4th Call for Papers --------------- for the 10th CLOUD COMPUTING ON INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE AND ITS APPLICATIONS (CCISA) special session at the 30th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and network-based Processing Location ======== Valladolid, Spain - Both On-site and Online conference Date ======== March 9 - 11, 2022 Scope ===== Cloud Computing covers a broad range of distributed computing principles from infrastructure (e.g distributed storage, reconfigurable networks) to new programming platforms (e.g MS Azure, Google Appe Engine), and internet-based applications. Particularly, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud systems allow the dynamic creation, destruction and management of virtual machines (VMs) as part of virtual computing infrastructures. IaaS Clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to the end user, one that allows the creation of on-demand services through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. The increasingly large range of choices and availability of IaaS toolkits has also allowed creation of cloud solutions and frameworks even suitable for private deployment and practical IaaS use on smaller scales. This special session on Cloud Computing is intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of Cloud Computing technologies and applications with compute and data intensive workloads. The special session also aims at presenting the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of open-source Cloud Computing solutions, as well as case studies in applications of Cloud Computing. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research in the areas of Cloud Computing, Fog/Edge, Serverless and Distributed Computing. With the rapid evolution of newly emerging technologies, this session also aims to provide a forum for novel methods and case studies on the integrated use of clouds, fogs, Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain systems. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, learn, and discuss the latest results in these research fields. The special session program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cloud Computing for scientific, compute and/or data intensive applications - Virtual Machine scheduling and management algorithms - Operational challenges, federative and interoperability aspects of IaaS systems - Virtual machine/container image and virtual appliance storage management (e.g., caching, repositories, marketplaces) - Virtualization and container technologies and their effects on IaaS solutions - Programming models, tools, orchestration techniques, applications and workflows involving Cloud and IoT systems - Cloud, Edge and Fog services for the Internet of Things - Cloud, Edge and Fog services for enhanced Blockchain infrastructures - Performance evaluation, modelling, simulation and prediction of integrated cloud, fog, blockchain and IoT systems - Scalability issues of IoT-Fog-Cloud systems - Security and Privacy aspects of data management in clouds, fogs, blockchain and IoT systems Submission guidelines ===================== Authors are required to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on infrastructure clouds and their applications. Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages in the Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt). The special session applies double-bind review: the paper should not contain authors’ names and affiliations; in the reference list, references to the authors’ own work entries should be substituted with the string "omitted for blind review”. Submission site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2022 Please note, as the first step of the submission procedure, authors must pick the cloud special session in order to be considered for inclusion within the session. All accepted papers will be included in the same volume as the main conference's material, and they will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The Final Paper Preparation and Submission Instructions will be published after the notification of acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be submitted to IEEE explore, CSDL, and for indexing among others, to DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.

9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022): Second Call for Contributions
by George Angelos Papadopoulos 01 Oct '21

01 Oct '21

*** Second Call for Contributions *** 9th European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2022) March 22-24, 2022, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany https://www.esocc-conf.eu Scope Service-oriented and cloud computing have made a huge impact both on the software industry and on the research community. Today, service and cloud technologies are applied to build large-scale software landscapes as well as to provide single software services to end users. Services today are independently developed and deployed as well as freely composed while they can be implemented in a variety of technologies, a quite important fact from a business perspective. Similarly, cloud computing aims at enabling flexibility by offering a centralised sharing of resources. The industry's need for agile and flexible software and IT systems has made cloud computing the dominating paradigm for provisioning computational resources in a scalable, on- demand fashion. Nevertheless, service developers, providers, and integrators still need to create methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms, services and service- oriented applications in the cloud. The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier conference on advances in the state of the art and practice of service- oriented computing and cloud computing in Europe. The main objectives of this conference are to facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners in the areas of service-oriented computing and cloud computing, as well as to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond. Tracks - Main conference: three days of invited talks, panels, and presentations of selected research papers, including a dedicated day to satellite workshops. - PhD Symposium: an opportunity for PhD students to present their research activities and perspectives, to critically discuss them with other PhD students and with established researchers in the area, hence getting fruitful feedback and advices on their research activities. - Projects Track: a useful opportunity for researchers to disseminate the latest research developments in their projects and meet representatives of other consortia.
