CloudCP 2012: 2nd International Workshop on Cloud Computing Platforms
10 April 2012 Bern, Switzerland http://www.wikibench.eu/CloudCP/ In conjunction with EuroSys 2012 Cloud computing is currently on the way to maturing from early prototypes to become a serious platform for production environments. At the same time, however, early adopters complain about serious usability problems as well as insufficient or fluctuating system performance. Even more, different application domains, like web services or scientific computing, have strongly different requirements to clouds as their computing environments. This workshop is investigating the needs and requirements from different, potential cloud application domains, and especially how cloud computing platforms (IaaS, PaaS, and their integration) can be built in order to meet these requirements. The workshop's focus is on building suitable and high-performance cloud computing platforms. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the technical aspects of cloud computing. The focus of the workshop is on novel, practical, systems-oriented work. CloudCP seeks contributions on all systems-related aspects of cloud computing platforms. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Cloud storage and file systems * Networks within cloud systems, the storage area, and to the outside * Virtualization techniques in the context of cloud computing platforms * System integration, virtual compute clusters * Consolidation * NoSQL data stores * Performance, SLA management and enforcement * Resource provisioning * Security techniques for the Cloud * Energy management * Programming paradigms for clouds, Map-reduce and beyond * Performance analysis of cloud applications and programming environments Proceedings will be published in the ACM digital library (pending confirmation). Papers should be formatted using the standard ACM format, with a maximum size of 6 pages. The format of submitted papers should correspond to our LaTeX style file. Instructions on how to use this format can be found here. Authors should not change the ACM template in terms of font size or page margins. For convenience, we allow authors to indicate potential conflicts of interest (e.g., to exclude PC members from within their research group), and submission type (regular paper, position paper). Important dates * Paper submission: January 20th 2012 * Notification to authors: February 10th 2012 * Camera-ready papers due: February 24th 2012 * Workshop: April 10th 2012 Program Committee Program co-chairs: * Valentin Cristea (Politehnica University Bucharest, Romania) * Guillaume Pierre (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands) Program committee: TBA |
