We would like to draw your attention to the Cloud Interoperability - CI 2013
(held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Cloud
Computing and Services Science- CLOSER 2013), whose submission deadline is
scheduled for March 1, 2013. 

Cloud interoperability is one of the most challenging aspects of cloud
computing. For the final user, interoperability means the possibility of
migrating from one IaaS provider to another, or to manage in a seamless way
the resources provided by distinct providers: thus the risk of being locked
to a given provider is avoided, and cloud operation is made more reliable
and secure. For the intermediate provider that offers value added services
using a cloud infrastructure, interoperability means the possibility to
offer the same service using different providers, without redesigning the
application each time. Being the cloud a fast evolving creature,
standardization proposals must be extremely flexible and not bound to
current technologies or short term visions, while being simple to adhere to.
As an alternative, some propose the design of intermediate layers that work
as adapters for distinct providers.

We invite practitioners, researchers and industry representatives to submit
original ideas to the Closer Special Session on Cloud Interoperability: we
will consider with special interest articles that:

- demonstrate the impact of Cloud Interoperability with well documented use
cases and experiments, 
- formalize aspects of cloud operation that are relevant for
interoperability 

- describe standardization initiatives that aim at Cloud Interoperation.


The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and
Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC),
co-organized with the Aachen University (RWTH) and technically sponsored by
the SINTEF and IFIP. INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition
(WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG).

 

The purpose of the 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and
Services Science, CLOSER 2013, focuses on the emerging area of Cloud
Computing, inspired by some latest advances that concern the infrastructure,
operations, and available services through the global network. Further, the
conference considers as essential the link to Services Science,
acknowledging the service-orientation in most current IT-driven
collaborations. The conference is nevertheless not about the union of these
two (already broad) fields, but about Cloud Computing where we are also
interested in how Services Science can provide theory, methods and
techniques to design, analyze, manage, market and study various aspects of
Cloud Computing.

 

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. 

All papers accepted to the Special Session will be published in a special
section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, on
paper and on CD-ROM.

 

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters
Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier
Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at
the SCITEPRESS Digital Library ( <http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/>
http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef
( <http://www.crossref.org/> http://www.crossref.org/).

 

CLOSER 2013 will be held in conjunction with WEBIST 2013 (9th International
Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies -
http://www.webist.org/), SMARTGREENS 2013 (International Conference on Smart
Grids and Green IT Systems -  <http://www.smartgreens.org/>
http://www.smartgreens.org/) and CSEDU 2013 (International Conference on
Computer Supported Education -  <http://www.csedu.org/>
http://www.csedu.org/) in Aachen, Germany. 

Registration to CLOSER will enable free attendance to any sessions of
WEBIST, SMARTGREENS and CSEDU conferences as a non-speaker.
