* About CloudCom 2009

"Cloud" is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible infrastructure (e.g. data storage and computing hardware) which is hidden from users. Cloud Computing makes data truly mobile and a user can simply access a chosen cloud with any internet accessible device. In Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities are provided as services, accessible without requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology. Thus, many mature technologies are used as components in Cloud Computing, but still there are many unresolved and open problems. This conference and workshop series, steered by the Cloud Computing Association ( www.cloudcom.org ), aims to bring together researchers who work on cloud computing and related technologies. Topics include but are not limited to:

 * Cloud/Grid architecture
 * Load balancing
 * Optimal deployment configuration
 * Consistency models
 * Virtualization technologies
 * Middleware frameworks
 * Software as a Service (SaaS)
 * Hardware as a Service (HaaS)	
 * Data grid & Semantic web 
 * Web services
 * Security and Risk
 * Fault tolerance and reliability
 * Auditing, monitoring and scheduling
 * Utility computing
 * High-performance computing
 * Peer to peer computing

Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (EI and ISTP indexed). After the conference, extended and revised versions of distinguished papers will be invited for possible publication in a special issue of the Journal of Computer Science and Technology (SCI-indexed)(pending). The conference workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE (pending).
