Dear Gustaf Neumann,

Let me kindly inform you that the 4th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER 2014 - http://closer.scitevents.org) steering committee cordially invites you to submit a paper to the CLOSER 2014 Conference, to be held in Barcelona, Spain. The deadline for paper submission is scheduled for October 2, 2013.

CLOSER 2014 will be held in Barcelona, Spain, April 3 - 5, 2014.

The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), held in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems (ACM SIGMIS) and technically sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). INSTICC is Member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Object Management Group (OMG). The Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS) is the Logistics Partner of the conference.

CLOSER is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 142 submissions, 18% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 17% were presented as short papers and 20% as posters.

We would like to highlight the presence of the following keynote speakers:
 - Helge Meinhard, CERN, IT Department, Switzerland
 - Paulo Goncalves, INRIA-RESO, LIP, Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, France
 - Ignacio Martin Llorente, OpenNebula Director and CEO & Full Professor at UCM, Spain


Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper 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/). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://closer.scitevents.org/BestPaperAward.aspx).

We also would like to highlight the possibility to submit to the following Special Session, whose deadline is scheduled for January 21, 2014:
- Special Session On Federated Cloud Governance (FedCloudGov)

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

CLOSER 2014 will be held in conjunction with CSEDU (http://www.csedu.org), SMARTGREENS (http://www.smartgreens.org) and WEBIST (http://www.webist.org) in Barcelona, Spain. Registration to CLOSER will enable free attendance to any sessions of CSEDU, SMARTGREENS and WEBIST conferences as a non-speaker.
