CALL FOR PAPERS

Cloud Computing, which is envisioned to change the IT landscape, is
consumer/delivery model where IT capabilities are offered as services
billed based on usage. Examples of cloud services include, but are not
limited to, IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), PaaS
(Platform-as-a-Service) and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service). The underlying
cloud architecture includes a pool of virtualized compute, storage and
networking resources that can be aggregated and launched as platforms to
run workloads and satisfy their Service-Level Agreement (SLA). Cloud
architectures also include provisions to best guarantee service delivery
for clients and at the same time optimize efficiency of resources of
providers. Examples of provisions include, but are not limited to,
elasticity through up/down scaling of resources to track workload behavior,
extensive monitoring, failure mitigation, and energy optimizations. The two
main technologies enabling clouds are: (i) Virtualization, the foundation
of clouds; and (ii) manageability (autonomics), the command and control of
clouds. CloudComp is intended to bring together researchers, developers,
and industry professionals to discuss recent advances and experiences in
clouds, cloud computing and related ecosystems and business support. The
conference also aims at presenting the recent advances, experiences and
results obtained in the wider area of cloud computing, giving users and
researchers equally a chance to gain better insight into the capabilities
and limitations of current cloud systems.

[Topics]

CloudComp will offer a chance to cloud providers to promote and display
their current systems. To that end, papers are solicited from all cloud
related areas, including, but not limited to:
-Cloud architectures & provisions to optimize providers' environments while
guaranteeing clients' SLAs
-Programming models, applications and middleware suitable for dynamic cloud
environments
-End-to-end techniques for autonomic management of cloud resources
including monitoring, asset management, process automation and others
-Cloud delivery models, models' optimizations and associated architectural
changes
-Cloud economic and billing models
-Green ICT and Clouds - theory, practice and experiences
-Cloud security, privacy and compliance challenges
-Toolkits, frameworks and processes to enable clouds and allow seamless
transitions from traditional IT environments to clouds
-Experiences with existing cloud infrastructure, services and uses
-Novel human interfaces and browsers for accessing clouds
-Interaction of mobile computing, mCommerce and Clouds
-Standardisation activity in Clouds - proposals and experiences
-Experiences on clouds in various vertical sectors (e.g., eScience and
industry), where the concept worked/didnotwork.
-Clouds Adaptability
