IMPORTANT DATES
=================================

- Special Session Paper submission: June 16th, 2014
- Notification: August 1st, 2014
- Final Paper: August 15th, 2014

Cloud Computing has emerged as new infrastructure to share services like 
’SaaS’ (Software as a Service), ’PaaS’ (Platform as a Service) or IaaS’ 
(Infrastructure as a Service). However different issues remain to 
improve the usage : resources provisioning and scheduling, network 
reliability and energy consumption has to be saved as much as possible.
The special session is focused on new tools for the cloud and its use.
This special session addresses different main topics of the IEEE 
CloudNet 2014 conference : Cloud Traffic Characterization and 
Measurements, Green Data Centers and Cloud Networking, Mobile Cloud 
Networking and Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure.
The main topics to be covered by this special session include (but are 
not limited to):
-Energy efficiency in cloud
-Proportional computing in cloud
-Virtual machine management
-Simulation of cloud
-Benchmarks for the cloud
-Heterogeneous execution in cloud, hybrid cloud
-Resources provisioning and scheduling
-Quality of service in cloud
-Cloud network
-Autonomic computing for cloud applications
-Cloud middleware
-Using models at runtime
-Provisioning and brokering tools
-Tools and simulators for the cloud
