However, as the scale grows, it is more and more difficult to provide efficient and sustainable solutions. To cope with this problem, the research in large scale cloud computing is addressing a large variety of challenges related to sustainable scalability such as economy-of-scale, agile elastic scalability, energy efficiency, scalable storage, computing accelerators, automatic management of resources, resilience, hybrid clouds, etc.<br><br>This special session is focused on novel contributions towards increasing the sustain- ability of ultrascale cloud computing systems with a holistic approach. Papers submitted should provide new techniques toward sustainable cloud computing systems, including better programmability of applications and system software stack, sustainable data manage- ment, energy efficiency, system resilience, and deployment in distributed ultrascale cloud platforms.<br><br><b>Topics:</b><br><br><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Development, evaluation, and optimization of sustainable cloud architectures.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Cloud Composition, Federation, and hybrid cloud infrastructure.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Virtual HPC architectures on the Cloud: techniques for a sustainable implementation and deployment.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Software engineering approaches for ultra Scale systems.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Sustainable cloud management through self-managing techniques.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Ultra-scale performance monitoring techniques.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Dynamic provisioning techniques to increase utilization of servers.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Dynamic run-time adaptation for heterogeneous cloud platforms.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Data Flow Management and Load Balancing.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Sustainable software tools and techniques for clouds.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Agile (semi)automatic cloudification techniques and frames.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Sustainable big data processing techniques in cloud environments.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Techniques for reduction of energy consumption of applications and services by using Clouds.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Energy aware multi-Tenant environments.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Hardware and software tailoring techniques for greener infrastructures.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Resilience techniques to enhance sustainability of large-scale cloud systems.<br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Benchmarking and Modeling cloud sustainability in several aspects (applications, frameworks, IaaS, etc.).<br><br><b>Important dates</b><br><br>Paper Submission: June 16, 2014 </div><div>Notification of Acceptance: August 1, 2014 </div><div>Final Paper: August 15, 2014<br><br><b>Session organizers</b><br><br>Ivona Brandic.
