WELCOME TO iScaleCloud 2015!
The iScaleCloud'2015 workshop is scheduled on October 27, 2015 and will be held at HangZhou, China. It is collocated with IEEE CIC conference.
Internet-scale cloud data centers, such as those run by Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, provide the next generation computing platforms for many emerging services, such as tele-work, e-government, and business solutions to millions of individuals distributed across the Internet and host tens of thousands of servers. Many small and medium enterprises (SME) have great potential to benefit the economic incentives when using aforementioned internet-scale cloud computing platforms for their business applications. However, there are challenges associated with every new technology.
Interoperability, communication, performance, and security are the four major critical issues that need to be addressed when applications are deployed in internet-scale clouds. Same is the case for the internet-scale cloud platforms that would manage large number of shared and disparate services. Various quality requirements, such as availability, security, economic cost, energy efficiency, and so forth determine the quality of service of internet-scale cloud applications and platforms.
iScaleCloud brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world to share their experiences on the challenges and problems faced in applications deployed in internet-scale cloud. This event will define protocols and standards that need to be set in place for improving cloud computing technologies and making cloud a new and attractive paradigm for various applications.
The topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to:
- Enabling application services across Clouds
- Novel cloud usage models
- High consistency models for cloud storage
- Innovative cloud service models
- Support for scalable and secure across Clouds
- Architectural Models for multi-Cloud deployment
- Security, privacy, and trust for cloud computing
- Multi-Cloud/hybrid-Cloud support for mobile applications
- Applications making use of collaboration in Clouds, including games and social networks
- Cloud-enabled Social Computing
- Social and Social/Mobile Cloud models and challenges
- Collaborative Big Data systems
- Scientific, Business, and social computing in single and multi-Cloud environment
- Challenges for collaboration in Clouds
