<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">### Background ###<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Cloud computing, virtualization and virtualized (eScience) applications have been generating substantial interest in the community for more than a decade, and this interest enabled the development
of several architectures, techniques, and mechanisms for cloud and edge computing. With the actual deployment of edge computing infrastructures, exemplified with Fog Computing and Mobile Cloud Computing, the interest in these developments is currently still
prominent. 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>
