The IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) conference series provides 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, analytics, 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 drives cloud-based innovation in business and society.
This year the conference will place a special focus on cloud systems for sustainability and sustainability of cloud systems. Other paper topics remain most welcome, of course.

Title: Adaptive Cloud-Native Architectures: Engineering for Resilience, Efficiency, and Sustainability from Core to Edge.
Bastract: Cloud-native systems have grown too complex for elasticity alone to ensure reliability and sustainability. This talk examines adaptivity—systems that adjust scale and behavior using control-based mechanisms. Examples include graceful degradation to preserve core functionality, adaptive circuit breaking to prevent cascading failures, and hardware-level QoS tuning to optimize shared resources. Together, these approaches improve resilience, efficiency, and sustainability. I will also connect these ideas to edge computing, where control must balance local autonomy with global coordination.

Title: Multi-scale Adaptive Designs: dealing with Complexity and Surprise.
Abstract: How to handle escalating complexity while adapting to unexpected change? And how to compromise between short-term efficiency and long-term survival? This presentation will examine how multi-scale adaptive systems, with various design styles, may help. It will bring a generic perspective distilled from cross-domain examples, from technical and living systems to ecosystems.

Title: AI impact on the environnent: from projections to remedies.
Abstract: With the boom of AI and in particular the hype aroung Gen AI, the materiality of the cloud becomes even more of a concern. This presentation will guide you through the maze of the mid-term trends as far the data centers utilities demand, their CO2e emissions and craving for minerals. Some mitigation levers implemented by OVHcloud will illustrate how the digital industry can reduce its impact on the environment while embracing the AI revolution.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion are central to the goals of the IEEE Computer Society and all of its conferences. Equity at its heart is about removing barriers, biases, and obstacles that impede equal access and opportunity to succeed. Diversity is fundamentally about valuing human differences and recognizing diverse talents. Inclusion is the active engagement of diversity and equity.
A goal of the IEEE Computer Society is to foster an environment in which all individuals are entitled to participate in any IEEE Computer Society activity free of discrimination. For this reason, the IEEE Computer Society is firmly committed to team compositions in all sponsored activities, including but not limited to, technical committees, steering committees, conference organizations, standards committees, and ad hoc committees that display equity, diversity, and inclusion.
IEEE Computer Society meetings, conferences and workshops must provide a welcoming, open and safe environment, which embraces the value of every person, regardless of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, religion, national origin, ancestry, or disability. All individuals are entitled to participate in any IEEE Computer Society activity free of discrimination, including harassment based on any of the above factors.
IEEE believes that science, technology, and engineering are fundamental human activities, for which openness, international collaboration, and the free flow of talent and ideas are essential. Its meetings, conferences, and other events seek to enable engaging, thought provoking conversations that support IEEE’s core mission of advancing technology for humanity. Accordingly, IEEE is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all participants, including staff and vendors, at IEEE-related events.
IEEE has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at IEEE-related events. All participants have the right to pursue shared interests without harassment or discrimination in an environment that supports diversity and inclusion. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others.
IEEE seeks to provide a secure environment at its events. Participants should report any behavior inconsistent with the principles outlined here, to on site staff, security or venue personnel, or to eventconduct@ieee.org.
