CALL FOR POSTERS & DEMOS
=========================

IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing
UCC 2015 - Posters Track

http://cyprusconferences.org/ucc2015/?page_id=979

Cloud Computing delivers computational resources on-demand as services
that are commoditized and delivered analogous to traditional utilities
such as electricity, gas, water and telephony. Cloud service offerings for
compute, storage and communication resources as well as for hosted
software and data are growing at a tremendous rate, and it is essential to
understand how to effectively transform these services into Utilities that
provide value to both users and providers. There is also increasing
interest from commercial providers to offer business and revenue models
around the services they offer. Understanding how these models could be
used to provide utility for users, intermediary brokers (aggregators) and
providers is also an area of active research. UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM
conference covering all areas related to Cloud Computing as a Utility and
provides an international forum for leading researchers and practitioners
in this important and growing field. UCC 2015, to be held in Cyprus, will
happen as Cloud providers worldwide add new services and increase Cloud
utility at an accelerated pace, and Cloud service users explore new usage
modes.

UCC 2015 is the 8th UCC in a successful conference series. UCC 2015
happens while cloud providers worldwide add new services and increase
utility at an accelerated pace and is therefore of high relevance for both
academic and industrial research. Authors are invited to submit original
unpublished research posters and demos to the UCC 2015 conference.

The submission areas of interest for posters and demos include but are not
limited to:

-Big Data and Analytics
-Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing, including
pricing and service models
-Policy languages and Programming models
-Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds
-Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid,
federated, aggregated
-Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services
at all layers (XaaS)
-Virtualization technologies and other enablers
-Economic models and scenarios of use
-Scalability and resource management: brokering, scheduling, capacity
planning, parallelism and elasticity, as well as marketplaces
-Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, performance models
and monitoring
-Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e-science)
and business
-Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds
-Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as
security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction especially in Utility contexts


Poster presentation:

The authors of accepted posters will be given a 3-minutes time slot to
present their work, following the three minutes thesis (3MT) style, at the
UCC 2015 Poster Session. The authors will also present their posters and
discuss their research with the conference attendees and visitors in the
poster exhibition session. The recommended poster size is A0 (33.1 x 46.8
in, portrait).

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are required to submit a 2-page short paper describing the
poster/demo content, research, relevance and importance to the cloud
computing community. If accepted, these 2-page short papers will be
published in the proceedings of the conference. Participants will be able
to display the poster and showcase the demo during the conference. Authors
are invited to submit their contributions electronically through
EasyChair:
