    8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud

    Computing (UCC 2015)

    December 07-10, 2015, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus

    http://cyprusconferences.org/ucc2015

    *** EXTENDED DEADLINE: 17 July, 2015 ***

    CONTEXT AND SCOPE

    Cloud Computing delivers computational resources on-demand as services

    that are commoditized and delivered analogous to traditional utilities such as

    electricity, gas, water and telephony. Cloud service offerings for compute,

    storage and communication resources as well as for hosted software and data

    are growing at a tremendous rate, and it is essential to understand how to

    effectively transform these services into Utilities that provide value to both

    users and providers. There is also increasing interest from commercial

    providers to offer business and revenue models around the services they

    offer. Understanding how these models could be used to provide utility for

    users, intermediary brokers (aggregators) and providers is also an area of

    active research. UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas

    related to Cloud Computing as a Utility and provides an international forum

    for leading researchers and practitioners in this important and growing field.

    UCC 2015, to be held in Cyprus, will happen as Cloud providers worldwide

    add new services and increase Cloud utility at an accelerated pace, and Cloud

    service users explore new usage modes.

    This will be the 8th UCC in a successful conference series. Previous events

    were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud 2010

    & UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), Chicago, USA (UCC 2012), Dresden,

    Germany (UCC2013), and London, UK (UCC 2014).

    CALL FOR PAPERS

    Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research manuscripts that

    demonstrate current research in all areas of Cloud and Utility computing

    including design and analysis of distributed and centralized Cloud systems,

    data centre design and engineering, economic and market models for cloud

    systems, revenue and business models and their applications in scientific,

    engineering, and commercial deployment.

    Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    ? Big Data and Analytics

    ? Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing, including

    pricing and service models

    ? Policy languages and Programming models

    ? Utility driven model and mechanisms for Cloud federations

    ? Autonomic techniques for Clouds and Cloud applications

    ? Utility-driven platforms for Clouds

    ? Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds

    ? Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid,

    federated, aggregated

    ? Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and

    services at all layers (XaaS)

    ? Virtualization technologies and other enablers

    ? Economic models and scenarios of use

    ? Scalability and resource management: brokering, scheduling, capacity

    planning, parallelism and elasticity, as well as marketplaces

    ? Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, performance

    models and monitoring

    ? Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e-science)

    and business

    ? Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds

    ? Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as

    security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction, especially in Utility contexts

    One or more best paper awards will be given for outstanding contributed

    papers. Further details as well as submission guidelines are available at the

    conference website and below.

    MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES

    Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and

    may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using

    10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including

    figures, tables, and references.

    Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file.

    Manuscripts must be received by July 17, 2015 (extended!). All

    manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee and evaluated on

    originality, relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical

    strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, and organization and clarity

    of presentation of the paper.

    Please use the following Easy Chair link to update your submission:

    https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucc2015 .

    Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not

    currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not

    following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action

    may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of

    the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions

    received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately

    structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program

    Chairs at the email addressed below for further information or clarification.

    Notification of review decisions will be mailed by August 21, 2015. Camera

    -ready papers are due by September 21, 2015. Published proceedings will

    be available at the conference.

    At least one author of each paper must be registered for the conference in

    order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. There is NO student

    rate for the author who is responsible for registration for his/her published

    paper. If you have more than one accepted paper, you have to register for

    each one individually. There is no discount if you have two or more papers

    accepted. Presentation of an accepted paper at the conference is a

    requirement of publication. Any paper that is not presented at the

    conference will not be included in IEEE Xplore.

    SPECIAL ISSUES

    Selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit an extended

    version to the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing. Papers will be selected

    based on their reviewers' scores and appropriateness to the journal's theme.

    All extended versions will undergo reviews and must represent original

    unpublished research work. Further details will be made available at the

    conference webpage.
