Computing Continuum

The advent of the Internet of Things has increased the interest in automating mission-critical processes from domains such as smart cities. These applications' stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements motivate their deployment through the Cloud-IoT Continuum, which requires solving the NP-hard problem of placing the application's services onto the infrastructure's devices. Moreover, as the infrastructure and application change over time, the placement needs to continuously adapt to these changes to maintain an acceptable QoS.
