CALL FOR PAPERS<br> *****************<br><br>--------<br>Note: Those who submit their current version of paper by the deadline will be given 1 more week<br>to upload updated version. The latest version will be reviewed by the conference Program Committee.<br>
--------<br><br><br>Introduction:<br>-------------<br><br>Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of<br>services that are commoditized and delivered in a manner<br>similar to traditional utilities such as water, electricity,<br>
gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services<br>based on their requirements without regard to where the<br>services are hosted or how they are delivered. Several<br>computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility<br>
computing vision and these include Grid computing, and more<br>recently Cloud computing.<br><br>Cloud computing has recently emerged as one of the buzzwords<br>in the ICT industry. Several IT vendors are promising to<br>
offer storage, application and computation hosting services,<br>and provide coverage in several continents, offering<br>Service-Level Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime<br>promises for their services. While these "clouds" are the<br>
natural evolution of traditional clusters and data centres,<br>they are distinguished by following a "utility" pricing model<br>where customers are charged based on their utilisation of<br>computational resources, storage and transfer of data.<br>
These emerging services have reduced the cost of computation,<br>application hosting and content storage and delivery by<br>several orders of magnitude, however there is significant<br>complexity involved in ensuring applications, services and<br>
data can scale when needed to ensure consistent and reliable<br>operation under peak loads.<br><br>To provide a dedicated forum for sharing recent R&D advances<br>and industrial innovations in "Utility Computing" area, we<br>
have initiated this new conference series "International<br>Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing". This conference<br>series has emerged out of previous successful Cloud computing<br>events (Cloud 2009 held in Shanghai, China; Cloud 2010 held<br>
in Melbourne, Australia; and UCC 2010 held in Chennai,<br>India). UCC 2011, as 4th event in the series, focuses on<br>principles, paradigms, and applications of "Utility<br>computing" and its practical realisation in industry<br>
especially in the form of Cloud Computing.<br><br>Conference Scope:<br>-----------------<br><br>Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):<br>- Principles of Utility Computing<br>- Architectural Models for Utility Computing<br>
- *aaS: Infrastructure, Platform, Software, Storage as a Service<br>- Novel architectural models for cloud computing<br>- Novel applications of cloud computing, including games and social networks<br>- Novel cloud programming models<br>
- Innovative cloud pricing models<br>- Innovative cloud service models<br>- Support for scalable and elastic cloud services<br>- New parallel / concurrent programming models for cloud computing<br>- Cloud support for mobile applications and Content Delivery Networks<br>
- Data Security, Privacy, and Jurisdiction in the Cloud<br>- Portability of applications and data between different cloud providers<br>- Cloud-related virtualization issues<br>- Deployment, maintenance, and management of cloud resources and services<br>
- (Multi-)Cloud resource brokering and scheduling<br>- (Multi-)Cloud capacity planning<br>- Reliability of applications and services running on the cloud<br>- Interoperability between different Utility Computing Platforms including Grids, and Clouds<br>
- Performance monitoring for cloud applications<br>- Cloud use case studies<br>- Scientific computing in the cloud<br>- Business computing in the cloud<br>- Social computing in the cloud<br><br>Best Paper Award:<br>-----------------<br>
<br>A best paper award sponsored by Manjrasoft Pty. Ltd,<br>Australia will be presented to a paper receiving the highest<br>quality rating from the Program Committee and external<br>reviewers. In addition, a special issue in a high quality<br>
international journal will be organised for selected best<br>papers.<br><br>Journal Special Issue:<br>-----------------------<br><br>Highly rated Top 6 papers from the UCC 2011 conference will<br>be selected for publication in a special issue of the "Future<br>
Generation Computer Systems (FGCS)" Journal published by<br>Elsevier Press.<br><br><br>PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:<br>----------------------------<br><br>All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format. The<br>
material presented should be original and not published or under<br>submission elsewhere. Authors should submit full papers of up to 8<br>pages, following strictly the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings<br>Manuscript style (available at<br>
<a href="http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">http://www.computer.org/<u></u>portal/web/cscps/formatting</a>),<br>using two-column, single-space format, with 10-point font size.<br>
Figures and references must be included in the 8 pages. Oversized<br>papers will be automatically rejected by the PC chairs. At least<br>one of the authors of each accepted paper must register early to<br>attend the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the<br>
conference proceedings.<br><br>Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research<br>that is not currently under review for any other conference<br>or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be<br>rejected without review and further action may be taken,<br>
including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the<br>heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the<br>conference. Submissions received after the due date,<br>exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may<br>
also not be considered. The proceedings will be published and<br>will be made online through the IEEE Xplore.<br><br>All papers should be submitted online using EasyChair<br>submission system.<br><br>CHAIRS & COMMITTEES:<br>
