Cloud computing has emerged as a new paradigm for the use and delivery of
information technology (IT), and is revolutionizing the support of on-demand
access, economies of scale and dynamic sourcing options. In the cloud context, a
wide range of IT resources and capabilities, including servers, networking,
storage, middleware, data, security, applications, and business processes, are
available as services enabled for rapid provisioning, flexible pricing, elastic
scaling and resilience. These new forms of IT services are challenging
conventional wisdom and practices. To fully reap the benefits of the cloud
service model requires holistic treatment of key technical and business issues,
and engineering methodology that draws upon innovations in diverse areas of
computer science and business informatics.
The IEEE International Conference on Cloud
Engineering (IC2E) seeks to provide a high-quality and comprehensive forum, where
researchers and practitioners involved in the development of cloud
infrastructure and applications 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.
Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently
under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The conference is
interested in both research contributions and industrial experiences in any of
the areas associated with cloud architectures, services, development, and
operations. Technical papers that take a broad systems perspective and identify
how the work fits to an overall solution are particularly of interest.
IC2E 2016 solicits submissions for the programs and events listed below.
- Research papers
- Industrial papers
- Tutorial proposals
- Panel proposals
- Doctoral symposium contributions
- Workshop proposals
We invite submissions of high quality contributions describing fully
developed results or on-going foundational and applied work relating
to all aspects of cloud engineering defined broadly, including
- X as a Service, where X includes
Backend, Business Process, Database, Information, Infrastructure,
Network, Platform, Security, Software, and Storage
- Big data management and analytics
- Mobile cloud computing
- Virtualization technology
- Performance, dependability, and service level agreements
- Cloud security, privacy, compliance, and trust
- Workload deployment and migration
- Energy management in cloud centers
- Cloud programming models and tools
- Software engineering methodology and practices for cloud computing
- Hybrid cloud integration
- Service lifecycle management
- Service management automation
- Metering, pricing, and software licensing
- Cloud applications
We particularly encourage submissions on topics of emerging interest
in the research and development communities.
Proposals for accompanying workshops are also solicited on topics that
demand dedicated coverage due to their relevance to the current data
management research and development. The program will also include
industrial presentations, a doctoral symposium, and keynote and
invited talks by leaders in academia and industry, including a "Cloud
Summit".
All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled
electronically. Refer to the respective calls for papers for detailed submission information.
