CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE SC2 2018

The 8th IEEE International Symposium on Cloud and Services Computing (IEEE SC2) 2018

Paris, France November 6 - 9, 2018 https://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/~cerin/sc2iovsoca2018.html *Submission Deadline: July 14, 2018*

Dear Colleagues:

We cordially invite you to share your latest research results at the SC2 2018 Conference.

---------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------

The Cloud is a natural evolution of distributed computing and the widespread adaption of virtualization and SOA. Services computing is a new cross-discipline subject that covers the science and technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and IT services. In cloud computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as services, via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology.

IEEE SC2 2018 is an important forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IT-driven cloud computing technologies and services, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions of cloud and services computing.

IEEE SC2 2018 will be co-located with IEEE SOCA 2018, IOV 2018 in Paris, France. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Cloud architecture - Cloud OS, middleware, and toolkits - Fog / Edge Computing - Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies and Contracts - Cloud Storage architecture - Big data infrastructure, systems, methodologies, and applications - Virtualization techniques - Resource provision, monitoring, and scheduling - Privacy and access control for cloud computing - Performance evaluation and modeling measurement for cloud computing - Programming models for building cloud applications - Networking in cloud computing - Security, privacy and trustworthy in clouds - Security, privacy and trustworthy for service oriented architectures and systems - Energy efficient hardware and software solutions - High availability and reliability - Large scale cloud applications - Internet/web computing and data mining - Volunteer and utility computing - Green and pervasive computing - Service oriented architecture - Discovery of services and data in cloud computing infrastructures - Foundations of services computing - Services-centric business models - Business process integration and management

------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------ Workshop/Special Session Proposal May 30, 2018 Workshop/Special Session Notification June 15, 2018 Paper Submission Deadline July 14, 2018 Acceptance Notification August 15, 2018 Registration Deadline September 15, 2018 Camera-Ready Submission September 15, 2018

------------------------------------------ PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit their original research work that has not previously been submitted or published in any other venue. Papers should be prepared in IEEE format and submitted via the SC2 2018 submission site : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sc22018

Research paper (8 pages) should explore a specific technology problem and propose a complete solution to it, with experimental results.

Works-in-Progess (WIP) (6 pages) papers are expected to present either work currently in progress or less developed but highly innovative ideas.

Demo/Poster papers (4 pages) must describe working systems and be related to SC2. These systems may be innovative prototype implementations or mature systems that use related technology. Papers/proposals need to be submitted to the Demo/Poster track.

Workshop and Special Session papers (6 pages) need to be submitted to the corresponding workshops and special sessions.

--------------------------------- PUBLICATION HIGHLIGHTS ---------------------------------

All accepted papers in the main tracks, workshops, special sessions and demos/posters will be published in IEEE CS proceedings (EI indexed). Extended versions of selected excellent papers will be considered for publication in special issues of prestige journals (SCI/EI indexed).

IEEE CS proceedings, indexed by - IEEE Xplore - Scopus - Compendex EI - ACM Digital Library - DBLP - Google Scholar
