OCCI on the First OpenNebula Conference (Countdown! - Closing Registration)
by Tino Vazquez 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

Dear OCCI members, As you may be aware, we are holding the first OpenNebula Conference [1] in Berlin, this 24-26 September. The conference is the perfect place to learn about practical Cloud Computing, aimed at cloud users, developers, executives and IT managers to help them tackle their computational and business challenges. The goal is to foster fruitful and educational discussions around Cloud Computing and OpenNebula. We think this is of special interests to OCCI users and developers, since OpenNebula is one of the reference implementations of the standard. Moreover, there is a dedicated talk to OCCI, by Boris Parak, that goes by the name of "rOCCI - Providing Interoperability through OCCI 1.1 Support for OpenNebula" [2]. Registration closing date is getting closer, so seize the moment and register now [3]! The conferences attendees will be in for a treat: * Keynotes speakers include Daniel Concepción from Produban – Bank Santander Group, Thomas Higon from Akamai, Steven Timm from FermiLab, André von Deetzen from Deutsche Post E-Post, Jordi Farrés from European Space Agency, Karanbir Singh from CentOS Project, and Ignacio M. Llorente and Rubén S. Montero from the OpenNebula Project. * The talks are organized in three tracks about user experiences and case studies, integration with other cloud tools, and interoperability and HPC clouds and include speakers from leading organizations like CloudWeavers, Terradue, NetWays, INRIA, BBC, inovex, AGS Group, Hedera, NetOpenServices, KTH, CESNET or CESCA. * The Hands-on Tutorial will show how to build, configure and operate your own OpenNebula cloud. * The Hacking and Open Space Sessions will provide an opportunity to discuss burning ideas, and meet face to face to discuss development. * The Lightning Talks will provide an opportunity to present new projects, products, features, integrations, experiences, use cases, collaboration invitations, quick tips or demonstrations. This session is an opportunity for ideas to get the attention they deserve. What's not to like? See you all at Berlin!

Final Call for Papers : Autonomic Clouds 2013, Dresden, Germany- Deadline September 10, 2013

The 3rd International Workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013) http://www.derby.ac.uk/computing/itaac2013 In association with The 6th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2013), December 9-12, 2013, Dresden, Germany Call for Papers Autonomic computing refers to principles and techniques for designing, building, deploying and managing computing systems with minimal human involvement. An autonomic system should be capable of adapting its behaviour to suit its context of use through methods of self-management, self-tuning, self-configuration, self-diagnosis, and self-healing. Autonomic approaches are particularly suitable for use in Cloud Computing systems, where rapid scalability is required across a pool of resources to support various unpredictable demands, and where the system should automatically adapt to avoid failures in the underlying hardware impacting on the user experience. Autonomic Clouds emerge as a result of applying autonomic computing techniques to Cloud Computing, resulting into robust, fault tolerant and easy to manage and operate cloud architectures and deployments. The application of intelligent approaches to Autonomic Clouds is gaining prominence in research and industry. Such intelligent approaches include evolutionary techniques, multi-objective and combinational optimization heuristics, genetic algorithms, neural networks, swarm intelligence, and multi-agents systems. Application of these intelligent approaches to Clouds can improve how computing systems and applications are built, used, managed and optimized, maximizing the benefits for users, applications and systems by reducing the operational, maintenance and usage costs of clouds. The interplay of intelligent approaches and Clouds offers numerous challenges. The international workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners across Cloud Computing, Intelligent Systems, and Autonomic Computing to discuss issues at the intersection of these disciplines. Key questions to be addressed include: How do emerging cloud architectures satisfy or contradict the vision of autonomic computing? How does the vision of autonomic computing satisfy the vision of self managing and self healing clouds? How do contemporary and emerging intelligent techniques support and enable both of these? Academics, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original work on the theory and practice of intelligent and autonomic clouds. Key topics Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Theory and foundations of Intelligent Clouds * Quality of Service and Intelligent Clouds * (auto)scaling of Clouds * Self-organizing, self-healing and self-managing Cloud systems * Intelligent deployment, configuration and maintenance approaches for Clouds * Agent based techniques for Clouds * Adaptive and Evolutionary Approaches for Clouds * Intelligent Cloud Workflows, Planning and Scheduling * Intelligent Cloud Resource Management and Discovery in Clouds * Autonomic Clouds of Sensors * Intelligent Management and Monitoring for Clouds * Intelligent approaches to Cloud Service Level Agreement satisfaction * Applications, Toolkits and frameworks for Intelligent and Autonomic Clouds * Advances in Intelligent Data Analysis due to Clouds Submissions that offer position statements, theoretical and industrial perspectives, lessons learned, comparisons, evaluations and technical contributions to intelligent autonomic clouds are also welcome.
