The "Cloud" is a natural evolution of distributed computing and of the
widespread adaption of virtualization and Service-Oriented Architectures 
(SOA).
In Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided 
as
services, via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without requiring 
detailed
knowledge of the underlying technology.

**IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing Technology & Science 
2016**
will be the 8th in the series of conferences, steered by the Cloud 
Computing
Association, that brings together researchers, developers and users 
interested
in cloud computing systems to present and discuss the needs of, and 
innovations
in, the area and related technologies.
