Call for Papers: JCC 2026
===============================================================
The 17th IEEE International Conference on JointCloud Computing
27-30, July, 2026
Hybrid Event (Online & Tokyo)

===============================================================
Modern enterprises increasingly adopt multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud strategies to orchestrate services across providers, optimize performance, and avoid vendor lock-in. However, this distributed paradigm introduces significant challenges in interoperability, security, management, scalability, and intelligent orchestration. JointCloud serves as the architectural backbone for next-generation ecosystems, encompassing hybrid, multi-cloud, federated, and cloud-edge integration, as well as computing network convergence and blockchain-based systems.

IEEE JCC 2026 is a premier global forum for sharing cutting-edge research and industrial insights into scalable, intelligent JointCloud computing. The conference will be held in a hybrid online/offline format, with the physical venue located in Tokyo, Japan. We invite original contributions in JointCloud computing and at its intersection with advanced Al technologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
● JointCloud Infrastructure & Federation
● Unified Management & Interoperability
● Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB)
● Marketplace Models
● Edge-to-Cloud Continuum
● Computing-Network Convergence
● Blockchain & Decentralized Trust in JointCloud
● Al for JointCloud Orchestration & Optimization
● Federated Learning in Multi-Cloud Settings
● Large Language Models (LLMs) on JointCloud
● Generative Al on JointCloud
● Cross-Cloud Identity & Access Management
● Confidential Computing
● Encrypted Data Processing
● Cross-Border Data Governance
● JointCloud Security Orchestration
● Green JointCloud & Carbon-Aware Scheduling
● High-Performance Interconnection for AI & HPC
● Reliability, Fault Tolerance
● Disaster Recovery in Multi-Cloud
● Quality of Service (QoS) in JointCloud
● Serverless & Microservices Across Clouds

[Selected papers will be invited to submit to IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing]
