In conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science - CLOSER 2013


SCOPE

Cloud computing presents new economic and flexible business and technological models. The explosive uptake of Cloud solutions has fuelled the growth of Cloud services. However, to support Cloud providers and users, it is critical that sourcing decisions are informed through some system of Cloud service analytics. The 1st Cloud Service Analytics Workshop (CSAW) will provide an interactive and focused platform for presenting and discussing new and emerging ideas on Cloud service analytics. This workshop focuses on linking some of the latest research in business and I.T to explore how we can examine the value of Cloud service environments. This workshop provides a platform to exchange state-of-the-art research and practice in Cloud service analytics and explore emerging or overarching trends within the field of Cloud computing.
