Call for Papers
           The 2nd International Conference on Cloud Computing
                            (CloudComp2010)

                 Barcelona, Spain, October 25 - 28, 2010
=======================================================================
Conference Scope:
-----------------

Cloud Computing is an emerging computing paradigm envisioned to change
all IT landscape facets including technology, business, services and
human resources. It is a consumer/delivery model that offers IT
capabilities as services, billed based on usage. Many such cloud
services can be envisioned, but the main ones are IaaS (Infrastructure-
as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), and SaaS (Software-as-a-
Service). The underlying cloud architecture includes a pool of
virtualized compute, storage and networking resources that can be
aggregated and launched as platforms to run workloads and satisfy their
Service-Level Agreement (SLA). Cloud architectures also include
provisions to best guarantee service delivery for clients and at the
same time optimize efficiency of resources of providers. Examples of
provisions include, but not limited to, elasticity through scaling
resources up/down to track workload behavior, extensive monitoring,
failure mitigation, and energy optimizations. The two main technologies
enabling clouds are: (i) Virtualization, the foundation of clouds; and
(ii) Manageability (autonomics), the command and control of clouds.

CloudComp is intended to bring together researchers, developers, and
industry professionals to discuss clouds, cloud computing and related
ecosystems support. To that end, papers are solicited from all cloud
related areas, including, but not limited to:

1. Cloud architectures and provisions to optimize providers'
    environments while guaranteeing clients' SLAs.
2. Programming models, applications and middleware suitable for dynamic
    cloud environments.
3. End-to-end techniques for autonomic management of cloud resources
    including monitoring, asset management, process automation and
    others.
4. New cloud delivery models, models' optimizations and associated
    architectural changes.
5. New cloud economic and billing models.
6. Cloud security, privacy and compliance challenges.
7. Toolkits, frameworks and processes to enable clouds and allow
    seamless transitions from traditional IT environments to clouds.
8. Experiences with existing cloud infrastructure, services and uses.
9. Novel human interfaces and browsers for accessing clouds.
10.Interaction of mobile computing, mCommerce and Clouds.

Cloud Computing conference is sponsored by ICST (Institute for Computer
Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering).
