Publications
All accepted and presented papers, including the workshops’ papers, will be published by IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and are included in the IEEE Xplore database. They will further arranged for indexing through IEE INSPEC, EI (Compendex), and Thomson ISI. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, should register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE Xplore and EI after the conference.

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
