Introduction
With the rapid growth in computing and communications technology, the past
decade has witnessed a proliferation of powerful parallel and distributed
systems and an ever increasing demand for practice of high performance

Future Generation Computer Systems
Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum
The full call for papers is available on the official FGCS website:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems/ab…
==============================================
Motivation and Scope
=======================
The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and
dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the
execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance,
availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other
non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming the
fragmentation of IoT-edge-cloud resources and their segregation in tiers,
enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a
continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud.
By distributing resources all around, the emerging Compute Continuum
paradigm supports the execution of data-intensive applications as close as
possible to data sources and end users. Besides consolidated vertical and
horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed
adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure
components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific
hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of
latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth
consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of
novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All
of this should be achievable by application developers without having to
worry about how and where the developed application components will be
executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute
Continuum, autonomous, proactive, and infrastructure-aware management is
desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches
that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and
artificial intelligence methods.
This special issue aims to investigate and gather research contributions on
the emerging Compute Continuum, seeking solutions for running distributed
applications while efficiently managing heterogeneous and widespread
computing resources.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Scalable architectures and systems for the Compute Continuum;
- System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration;
- Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application
deployment in the - Compute Continuum;
- Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum;
- Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis;
- Compute Continuum as a service;
- Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum;
- AI in the Compute Continuum;
- Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices,
serverless);
- Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the
Compute Continuum;
- Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum;
- Prototypes and real-life experiments involving the Compute Continuum;
- Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the
Compute Continuum.
