"Cloud" is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible platform of shared hardware and software hidden from users for scalable service provision. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualizations of hardware and software. Under Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities are provided as services, accessible anywhere anytime without requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology. Thus, many mature technologies are used as components in Cloud Computing, but still there are many unresolved and open problems. In particular, how traditional information systems can be (re-)engineered and migrate to new cloud platforms is a key issue of its adoption. This leads to our workshop topic of ??Cloud Information System Engineering?? (CISE).

The creation, operation, and evolution of such research and practice raise concerns that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling through to the deployment of specific implementation technologies and paradigms, and involve a wide (and ever growing) range of methods, tools, and technologies. They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry segments, and even government sectors.

This event intentionally seeks scientists, engineers, educators, industry people, policy makers, decision makers, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in Cloud Information Systems Engineering. The proceedings of WISE 2010 workshops will be published in a separate volume by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, with best papers to be recommended for publication in special issues of international journals.

Topics

Topic of interest include but are not limited to the theoretical, technical, or empirical aspects of the following:

* Principles, theories, models, challenges, legal, and social issues of CISE
* Cloud / grid middleware frameworks and configuration design
* Novel IS development methodology for cloud computing
* Enterprise IS and business process integration / distribution in the cloud
* Data grid, ontologies and Semantic Web / Cloud
* Autonomic, intelligent, and agent computing in the cloud
* Recommendation, personalization, operation, monitoring, scheduling, and auditing issues
* Trust, reputation, security, and privacy in the cloud
* Virtual organizations, virtual communities, P2P, and value chains in the cloud
* Load balancing, fault tolerance, scalability, testing and reliability design
