SCOPE

Cloud computing has become popular because of cost, agility, scale, and
flexibility. At the same time, the use of flexible analytic platforms such
as
Hadoop, Spark, etc. have grown in popularity and are being used to drive
the
computational side of many types of workloads. Many are now starting to
bring
these two together to drive efficient deployment of analytic capabilities
which can specifically leverage the flexibility and agility of Cloud
delivery.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and
practitioners in analytics and cloud computing an end-to-end view on the
challenges and opportunities of cloud-based analytics, and enable idea
sharing.

platforms leveraging cloud delivery technologies. Topics of interest
include,
but are not limited to, the following:

- Cloud Analytic Models and Platforms
- Managed Container Technologies
- Spark and in memory computing
- End-to-end cloud analytics solutions
- Efficient Cloud Deployment of Analytic Frameworks
- Hybrid Cloud Analytics
