Special Track: Web Engineering for the Computing Continuum

About:

For updated news and information about this special track, please visit the special track webpage

This track is dedicated to exploring the evolving landscape of web engineering within the computing continuum, encompassing cloud, edge, and fog computing paradigms. As digital services and applications become increasingly pervasive, the seamless integration across this continuum becomes vital for delivering responsive, efficient, and context-aware web solutions. This track aims to delve into the challenges and innovations in designing, deploying, and managing web applications that leverage the distributed nature of computing resources. Topics of interest include but are not limited to distributed architectures, decentralized data processing, latency optimization, resource allocation, and the interplay between cloud services and edge computing in web engineering. Contributions are encouraged from both theoretical and practical perspectives, including case studies, architectural frameworks, performance evaluations, and best practices in web engineering for the computing continuum. This track seeks to provide insights into how web engineering can adapt to and benefit from the distributed computing landscape, offering scalable, resilient, and adaptable web applications across various domains.
