11th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2018)
December 17-20, 2018 - Zurich, Switzerland
Co-sponsored by IEEE TCSC & ACM SIGARCH / in-cooperation with ACM SIGHPC
Website: http://ucc-conference.org
Submissions: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucc2018
Context & Scope
-----------------------
Cloud Computing delivers computational resources on-demand as services
that are commoditized and delivered comfortably analogous to traditional
utilities such as electricity, gas, water and telephony. Cloud service
offerings for compute, storage and communication resources as well as
for hosted software and data are growing at a tremendous rate. It is
essential to understand how to effectively transform these services into
Utilities that provide value to both users and providers. There is also
increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and
revenue models around the services they offer. Understanding how these
models could be used to provide utility for users, intermediary brokers
(aggregators), and providers is also an area of active research. 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
2018, to be held in Zurich, Switzerland, reflects the need to bring
academics and industrial researchers together to discuss how to improve
existing services and how to bring new applications into the cloud. UCC
2018 offers a main conference track, a co-located BDCAT 2018 conference,
as well as workshops, tutorials, doctoral symposium and cloud challenge.
Separate calls exist for all satellite events.
History
---------
This will be the 11th UCC in a successful conference series of
community-driven events. Previous events were held in Shanghai, China
(Cloud 2009), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud
2010 & UCC 2011), Chicago, USA (UCC 2012), Dresden, Germany (UCC 2013),
London, UK (UCC 2014), Limassol, Cyprus (UCC 2015), Shanghai, China (UCC
2016), and Austin, USA (UCC 2017). Big Data Computing, Applications and
Technologies (BDCAT) and workshops will be co-located with UCC like for
the past several events.
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research manuscripts
that demonstrate current research in all areas of Cloud and Utility
computing, including design and analysis of distributed and centralized
Cloud systems, data centre design and engineering, economic and market
models for cloud systems, revenue and business models and their
applications in scientific and commercial deployments. Topics of
interest include but are not limited to:
Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds
Cloud business and legal implications beyond technology
Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services at all layers (XaaS)
Cloud large-scale foundations for Big Data, IoT, and real-time analytics
Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, and monitoring
Cloud-native application design and engineering
Cloud, Fog and edge/mobile devices management, hierarchy models, and business models
Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid, federated, aggregated
Economic and business models of Clouds and services
HPC and the Cloud
Innovative cloud applications and experiences
Integration of Cloud systems with edge and IoT devices
Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds
Networking for clouds and data centres
Performance analysis and modeling of cloud systems and applications
Policy languages and programming models
Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing
Resource management and scalability: brokering, scheduling, capacity planning, and elasticity
Security, trust and privacy in Clouds
Utility-driven platforms for Clouds
Utility-driven models and mechanisms for interclouds / federations
Virtualization, containerization, composition, orchestration and other enablers
Important Dates
---------------------
Paper submissions due: August 01, 2018
Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2018
Camera ready papers due: October 08, 2018
Early + author registration deadline: October 08, 2018
Conference: December 17-20, 2018
Manuscript guidelines
-----------------------------
Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may
not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point
size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including
figures, tables, and references. The proceedings will be published by
the IEEE Computer Society and will be made available online through the
IEEE Digital Library, as well as through the ACM Digital Library.
Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format. All manuscripts will
be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical
strength, rigour in analysis, quality of results, quality of
presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.
Papers conforming to the above guidelines can be submitted through the
UCC 2018 paper submission system
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucc2018).
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is
not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Further
details on the publication instructions and registration information
will be published on the UCC website.
Awards and Special Issues
------------------------------------
A selection commission chaired by the UCC 2018 TPC chairs will select
and acknowledge the best paper and best student paper to receive an
award during the conference.
Authors of highly rated papers from UCC 2018 will be invited to submit
an extended version to a special issue of a prestigious journal in the
area of utility and cloud computing which is currently being defined.
