8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud

Computing (UCC 2015)

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

*** Final Extended Deadline: August 7th, 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).
