Recent advances in cloud computing technologies provide the ability to aggregate geographically-distributed resources into a single integrated computing platform. A variety of heterogeneous distributed resources, such as clusters, PCs, workstations, data storage devices or specific scientific instruments, are utilized and shared in cloud computing systems. Computational resources, storage, memory, and bandwidth are complemented with content-oriented input from databases and web services. An emerging research area for cloud computing has seen a change from widely distributed resources sharing for data-intensive problems to service-oriented computation, collaboration, and virtual organization. Therefore, the discovery and integration of cloud resources and services on Internet has become convenient and flexible in terms of the combination of cloud computing and web services used in various cloud applications. Therefore, this workshop intends to foster state-of-the-art research in the areas of Cloud computing, Technologies, and Applications through a forum for novel results and solutions to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in the future. We encourage the submission of innovative and mature results in designing, analyzing, and developing grid technology, services, and applications. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Cloud, grid, and cluster integration

Programming models, tools and environments

e-Science and virtual instrumentation

Cloud application and deployment environments

Theory and practice of cloud services and applications

Performance evaluation and modeling, measurement technology for cloud hardware and middleware

HPC applications on cloud environments

Cloud Infrastructure, architecture, system, middleware, and toolkits

Management resource discovery and allocation, monitoring, scheduling, and meta-scheduling

P2P technology peer-to-peer techniques for cloud computing

Partitioning and load balancing technologies for cloud

Resource allocation and management in learning cloud

Internet-based computing models

Management systems for cloud computing

Resource management, reservation, scheduling, and load balancing

Performance evaluation and modeling

Web services and web security in cloud computing

Paper Submission

Original papers that are not published previously or under review by other journals or conferences will be considered. All submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, significance, correctness, presentation and relevance. The conference proceedings will be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) by Springer-Verlag. All submissions will be handled electronically through CloudCAT2011 submission system at http://grid.chu.edu.tw/cloudcat2011/sub, and must be in PDF. For format and style guidelines authors should refer to: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0 Failure to comply will prevent the paper from appearing in the conference proceedings. Manuscripts will be limited to 10 pages following LNCS conference proceedings style and guidelines. Papers that present novel ideas, criticize existing work, and discuss practical studies and experiments are especially encouraged.

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the proceedings. CloudCAT 2011 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the workshop if the paper is not presented at the conference.
