Track Chair's Report of CDCGM2019 - Convergence of Distributed Clouds, Grids and their Management WETICE-2019

This track has made signicant contribution to advance the current state of the art in enterprise distributed application management across datacenters, and clouds public or private. A new computing model proposing extensions to the current von Neumann implementation of the Turing machine was contributed by the efforts of several participants in this conference since 2009. Keeping with this tradition, this year a new paper demonstrates theory and practice that pushes the Church-Turing thesis boundaries and demonstrates a novel low-latency and high-performance edge computing solution. In addition, there are nine full papers describing advances in current distributed and cloud computing practices dealing with quality of service, business intelligence, cloud security, Internet of Things, cloud performance and economics.
