The 7th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science,
CLOSER 2017, focuses on the emerging area of Cloud Computing, inspired by
some latest advances that concern the infrastructure, operations, and
available services through the global network. Further, the conference
considers as essential the link to Services Science, acknowledging the
service-orientation in most current IT-driven collaborations. The conference
is nevertheless not about the union of these two (already broad) fields, but
about Cloud Computing where we are also interested in how Services Science
can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage,
market and study various aspects of Cloud Computing.

CLOSER 2017 will be held in conjunction with  <http://www.complexis.org/>
COMPLEXIS 2017,  <http://iotbds.org> IoTBDS 2017,
<http://www.smartgreens.org> SMARTGREENS 2017 and  <http://www.vehits.org>
VEHITS 2017.
