CloudApp 2010: The Second IEEE International Workshop on Applied Cloud
Computing

July 18-22, 2011 – Munich, Germany

In conjunction with the 35th Annual IEEE Computer Software and Applications
Conference (COMPSAC 2011)

http://compsac.cs.iastate.edu/cc_workshops.php

Cloud computing is swiftly becoming a very significant computing paradigm,
allowing organizations to implement more computationally smart and agile
environments by improving efficiency and reliability at lower cost. Many
potential uses have been proposed to leverage this powerful resource,
covering many areas of applied computing. CloudApp intends to bring together
cloud computing researchers, experts, developers, and practitioners from
academia, industry, and government, to discuss new and emerging trends in
research, application, and management of cloud computing technologies for
these environments. The workshop seeks to identify the greatest risks and
challenges facing these paradigms, outline approaches for solving them, and
provide the foundation for new cross-discipline collaborative efforts.

We solicit unpublished research papers that address theoretical issues and
practical implementations and experiences related to new technologies and
applications enabled by cloud computing. Topics of interest related to
applied cloud computing include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Cloud service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS)
- Cost analysis and revenue models
- Data assurance/management
- Digital forensic challenges and applications
- Enterprise applications based on clouds
- Governance
- Identity management
- Network and storage architectures
- Programming models and tools
- Performance monitoring and optimization
- Scalability and complexity
- Scientific and high performance computing
- Security applications
- Security policy and trust models
- Service computing
- Service Level Agreement compliance
- Virtualization techniques and applications

Paper Submission:
Papers must be submitted electronically via the CloudApp 2011 Submission
Page. The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the
IEEE conference proceedings. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at
least three reviewers. Papers can be submitted as regular papers (six pages),
and the acceptance will depend on reviewer feedback. Accepted papers will be
published in the workshop proceedings of the COMPSAC 2011 by the IEEE CS
Press. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a
full participant of the workshop to have the paper published in the
proceedings.
