IC2E 2017 Call for Papers
Industrial Track
The IC2E 2017 Industrial Track invites papers emphasizing practical
experiences, real-world applications and emerging challenges in the
industry on topics of interest that are similar to those in the
general conference call for papers. All accepted papers will be
presented at the conference and included in the conference
proceedings. The industrial track aims to enable broader industry
participation. It provides a forum for the discussion of practical
issues running cloud platforms or services, and sharing of information
and best practices among developers, practitioners, service providers
and cloud operators.
Key areas of interest include:
- Design, implementation and operation of cloud platforms
- Practical design issues with infrastructure, platform and other as-a-service offerings
- Experimental data on cloud operations and usage patterns
- Managing big data, practical challenges and emerging techniques
- Platforms and services around data and analytics
- Operational analytics and DevOps solutions
- Experience with cloud management systems, tools, and integration
- Cloud security, privacy, compliance, and trust
- Resource management and accounting for cloud
- Energy management in cloud centers
- Cloud and mobile intersection
- Cloud programming models, benchmarks, and tools
- Cloud operating models including, public, on-premises and hybrid integration
- Economics of cloud including metering, pricing, billing and licence management
- Service lifecycle management and automation
- Cloud runtimes including virtualization, containers, unikernels, event-driven serverless computing
Submission instructions
- Please submit papers by submission deadline in PDF format via the web submission form at https://hotcrp.doc.ic.ac.uk/ic2e17/

Research Track
The IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) seeks
to provide a high-quality and comprehensive forum, where researchers
and practitioners can exchange information on engineering principles,
enabling technologies, and practical experiences related to cloud
computing. The conference brings together experts who work on
different levels of the cloud stack—systems, storage, networking,
platforms, databases, and applications. IC2E offers an end-to-end view
on the challenges and technologies in cloud computing, fosters
research that addresses the interaction between different layers of
the stack, and ultimately helps shape the future of cloud-transformed
business and society.
We invite submissions of high-quality research papers describing
fully-developed results, and ongoing foundational and applied work
related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The program committee
will interpret “cloud engineering” very broadly—everything from
engineering principles to practical experiences, at and across
different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and
industry. We particularly encourage submissions on topics of emerging
interest in the research and development communities. We invite
submissions on the following topics:
- Big data management, platforms and analytics
- Cloud applications and services
- Cloud programming models, benchmarks, and tools
- Cloud storage and databases
- Cloud processing, both batch and streaming
- Cloud security, privacy, compliance, and trust
- Energy management in cloud centers
- Hybrid cloud integration
- Metering, pricing, and software licensing
- Mobile cloud computing
- Multimedia cloud computing
- Performance, dependability, and service level agreements
- Resource management and optimization in the cloud
- Service lifecycle management and automation
- Virtualization technology
- Workload deployment and migration
- X as a Service, where X includes Backend, Business Process, Database, Information, Infrastructure, Network, Platform, Security, Software, Storage, or other emerging services
- Microservices in the cloud
Important Dates
- There is no abstract submission deadline.
- Full paper submission deadline (final extension):
September 14, 2016, 23:59 GMT
- Author notification:
December 5, 2016
- Camera-ready deadline: January 15, 2017
Submission instructions
- Please register abstracts by the abstract submission deadline and submit full (and short) papers by the full paper submission deadline in PDF format via the web submission form at https://hotcrp.doc.ic.ac.uk/ic2e17/
- Full research track papers should not exceed 10 pages double column, including figures, and tables. References can be additional pages. Short papers are limited to 6 pages, not including references. Short papers should be clearly marked as such in the title.
- The manuscripts may not exceed 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style).
- See style templates for details: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Review process and publication
- All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted manuscripts must contain original contributions, and their contributions must NOT have appeared in or be under consideration for publication in another workshop, conference, or journal.
- After review, some full paper submissions may be offered to be published as a short paper (6 pages) or a poster (2 pages).
- Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed).
