Call for Papers
The Cloud is a natural evolution of distributed computing and of the widespread adaption of virtualization and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). 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. The IEEE International Conference and Workshops on Cloud Computing Technology and Science, steered by the Cloud Computing Association, aim to bring together researchers who work on cloud computing and related technologies.
Topics of interest of CloudCom 2016 include (but are not limited to):
- Architecture and Virtualization
- Cloud Services and Applications
- IoT and Mobile on Cloud
- Big Data
- High Performance Computing (HPC) in/with the Cloud
- Security and Privacy
- Distributed Cloud / Cloud Brokering / Edge Computing
