Call for Papers
---------------

for the
6th CLOUD COMPUTING ON INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE AND ITS APPLICATIONS (CCISA)
special session at the
26th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and
network-based Processing

Location
========
Cambridge, UK
Conference dates: 21-23th March, 2018.

Scope
=====

Cloud Computing covers a broad range of distributed computing principles from
infrastructure (e.g distributed storage, reconfigurable networks) to new
programming platforms (e.g MS Azure, Google Appe Engine), and internet-based
applications. Particularly, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud systems -
such as Amazon EC2, Rackspace or Google Compute Engine - allow the dynamic
creation, destruction and management of virtual machines (VMs) as part of
virtual computing infrastructures. IaaS Clouds provide a high-level of
abstraction to the end user, one that allows the creation of on-demand services
through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. The
increasingly large range of choices and availability of IaaS toolkits has also
allowed creation of cloud solutions and frameworks even suitable for private
deployment and practical IaaS use on smaller scales. This special session on
Cloud Computing is intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and
experiences on the use of Cloud Computing technologies and applications with
compute and data intensive workloads. The special session also aims at
presenting the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of
open-source Cloud Computing solutions - such as OpenStack or OpenNebula -
themselves, as well as case studies in applications of Cloud Computing. With the
rapid evolution and proliferation of Internet of Things systems, we this session
also aims to provide a forum for case studies on integrated use of clouds and
IoT systems. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, learn, and
discuss the latest results in this field of research. The special session
program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Virtualization and container technologies and their effects on IaaS solutions
- Incorporating beyond-CPU virtualization (e.g., I/O, GPU) aspects to cloud
infrastructures
- Cloud Computing resource management (e.g., Virtual Machine scheduling and
management algorithms)
- Operational challenges, federative and interoperability aspects of private,
hybrid and public IaaS systems
- Novel IaaS architectures, platforms and applications (e.g., incorporating IoT
systems)
- Virtual machine/container image and virtual appliance storage management
(e.g., caching, repositories, marketplaces)
- Virtual Machine migration techniques
- Security and Privacy aspects of data management in clouds and IoT systems
- Cloud Computing for scientific, compute and/or data intensive applications
- Performance evaluation, modeling, simulation and prediction of IaaS clouds and
their relation to IoT (including cost and price models)
- Programming models, tools, orchestration techniques and workflows involving
Cloud and IoT systems
- Cloud Computing deployment models
- Cloud, edge and fog storage and I/O
- Cloud services for the Internet of Things
- Scalability issues of IoT systems
- Emerging techniques in Edge and Fog Computing
- Autonomous control in Internet of Things, multi-clouds and software defined
networks


Submission guidelines
=====================
Authors are required to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on
infrastructure clouds and their applications. Submitted manuscripts should not
exceeding 8 pages in the Conference proceedings format ( double-column, 10pt).
The special session applies double-bind review: the paper should not contain
authors’ names and affiliations; in the reference list, references to the
authors’ own work entries should be substituted with the string "omitted for
blind review”.

Submission site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2018
Please note, as the first step of the submission procedure, authors must pick
the cloud special session in order to be considered for inclusion within the
session.

All accepted papers will be included in the same volume as the main conference's
material, and they will be published by the Conference Publishing Services
(CPS). The Final Paper Preparation and Submission Instructions will be published
after the notification of acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to
register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will
be submitted to IEEE explore, CDSL, and for indexing among others, to DBLP,
Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.
