techniques as applied to systems computing. The list of possible topics includes but is not restricted to
the following areas:

Architectural models for cloud computing
Virtualization of the infrastructure
Platform as a service
Software as a service
Hardware as a service
Elasticity in clouds
Storage virtualization
Green computing models for clouds
Programming models for clouds
Cloud computing for the mobile world
Threat handling and security issues in clouds
Enterprise applications on clouds
OS development for applications on clouds
QoS for applications on clouds
Optimization and performance issues on clouds
Communication protocols for clouds
Databases for clouds
Web 2.0 and clouds

This track particularly welcomes theoretical models, algorithms,practical results, description and
analysisof experiments and demonstrations of working prototypes of cloud computing applications.

Your paper needs to be submitted to the track chairs.The submissions
