[Luiz F. Bittencourt]

UCC 2022
15th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing
December 6-9, 2022 - Portland, Oregon, USA

The annual IEEE/ACM UCC conference is a premier international forum
for researchers, developers, and users to present, discuss and
exchange the cutting-edge ideas and latest findings on topics related
to Cloud Computing as a Utility.

UCC 2022 will be hosted at Washington State University. Portland,
Oregon’s largest city, sits on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, in
the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood. UCC 2022 offers a technical
program, workshops, tutorials, and a doctoral symposium. The event
will have a co-located 9th International Conference on Big Data
Computing Applications and Technologies (BDCAT 2022).

We invite you to submit your original contributions to UCC 2022
(https://ucc-conference.org/).
