Cloud computing presents new economic and flexible business and technological models. The explosive uptake of Cloud solutions has fuelled the growth of Cloud services. However, to support Cloud providers and users, it is critical that sourcing decisions are informed through some system of Cloud service analytics. The 1st Cloud Service Analytics Workshop (CSAW) will provide an interactive and focused platform for presenting and discussing new and emerging ideas on Cloud service analytics. This workshop focuses on linking some of the latest research in business and I.T to explore how we can examine the value of Cloud service environments. This workshop provides a platform to exchange state-of-the-art research and practice in Cloud service analytics and explore emerging or overarching trends within the field of Cloud computing. Topics: ? Cloud Computing Analytics ? Service Key Performance Indicators ? Cloud Performance Modelling and Management ? IT Service Management and Cloud ? Service and Technology Capabilities ? Service Quality Metrics ? Cloud Service Performance ? Value Analysis of Cloud Environments ? Matching, compliance and alignment issues ? Service Capability Maturity Models ? Monitoring and Reporting Business Value across Service Networks ? Cloud Service Quality Frameworks ? Service and Technology Standards for the Cloud 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 accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings book, under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support. 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.
