Modern computing is evolving toward a computing continuum that integrates cloud, high-performance computing (HPC), edge, and IoT technologies to support complex, data-intensive workloads such as simulations combined with analytics and machine learning. These workloads target high-impact domains like autonomous vehicles and smart cities. Each technology contributes distinct strengths. Cloud for scalability and automation, edge for low latency and energy efficiency, HPC for massive processing power, and IoT for real-time data collection and control. Effectively combining these technologies enables organizations to optimize performance, cost, energy use, and innovation.

CompContinuum: Computing Continuum of Cloud, Edge, and IoT Technologies

Monday Jan. 26, 2026 | 14:00 – 17:30 (CET) | room: “Extra 1” – ICE Kraków

In this context, the 4th Workshop on Computing Continuum (CompContinuum’26) aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss challenges, opportunities, and best practices in designing and deploying such integrated systems. The workshop will focus on hardware and architectural needs, software stack evolution, energy and power efficiency aligned with the European Green Deal, and identifying workloads that can best exploit the heterogeneity, elasticity, and dynamic resource provisioning of the computing continuum.
