*Overview *

Cloud platforms and services present common and cross-cutting multiple
management challenges and autonomic computing systems address these
challenges by integrating monitoring, decision-processing, and actuation
capabilities based on high-level policies. The workshops co-located with
ICCAC 2017 conference (in addition to the poster session, panel, and
keynote speakers) would like to bring together researchers and
practitioners to address the multiple facets of cloud and autonomic
computing. Therefore, for the workshops below, we would like you to
consider submitting your ongoing work that has not been published before
and includes original work, and may not be under consideration for another
workshop, conference, or journal. Accepted papers must be presented at the
workshop to be included in the proceedings in IEEEXplore.
The IEEE Workshop on Automation of Cloud Configuration and Operations (ACCO)

*Scope and Topics *

·        Dynamic configuration of cloud system resources to improve
performance, security, and availability.
