I. Introduction
In recent years, the edge-cloud continuum computing has emerged as a revolutionary paradigm, combining the strengths of edge computing and cloud computing. This approach capitalizes on the vast resource capacity offered by the cloud while harnessing local communication and computation capabilities at the edge. It has been successfully tested in various application domains such as smart cities, cognitive building [2], and Industry 4.0 [15], highlighting its capability of managing the distributed and collective nature of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, thus garnering significant interest from both academic and industrial communities.
