-------------------------- IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2014 --------------------------
14th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing

May 26-29, 2014
Chicago, IL, USA

http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/CCGrid2014/

Rapid advances in architectures, networks, and systems and middleware
technologies are leading to new concepts and platforms for computing,
ranging from Clusters and Grids to Clouds and Datacenters. The 14th
Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium in Cluster, Cloud, and Grid
Computing (CCGrid 2014) is a forum bringing together international
researchers, developers, and practitioners to present leading research
activities and results on a broad range of topics related to these
concepts and platforms, and their applications. The conference features
keynotes, technical presentations, workshops, tutorials, and posters, as
well as the SCALE challenge featuring live demonstrations.

In 2014, CCGrid will return to the USA and be held in Chicago, the third
largest city in the United States. The main conference will be held on
May 27-29, 2014, with tutorials and affiliated workshops taking place on
May 26, 2014.

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in PDF format.
Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may
not exceed 10 letter-size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and
references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Submissions
not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. The
official language of the conference is English. All manuscripts will be
reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the
conference attendees.

Paper submissions are limited to 10 pages in 2-column IEEE format
including all figures and references. Submitted manuscripts exceeding
this limit will be returned without review. For the final camera-ready
version, authors with accepted papers may purchase additional pages at
the following rates: 100 USD for each of the first two additional pages;
200 USD for each of the third and fourth additional pages.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not
currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further
action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to
the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the
conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding the page
limit, or not appropriately structured may not be considered. Authors may
contact the conference chairs for more information. The proceedings will
be published through the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA, and will be
made available online through the IEEE Digital Library.

The paper submission online system is open 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ccgrid2014.

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing (TCC: http://computer.org/TCC) is
organizing a Special Issue which encourages submission of revised and
extended versions of 2-3 best/top rated papers in the area of Cloud
Computing from our conference. The special issue also seeks direct
submission of papers that present 'new' ideas for the first time in TCC.
All papers will be peer-reviewed and selected competitively based on
their originality and merit as per requirement of TCC. All queries on
this special issue should be directed to its guest editors. Details on
this special issue will be informed about in a separate Call for Papers at
http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tccsi_apbdac.pdf.

CALL FOR TUTORIAL, WORKSHOP PROPOSALS, AND POSTERS
Tutorials and workshops affiliated with CCGrid 2014 will be held on May
26, 2014. Poster presentations will be done during the main conference
dates between May 27th and May 29th 2014. For more information on the
