management, and many more. By providing an understanding of the research
challenges ahead and by fostering multi-disciplinary research
collaborations, the ambition is to shape the future of cloud management.
Expected attendees are leading researchers from any scientific discipline
with potential to contribute to this multidisciplinary topic.
