The 6th IEEE International Symposium on Cloud and Service Computing（IEEE SC2 2016）
http://grid.chu.edu.tw/sc2-2016 Fiji, December 8-10, 2016 --------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------- The “Cloud” is a natural evolution of distributed computing and the widespread adaption of virtualization and SOA. Services computing is a new cross-discipline subject that covers the science and technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and IT services. In cloud computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as services, via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology. SC2 2016 is an important forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IT-driven cloud computing technologies and services, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions of cloud and services computing. IEEE SC2 2016 will be held on Dec. 8-10, 2016 in Fiji. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cloud architecture - Cloud OS, middleware, and toolkits - Storage architecture - Big data infrastructure, systems, methodologies, and applications - Virtualization techniques - Resource provision, monitoring, and scheduling - Privacy and access control for cloud computing - Performance evaluation and modeling measurement for cloud computing - Programming models for building cloud applications - Networking in cloud computing - Security, privacy and trustworthy in clouds - Security, privacy and trustworthy for service oriented architectures and systems - Energy efficient hardware and software solutions - High availability and reliability - Large scale cloud applications - Internet/web computing and data mining - Volunteer and utility computing - Green and pervasive computing - Service oriented architecture - Discovery of services and data in cloud computing infrastructures - Foundations of services computing - Services-centric business models - Business process integration and management --------------------------------------- PUBLICATION HIGHLIGHTS --------------------------------------- IEEE CS proceedings, indexed by - IEEE Xplore - Scopus - EI Engineering Index - ACM Digital Library - dblp - Google Scholar Extended version of the selected papers will be invited for publication in prestigious international journals. ---------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Tutorial / Workshop / Special Session Proposal Due: MAY 10, 2016 Paper Submission (Research Track): AUG 10, 2016 Paper Submission (Works-in-Progress/workshop): AUG 30, 2016 Author Notification (Research/workshop/WIP): SEP 15, 2016 Paper Submission (Demo /Poster /Special session): SEP 20, 2016 Author Notification (Poster / Demo): SEP 20, 2016 Camera ready / registration deadline: SEP 30, 2016 --------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION --------------------------------------------- Papers need to be prepared according to the IEEE format, and submitted in PDF format via the IEEE SC2 2016 submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeesc22016 IEEE formatting information: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html - Proposals for organizing tutorials, workshops and special sessions need to be submitted to the Tutorials, Workshops and Special Sessions Chairs, respectively. A proposal should include title, theme, scope and main presenters/organizers. - Research paper (8 pages) should explore a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results. - Works-in-Progess (WIP) (6 pages) papers are expected to present either work currently in progress or less developed but highly innovative ideas. - Demo/Poster papers (4 pages) must describe working systems and be related to SC2. These systems may be innovative prototype implementations or mature systems that use related technology. Papers/proposals need to be submitted to the Demo/Poster Chair. - Workshop and Special Session papers (6 pages) need to be submitted to the corresponding workshops and special sessions. ------------------------------- Organizing Committees ------------------------------- General Chairs Chung-Ta King, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Hong Shen, University of Adelaide, Australia Hamid R.
