Call for Posters

The International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) is the
premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to cloud computing
as a utility and provides an international forum for leading researchers
and practitioners in this important and growing field. UCC 2016, to be held
in Shanghai (China), is the 9th event in a successful conference series.
UCC 2016 will happen as cloud computing consolidates worldwide as the 21st
century utility, and is therefore of high relevance for both academic
research and industrial innovation. Authors are invited to submit original
unpublished research posters and demos to the UCC 2016 conference.

The submission areas of interest for posters and demos include but are not
limited to:

Big Data and Analytics
Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing, including
