FYI This and the other co-located workshop on cloud federation organized by Craig Lee and David Bernstein also at the UCC 2015 conference may be of interest. If there is interest in holding a Cloud Plugfest also at this conference in this timeframe, please let me know ASAP. Of course we encourage papers and presentations about OCCI and its uses in the field in various projects and products at all of these opportunities.

December 7-10, 2015 ************************************************************************* IMPORTANT DATES paper submission: 22 August 2015 notification of reviews: 15 September 2015 Camera ready papers due: 21 September 2015 Early registration deadline: 21 September 2015 Submissions at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cloudam2015 Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be published in IEEE Xplore. Selected (extended) papers should be invited to submit to a high quality Journal special issue. ************************************************************************* DESCRIPTION Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications are currently hot topics and have been generating substantial interest in the community and it is anticipated that this interest will expand. It is also important to the research community as it is challenging traditional methods by its sheer size and high level of automation. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those clouds are accessed through virtualized wide area networks. Management systems are essential for that and thereby for the future success of the cloud paradigm. New systems, methods, and approaches for cloud, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussed at this workshop. For the CloudAM 2015 workshop, researchers from the Clouds and (eScience) Applications communities are encouraged to submit and present original work to be considered for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Cloud computing environments - Cloud service orchestration - Cloud APIs and usage control - Cloud data management - Cloud scalable monitoring - Cloud load balancing - Cloud federation management - Customer cloud management - Managing data centers - Management as a service - Management of virtual slices - IaaS Management - Application and Management Portals - Cloud Scheduling - Hybrid Clouds - Accounting and economic models for clouds - Management of virtualized hardware resources - Managing cloud services - Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud access - Performance modeling and evaluation - QoS/QoE management in the cloud - Management tools for infrastructure virtualization - Automated resource slicing - Integration of the wireless and optical domains - Policy driven service/resource life-cycle management - Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure - Optimization of data center and workload energy consumption - Green Cloud Computing - Scientific Workflows on Clouds ************************************************************************* WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Bruno Schulze - LNCC, BR Luiz Bittencourt - UNICAMP, BR Rafael Tolosana-Calasanz - Unizar, ES TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (to be confirmed) David Abramson - Univ.
