adding anticipated special issue

We will use this repository to write our portion / the introduction
and as a reference for the start of the converged computing
effort! There will eventually be a site here, for now it is
just a README with some light metadata and a TBA doi

+# Converged Computing 
+
+> A Best-of-Both-Worlds of HPC and Cloud
+
+This is a [CiSE Special Issue Proposal](https://www.authorea.com/users/34995/articles/430859-cise-guest-editors-guide) and 
+the repository where we will write and document our whitepaper to introduce it. 
+
+## Important Dates
+
+- Anticipated for 2023-2023
+
+## Overview
+
+Major trends have brought the cloud and high performance computing (HPC) communities closer together: the maturation of cloud technologies has shifted focus toward running workloads efficiently, and composite scientific workflows and resource heterogeneity and dynamism have revealed the limitations of traditional HPC resource and workflow management. It has become clear that the initially disparate communities have much to benefit in working together. This special issue aims to bridge the gap between HPC and cloud to discuss work in converged computing – the collaborative space between these traditionally separate communities – to develop novel technologies and applications. These hybrid technologies might span the gamut from automation, workflows, containerization, to software development and deployment and testing. This is a timely topic as collaborative work is happening to a greater degree that combines approaches from high performance computing with cloud-native computing.
