****** CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL TRACK ******
CCC: Cross-Cloud Computing
along with
BUSTECH 2020, The Tenth International Conference on Business Intelligence and Technology https://www.iaria.org/conferences2020/BUSTECH20.html April 26, 2020 - April 30, 2020 - France
****** SCOPE ****** Multi-cloud computing promises to deliver various benefits, which include the avoidance of vendor lock-in, better proximity to customers and improved application performance. To this end, we currently see a trend towards developing and managing multi-cloud applications which is also evident from the advent of proprietary, multi-cloud platforms like Anthos from Google. However, such platforms are still not mature enough to cover the whole lifecycle of multi-cloud applications. Further, cross-cloud computing represents another promising opportunity enabling applications to be managed across different clouds which comes with the extra benefits of application performance optimisation, extended security level establishment and enhanced flexibility for application adaptation. Unfortunately, with the exceptions of some prototype research platforms, cross-cloud applications are not facilitated at all during their development and provisioning. Last but not least, we also observe additional obstacles, which include the inability to deal with multiple levels of abstraction as well as the negligence of high-level business requirements during the whole application management. These obstacles need to be overcome to realise the vision of optimal cross-cloud applications which can change cloud services on demand to better sustain the service levels that have been promised.
In this respect, there is currently a research gap towards designing, realising and managing cross-cloud applications. CCC special track of BUSTECH foresees the submission of both theoretical and technical contributions which attempt to close this gap as well as promote new ideas to further boost the adoption of multi- & cross-cloud computing and to even evolve it in a more promising form.
