Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit papers for the Third International Conference on Cloud and Green Computing (CGC), Sept 30th to Oct 2nd, Karlsruhe, Germany

**** Overview **** Cloud computing is positioning itself as an emerging platform for delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or individuals) can provision and deploy Cloud services via pay-as-you-go pricing models saving huge capital investments in their own IT infrastructures. The paradigm has attracted international interest with many open challenges such as security and privacy. Green computing, in general, aims to enable computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. With dramatically increasing demand on computing and storage systems, IT infrastructures have been scaled tremendously which results in huge energy consumptions, heat dissemination, greenhouse emissions and potentially also climate change. As such, green computing challenges the community for energy efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for modern computing infrastructures. These two domains meet at the challenge of making modern (Cloud) computing infrastructures environmentally friendly, sustainable and efficient with respect to their energy consumption.
CGC (Cloud and Green Computing) was created to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to exchange the latest advances in Cloud and Green computing as well as their synergy.
**** Scope and Topics of Interest **** Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: Fundamentals of cloud computing Architectural cloud models Programming cloud models Provisioning/pricing cloud models Data storage and computation in cloud computing Resource and large-scale job scheduling in cloud computing Security, privacy, trust, risk in cloud computing Fault tolerance and reliability in cloud computing Access control to cloud computing Resource virtualisation Monitoring and auditing in cloud Scalable and elastic cloud services Social computing and impacts on the cloud Innovative HCI and touch-screen models and technologies to cloud Mobile commerce and e-markets on cloud Intelligent/agent-based cloud computing Migration of business applications to cloud Cloud use case studies Volume, Velocity and Variety of Big Data on Cloud Resource scheduling and SLA for Big Data on Cloud Storage and computation management of Big Data on Cloud Large-scale scientific workflow in support of Big Data processing on Cloud Big Data mining and analytics Visualisation of Big Data on Cloud MapReduce for processing Big Data Distributed file storage of Big Data in clouds Big Data use cases on clouds Fundamentals of green computing Energy aware software, hardware and middleware Energy efficient IT architecture Energy efficient resource scheduling and optimisation Energy efficient clustering and computing Large-scale energy aware data storage and computation Energy aware control, monitoring and HCI design Energy efficient networking and operation Energy efficient design of VLSI and micro-architecture Intelligent energy management Green data centres, Green IT and Green IS Energy aware resource usage and consumption Smart grids and virtual power stations Energy policy, social behaviour and government management Teleworking, tele-conferences and virtual meeting Low power electronics and energy recycling Green computing case studies Energy efficiency in the Internet of Things Energy efficient cloud architectures Energy aware data storage, computation, scheduling, monitoring, auditing in cloud computing
**** Important Dates **** Abstract Submission: May 05th 2013 Paper Submission: May 12th 2013 Author Notification: July 10th 2013 Camera Ready: August 12th 2013
**** Submission Guidelines **** Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for full conference papers, 6 pages for short / work in progress papers, and 2 pages for posters, including all tables and figures in the IEEE CS format. The template files for LaTeX or Word can be downloaded from http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three program committee members. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submit your paper(s) as a PDF at the CGC2013 submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgc2013.
**** Publication **** Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press (Indexed by EI). Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers may be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference.
**** Distinguished Papers **** Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be published in special issues of high quality SCI indexed international journals: TBA
