The IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) is a premier conference on Cloud Computing, which in the last two decades has significantly changed the way IT resources are consumed.
IC2E provides a high-quality, 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 – including systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, applications, and software engineering. IC2E offers an end-to-end view of the challenges and technologies in Cloud Computing, fosters new research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society.
Environmental challenges are currently reshaping Cloud engineering priorities as they urgently require our attention, both on reducing the environmental impacts of Cloud systems and on participating to propose sustainable answers to these environmental challenges. A particular focus will be given at IC2E 2025 on sustainable Cloud computing and Cloud for sustainability, while other topics (listed above) are most welcome.
IC2E invites submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully developed results and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The IC2E Program Committee will interpret “cloud engineering” very broadly – to include everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, and advances that target different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. In particular, submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities are encouraged. Authors can choose to submit their papers under either the Research and Vision or Industry and Experience Track. Submissions are invited on the following non-exhaustive list of topics for both tracks:
IC2E is looking for the following three types of paper submissions:
Research and vision papers should be submitted to the Research Track, industry and experience papers to the Industry Track. Vision papers should have "(Vision Paper)" as a subtitle on thefirst page.
Paper submissions should be single-blind. Authors must submit full and short papers in PDF via the Web
submission form, upon selecting Research
Track or Industry Track options:
\documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}, without including the compsoc
or compsocconf options. As reviewers often ask for additional content, IC2E
differentiates between paper formatting for reviewing and for the final published version:
IC2E supports Open Science practices. Therefore, authors are strongly encouraged to publish software and data sets as open-source/data.
All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the paper type, 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. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed).
During the initial paper submission process, it is the authors' responsibility to ensure that the complete author list is registered in Easychair. Please be aware that the author list of an accepted paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript.
Papers that include text and/or images generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) such as ChatGPT are prohibited unless the AI-generated text and images are explicitly identified as such in the paper.
IC2E 2025 plans to be an in-person event, and the authors of accepted papers are expected to arrange for an in-person attendee to present the paper and answer questions.
