The 3rd Workshop on Urgent Analytics for the Computing Continuum (QUICK'25) in conjunction with IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing (CCGRID) 2025
May 19 2025, Tromsø, Norway
Deadline for abstract submission (required): Jan 10, 2025 AoE
Deadline for papers: Jan 17, 2025 AoE
===============================================================
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

The 1st workshop on Research Infrastructures for experimenting across the HPC-Cloud-Edge continuum (ContinuumRI)
May 19 2025, Tromsø, Norway
Deadline for abstract submission (required): Jan 10, 2025 AoEDeadline for papers: Feb 28, 2025 AoE
===============================================================
The emergence of new opportunities in AI, networking, edge computing, and IoT creates the potential for new avenues of exploration in science but at the same time challenges our understanding of the role and shape of infrastructure. An effective exploration of the edge-to-cloud continuum requires research infrastructure where those challenges can be investigated, and where new solutions and disruptive ideas can be developed, deployed, tested, and shared. Such infrastructure has to not only support a diversity of hardware configurations, and deployments at scale, as well as deep reconfigurability so that a wide range of experiments can be supported – but also mechanisms and services that will allow the community to share repeatable digital artifacts so that new experiments and results can be easily replicated and help enable further innovation.
This type of research infrastructure (RI) has been implemented in systems like Chameleon (www.chameleoncloud.org), SLICES (www.slices-ri.eu), FABRIC, or the PAWR testbeds (www.pawr.org), many of which address distinct, if overlapping, aspects of this problem. This workshop will provide a forum for the RI designers, engineers, and users to discuss emergent use cases and modes of usage; RI solutions and operations; features that support research in the computing continuum; user interfaces and usability; experimental support for reproducibility; building and sustaining RI user communities; as well as evaluating and sustaining RI.
List of topics of interest:
-
emergent use cases
-
modes of usage (e.g., reproducibility, teaching with testbeds)
-
testbed solutions and features
-
testbed infrastructures for computing continuum research
-
experimental tools favoring reproducibility
-
user interfaces and usability
-
building and sustaining user communities
-
operations (allocations, support, etc.)
-
evaluating the impact of testbeds
-
sustainability of testbeds

The mutual interaction between High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an active area of investigation at all levels of the Computing Continuum and involves experts from several disciplines. On the one hand, AI can provide innovative solutions to optimize codes and improve the HPC infrastructures management; on the other hand, HPC methods and tools can offer the computational support required for training increasingly complex and deep AI models. In any case, both areas are known for being among the most energy-intensive, and particular attention to the environmental sustainability of the proposed solutions is of fundamental importance. Mixed precision algorithms, mathematical transformations for filtering out insignificant information in training process, transfer learning and federated learning approaches are just examples of energy aware techniques in this field.
