Call For Papers

The 22nd IEEE/ACM international Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet
Computing (CCGrid 2022) is a leading forum to disseminate and discuss
research
activities and results on a broad range of topics in distributed systems,
ranging from computing Clusters to widely distributed Clouds and emerging
Internet computing paradigms such as Fog/Edge Computing for Internet of
Things (IoT)/Big Data applications. The conference features keynotes,
technical
presentations, posters, workshops, tutorials, as well as the SCALE challenge
featuring live demonstrations and the ICFEC 2022 conference.
