CALL FOR PAPERS 4th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science– CLOSER 2014 Website: http://closer.scitevents.org April 3 - 5, 2014 Barcelona, Spain Regular Papers Regular Paper Submission: October 2, 2013 Regular Paper Authors Notification: January 16, 2014 Regular Paper Camera Ready and Registration: January 30, 2014 Sponsored by: INSTICC-Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication INSTICC is Member of: WfMC - Workflow Management Coaliton OMG - Object Management Group Logistics Partner: SCITEVENTS – Science and Technology Events Scope: The 4th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science, CLOSER 2014, focuses on the emerging area of Cloud Computing, inspired by some latest advances that concern the infrastructure, operations, and available services through the global network. Further, the conference considers as essential the link to Services Science, acknowledging the service-orientation in most current IT-driven collaborations. The conference is nevertheless not about the union of these two (already broad) fields, but about Cloud Computing where we are also interested in how Services Science can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage, market etc. Cloud Computing. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS SMARTGREENS 2014 will have several invited keynote speakers, who are internationally recognized experts in their areas. Their names are not yet confirmed. PUBLICATIONS All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library.
