"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:

Topics include but are not limited to:
* Auditing, monitoring and scheduling
