<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">we would like to invite you to contribute a paper to the 12th International
<b>Workshop on Cloud and Edge Computing, and Applications Management</b> (CloudAM 2023). The conference will be held in conjunction with the 16th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2023), December 4-7, 2023, Taormina (Messina),
Italy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:107%">Background<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
