Control and Observability for the Continuum

Submission Guidelines


Authors are invited to submit papers electronically, through
EasyChair. The papers should be submitted in PDF, using IEEE format
for conference proceedings. Paper length must not exceed 8 pages
(including figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
represent original unpublished research that is not currently under
review for any other conference or journal. Papers determined to be
under active review elsewhere will be rejected without review.
Submissions received after the due date, exceeding the length limit,
or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors
may contact the conference chairs for more information.


Publication


All accepted papers will be published as part of the CCGRIDW
proceedings (CCGrid Workshops proceedings). All previous CCGrid
proceedings have been published by the IEEE and available online
through IEEE Digital Library (EI indexing). Selected papers will also
be invited to submit an extended version to a Special Issue in a Q1
journal.
