IEEE CCEM 2015

Call for Papers, Technology Showcase Proposals, Thesis Proposal Summaries & Tutorial Proposals

Overview

The fourth edition of the IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing for Emerging Markets (CCEM) offers an ideal forum for innovators, researchers and students on Cloud computing and its applications - these have emerged as a dominant and transformational paradigm in ICT affecting a multitude of institutions and industry-sectors such as government, finance, telecommunications, education, retail, energy and utilities, and transportation. Innovations in this spans a number of areas including virtualization, networking, storage, security, management of cloud services, efficient interoperable cloud architectures, and design of cloud applications and services. This transformation has great implications for emerging markets which have the potential to leap frog mature markets in their adoption of cloud computing, combine cloud computing and mobile technologies to introduce unique services that can transform the lives of billions, drive a much larger scale of adoption and challenge existing price points, while presenting unique challenges in areas such as security and user interfaces to cloud computing.

Program Highlights

The technology showcase session at CCEM enables startup companies, established companies, students, and faculty to demonstrate cutting edge new capabilities and ideas in the field of cloud computing. Accepted technology showcase proposals will have a dedicated space for technology demos throughout the duration of the conference. CCEM has showcased innovative technologies in previous years as well and these sessions have been very interactive with the conference audience that has also included reputed venture capitalists.

Technology Showcase proposals should be a maximum of 4 pagesin the IEEE conference proceedings format available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

The submission should have the Title in the format “TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE PROPOSAL: Title of your technology showcase proposal”

Technology showcase proposals should typically include an overview of the technology, details on the innovations that will be showcased, top use cases for the innovation, comparison to competing technologies and alternatives, and preferably links to the relevant website and link to a three minute or less video demo.

Please submit your technology showcase proposal by August 21, 2015 via Easychair for CCEM 2015 HERE

We invite Masters and Ph.D. students to submit a summary of their thesis proposals in Cloud Computing to CCEM 2015. The Thesis Symposium session will give selected Master’s and Doctoral students an opportunity to present the gist of their thesis proposal and obtain constructive feedback from experts in the field.

Thesis proposal summaries should be a maximum of 8 pages in the IEEE conference proceedings format available at
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

The submission should have the Title in the format “THESIS PROPOSAL SUMMARY: Title of your thesis proposal summary”

Please submit your thesis proposal summary by August 21, 2015 via Easychair for CCEM 2015 HERE

We are delighted to announce that CCEM '15 will host selected four hour tutorials on interesting topics in the area of cloud computing. The tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program, and are free of charge to the attendees of the conference. We expect to have three tutorials this year selected from submitted tutorial proposals.

Format of the Submission

A tutorial proposal should be a maximum of 8 pages in the IEEE conference proceedings format available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html and should include following sections:

• Title in the format “TUTORIAL PROPOAL TITLE: Name of your tutorial here”
• Abstract (up to 150 words)
• Topic overview: What will the tutorial be about? Why do you believe this is an interesting and significant subject for the cloud computing community at large?
