15th International Workshop
Cloud and Edge Computing, and Applications Management
Managing intelligent and autonomous systems across the computing continuum
Co-located with the 19th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing — UCC 2026
About CloudAM
Managing the cloud–edge continuum
Cloud computing, virtualization, and virtualized applications have generated substantial interest for more than a decade, enabling the development of new architectures, techniques, and mechanisms for cloud and edge computing.
With the deployment of edge infrastructures—including fog computing, mobile edge computing, and resource-constrained intelligent devices—cloud and edge platforms increasingly work together as a computing continuum. These systems must support diverse users and applications while meeting performance, dependability, energy, privacy, and quality-of-service requirements.
CloudAM 2026 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss new systems, methods, and approaches for managing cloud, edge, fog, and continuum infrastructures and applications. We welcome original work that advances autonomic, intelligent, sustainable, secure, and distributed management across the continuum.
Call for Papers
