The IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) conference series seeks to provide a high-quality and comprehensive forum, where researchers and practitioners can exchange information on engineering principles, enabling technologies, and practical experiences as related to cloud computing. By bringing together experts that work on different levels of the cloud stack - systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, and applications, IC2E will offer an end-to-end view on the challenges and technologies in cloud computing, foster research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately help shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society.

IC2E 2015 provides an excellent mix of technical presentations. In addition to research and industrial paper presentations, there will be two keynote speeches

• Youngchoon Park; Director of Technologies, Johnson Controls, Inc.
• Douglas Terry; Distinguished Research Engineer at Samsung Research America.

The program also includes 4 tutorials

• The Social Internet of Things
• A Hands on Apache Storm Tutorial: for beginners to advanced users
• An Introduction to Cloud Benchmarking
• MobiSocial (Mobile and Social) Data Management

two panels

• Cloud Sustainability
• Cloud and Internet-of-Things

and two industrial practitioners' talks

• Ramani Routray; Software Architect, IBM Research
• Jun Li; Principal Research Scientist, HP Labs

covering timely topics. This year's IC2E event also includes a doctoral symposium and six affiliated workshops focusing on cutting-edge topics that are relevant to the current data management research and development.

• International Workshop on the Future of PaaS
• International Workshop on Software Defined Systems
• International Workshop on Cloud Computing Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability
• International workshop on Legal and Technical Issues in Cloud Computing
• International Workshop on Cloud Analytics
• International Workshop on Container Technologies and Container Clouds

This year, the conference will be held in Tempe, Arizona. Arizona promises stunning desert vistas and a breathtaking setting. Adjacent to Phoenix, the fifth most populated city in the United States, many attractions, parks, and recreational areas -including the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Petrified Forest, and Painted Desert- are within a short distance.
