DCC 2014 accepts high-quality papers related to the distributed cloud which fall into at least one of the following categories:

- Novel ideas on how to design and operate/manage the distributed cloud

- Foundations and principles of distributed cloud computing

- Optimization and algorithms

- Architectural models, prototype implementations and applications

- Virtualization technology and enablers (network virtualization, software-defined networking)

- Experience with existing deployments and measurements (public, private, hybrid, federated environments)

- Service and resource specification, languages, and formal verification

- Economics and pricing
