[Apologies if you receive multiple copies] ===================================================== ACM SIGMETRICS Workshop on Distributed Cloud Computing (DCC) https://sites.google.com/site/sigmetricsdcc2015/ co-located with ACM SIGMETRICS 2015 and ACM FCRC 2015 June 19, 2015 Portland, Oregon, USA ===================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submissions due: 24 February 2015 Submissions due: 3 March 2015 Notification of acceptance: 10 April 2015 Camera-ready papers due: 22 April 2015 Workshop: 19 June 2015 WORKSHOP GOAL The Distributed Cloud Computing (DCC) workshop is interdisciplinary and touches both distributed systems and networking aspects as well as cloud computing. DCC 2013 was co-located with IEEE/ACM UCC 2013 and DCC 2014 was co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2014. We want to attract both industry relevant papers as well as papers from academic researchers working on the foundations of the distributed cloud computing. DCC 2015 accepts high-quality papers related to the distributed cloud which fall into at least one of the following categories: - Foundations and principles of distributed cloud computing - Experience with and performance evaluation of existing deployments and measurements (public, private, hybrid, federated environments) - Optimization and algorithms - Architectural models, prototype implementations and applications - Virtualization technology and enablers (network virtualization, software-defined networking) - Service and resource specification, languages, and formal verification - Economics and pricing SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Submissions are single-blind and should not exceed 4 pages in length (in ACM format: http://www.sigmetrics.org/sig-alternate-per.cls). Accepted papers will appear in a Special Issue of the ACM Performance Evaluation Review (PER). Authors of accepted papers grant ACM permission to publish them in print and digital formats. There are no copyright issues with PER, and thus authors retain the copyright of their work with complete freedom to submit their work elsewhere. For an accepted paper, at least one author must attend the workshop.
