| Sumario: | It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Theory and Practice for Integrated Cloud, Fog and Edge Computing Paradigms (TOPIC) 2018 in conjunction with the 37th ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing. This full day workshop aims to bring together practitioners and theoreticians to characterise such cloud, fog, and edge integrated systems, and to explore theoretical underpinning necessary for modelling, designing, analysing and optimising of networks and systems that have heterogeneous connectivity (e.g., intermittent and highly reliable), owned by different owners and operators, for supporting pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Since there is no single organisation can control all of the devices across all networks, we anticipate that there will be strong need for addressing the gap on policy enforcement, billing and access to data, etc. Security and privacy issues will also need tackling due to the need for business secrecy. TOPIC 2018 has accepted five high quality research papers and invited two keynote presentations. These valuable and insightful talks can and will guide us to a better understanding of the future development of Integrated Cloud, Fog and Edge Computing Paradigms.
