Submissions at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cloudam2017

CloudAM2017 The Clouds and Applications Management workshop invites
authors to submit original and unpublished work. Authors are requested
to submit papers electronically. Submitted manuscripts should be
structured as technical papers and may not exceed 6 letter size (8.5 x
11) pages including figures, tables and references using the templates
available at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template,
which include an optional free collaborative cloud-based LaTeX
authoring tool.

Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper.
All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be
published in IEEE Xplore.
Selected (extended) papers should be invited to submit to a high
quality Journal special issue.

DESCRIPTION

Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications
are currently hot topics
and have been generating substantial interest in the community, and it
is anticipated that this
interest will expand. It is also important to the research community
as it is challenging
traditional methods by its sheer size and high level of automation.
Clouds must provide
appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users,
and those clouds
are accessed through virtualized wide area networks. Management
systems are essential
for that and thereby for the future success of the cloud paradigm. New
systems, methods, and
approaches for cloud, virtualization and (eScience) applications
management are to be discussed
at this workshop.

For the CloudAM 2017 workshop, researchers from Clouds and (eScience)
Applications communities are encouraged to submit and present original
work to be considered for publication. Overall topics of interest
include but are not limited to:
* Cloud computing environments
* Cloud service orchestration
* Cloud APIs and usage control
* Cloud data management
* Cloud scalable monitoring
* Cloud load balancing
* Multi-cloud/Inter-clouds
* Customer cloud management
* Managing data centers
* Management as a service
* Management of virtual slices
* *aaS Management
* Application and Management Portals
* Cloud scheduling
* Hybrid clouds
* Fog computing
* Cloud case studies
* Cloud surveys and taxonomies
* Social clouds
* Accounting and economic models for clouds
* Managing cloud services
* Management of virtualized hardware resources
* Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud access
* Performance modeling & evaluation
* QoS/QoE management in the cloud
* Management tools for infrastructure virtualization
* Automated resource slicing
* Integration of the wireless and optical domains
* Policy driven service/resource life-cycle management
* Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure
* Optimization of data center and workload energy consumption
* Green cloud computing
* Scientific workflows on clouds
* Mobile clouds
* Big data / complex event processing in the cloud
* Autonomic cloud computing
* Cloud – IoT/Smart Cities integration
