| Aim/Scope/Research Area |
Cloud computing has attracted a great deal of attention both from the research community and from industry. The cloud computing paradigm has evolved over the years from a basic IT infrastructure (data centers) to platform as a service (PaaS), and then from software as a service (SaaS) to complete service enablement on a hosted infrastructure (IaaS). At the same time, virtualization has emerged as a key enabler for the cloud computing paradigm. Several challenges arise in the design, implementation,
and deployment of virtualized clouds. These challenges include but are not limited to automated service provisioning, service monitoring
and management, resource elasticity, cloud programming models, economic models, charging and accounting, and, finally, virtualization-specific issues such as image management and virtual appliance-based service creation.
We believe that this emerging field will benefit from close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new research directions. To foster such an experience, HotCloud will provide a forum for academics as well as practitioners in the field to share their experience, leverage each other’s perspectives, and identify new/emerging
“hot” trends in this area. We solicit six-page original/position/work-in-progress/experience papers on a broad range of topics that address fundamental issues in the enablement of applications, services, and infrastructures in a large-scale, virtualized cloud platform that includes deployment, monitoring, and management to address the issues of scale, reliability, root-cause analysis, dynamic resource planning, security and privacy, and new applications. We encourage the submission of position papers describing novel research directions, as well as those by leading researchers and industry experts describing practical experiences in these areas.
Topics Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Platform as a service• Software as a service• Infrastructure as a service• Elasticity and availability in a cloud• Multi-tenancy• Storage cloud• Charging models and economics• Power-efficient (“green”) computing for clouds• Virtual appliance management and composition• Monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure recovery• Cloud management and configuration• Programming models• Security and privacy in clouds• New applications for clouds• Mobile clouds• Cloud usag |
