IC2E 2019 Call for Papers
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. The IC2E 2019 will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from June 24th to 27th 2019.

Submission instructions
- Please 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/ic2e19/ .
- All papers should be double blind.
- Full research/industry track papers should not exceed 10 pages double column, including figures, and tables. References can be additional pages. We do not distinguish research and industry, there is a unified track. 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: [templates]
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).
