Special Session at CLOSER (and why it's not in my plans)
by Augusto Ciuffoletti 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

A member of this WG asked me yesterday whether I was about to launch another Special Session at the upcoming CLOSER. Indeed, I have considered and discarded this option, and the reasons are the following: -) cost: the registration fee at CLOSER is high, and we do not have enough return from such investment, since -) we might as well publish our research elsewhere, maybe in higher impact conferences/journals and -) publishing to several distinct conferences/journals in open sessions would finally improve OCCI outreach: as a matter of fact the audience of the last Special Session was mostly made of WG members. So, the past experience was fine but we might look for alternatives as well, and I propose: -) a no-fee un-conference on our own: we have a rather active meetup group about Cloud Computing here in Trentino, and they would certainly appreciate. But Pisa is fine too. This is what I can put on the plate; -) run for a OCCI-specific workshop at a higher level conference (IEEE or the like). But I do not see much improvement wrt CLOSER SS. So that's it... Bye to everybody and best wishes for a great 2017. Augusto -- Augusto Ciuffoletti Dipartimento di Informatica Università di Pisa 56100 - Pisa (Italy)
