CALL FOR PAPERS
*****************
Introduction:
-------------
Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services
that are
commoditized
and delivered in a manner similar to traditional utilities such as
water,
electricity,
gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on
their
requirements
without regard to where the services are hosted or how they are
delivered.
Several
computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing
vision and
these
include Grid computing, and more recently Cloud computing.
Cloud computing has recently emerged as one of the buzzwords in the
ICT
industry.
Several IT vendors are promising to offer storage, application and
computation
hosting
services, and provide coverage in several continents, offering
Service-Level
Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime promises for their
services.
While
these "clouds" are the natural evolution of traditional clusters and
data
centres, they
are distinguished by following a "utility" pricing model where
customers
are
charged
based on their utilisation of computational resources, storage and
transfer of
data.
These emerging services have reduced the cost of computation,
application
hosting and
content storage and delivery by several orders of magnitude, however
there is
significant complexity involved in ensuring applications, services
and
data can
scale
when needed to ensure consistent and reliable operation under peak
loads.
To provide a dedicated forum for sharing recent R&D advances and
industrial
innovations
in "Utility Computing" area, we have initiated this new conference
series
"International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing". This
conference
series has
emerged out of the past two
successful Cloud computing symposiums (Cloud 2009 held in Shanghai,
China; and
Cloud
2010 held in Melbourne, Australia) and focuses on both principles of
"Utility
computing"
and its practical realisation in industry in different forms
including
Cloud
Computing.

Best Paper Award:
-----------------
A best paper award sponsored by Manjrasoft Pty. Ltd, Australia will
be
presented
to a
paper receiving the highest quality rating from the Program
Committee and
external
reviewers. In addition, a special issue in a high quality
international
journal
will
be organised for selected best papers.
PAPER SUBMISSION:
----------------
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted
manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not
exceed
8 ("eight") letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables
and
references
using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of
6-1/2
inches
(16.51 cm)
wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns
3-1/16
inches (7.85 cm)
wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced
10-point Times
fully
justified text). Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may
be
returned
without
review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make
sure
that
the file will
print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The
official
language
of the
meeting is English. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be
judged on
correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of
presentation, and
interest and
relevance to the conference attendees.
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that
is
not currently under review for any other conference or journal.
Papers
not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and
further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)
notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors
and
sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date,
exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not
be
considered. The proceedings will be published and will be made
online
through
the IEEE Xplore.
All papers should be submitted online using EasyChair submission
system:
