"Cloud" is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible infrastructure<br />
(e.g. data storage and computing hardware) which is hidden from users. Cloud<br />
Computing makes data truly mobile and a user can simply access a chosen cloud<br />
with any internet accessible device. In Cloud Computing, IT-related<br />
capabilities are provided as services, accessible without requiring detailed<br />
knowledge of the underlying technology. Thus, many mature technologies are<br />
used as components in Cloud Computing, but still there are many unresolved and<br />
open problems. This conference and workshop series, steered by the Cloud<br />
Computing Association (www.cloudcom.org), aims to bring together researchers<br />
who work on cloud computing and related technologies. Topics include but are<br />
not limited to:<br />
