​Call for Papers:​

​Cloud computing, as well as Cloud-inspired business models, enable
on-demand access to a shared pool of resources, namely computing, storage,
networks, services, and applications. With the advent of Cloud-based
systems, cloud operators have been aiming at reliable, secured,
privacy-preserving and cost-efficient cloud design and management. As the
Cloud infrastructure aims at offering various IT resources as services,
requirements of Cloud applications vary based on the resources which are
requested as services. Thus, the resources may refer to heavy computation
resources, massive storage resources, and high-capacity network resources
and so on. The heterogeneity of cloud applications leads to the challenge
of holistic design of a robust Cloud system which can oversee and handle
the diverse needs of numerous types of applications. On the other hand,
these challenges enforce cooperation of various players in the Cloud
system, each of which focuses on a different segment such as network,
computing, applications, and systems. The Fifth International Workshop on
Cloud Computing Systems, Networks, and Applications (CCSNA-2016) aims at
the crossroads between scientists, researchers, practitioners and students
from diverse domains in Cloud computing research. The Workshop aims at
attracting contributions of system and network design that can support
existing and future applications and services. Researchers are encouraged
to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which
include, but not limited to:
* Cloud system and network design
* Cloud network protocol design and management
* Optimization for cloud computing, networking, and applications
* Green cloud system design
* Cloud storage design and networking
* Cloud system and storage security
* Cloud network virtualization techniques
* Modeling for cloud system, network and storage
* Performance analysis for cloud system, network and storage
* Big data storage and networking in the Clouds
* Intra-cloud computing and networking
* Mobile Cloud system design
* Cloud media and storage design
* Real-time resource reporting and monitoring for cloud management
* Cloud system interoperability
* Cloud data center design
* Utility computing solutions in Cloud systems
* Cloud forensics
Submission Procedure
Submitted papers must represent original material which is not currently
under review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously
published. Paper length should not exceed five-page standard IEEE
conference two-column format (including all text, figures, and references).
Please see the Author Information page for submission guidelines in the
IEEE GLOBECOM 2016 website http://www.ieee-globecom.org. All submitted
papers will go through a peer review process. All accepted and presented
papers will be included in the IEEE GLOBECOM 2016 proceedings and IEEE
digital library. IEEE reserves the right to exclude an accepted and
registered but not presented paper from the IEEE digital library.
