The 9th IEEE International Symposium on Cloud and Service Computing Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Nov. 18-21, 2019 http://www.cs.ccu.edu.tw/~conference/sc2-2019/ http://www.cs.ccu.edu.tw/~conference/sc2-2019/

Dear Colleagues:

We cordially invite you to share your latest research results related to big data analytics and intelligence at the IEEE SC2 2019 conference. --------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------

The 'Cloud' is a natural evolution of distributed computing and the widespread adaption of virtualization and Service-Oriented Architecture (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.

SC2 2019 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 2019 welcomes paper submissions on innovative work from researchers in academia industry and government describing original research work in Big Data. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version (with at least 30% new material) for review and publication in special issues of international journals.

IEEE SC2 2019 will be held on Nov. 18-21, 2019, co-located with IEEE DataCom 2019, IEEE SOCA 2019 and IOV 2019, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. 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

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

Extended version of the selected papers will be invited for publication in prestigious international journals.

------------------------------------------ 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 CS format and submitted via The EasyChair system.

IEEE formatting information: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

- Proposals for organizing tutorials, workshops and special sessions need to be submitted to the Workshops Chair of the conference. A proposal should include title, theme, scope and main presenters/organizers.

- 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 Chair.

- Workshop and Special Session papers need to be submitted to the corresponding workshops and special sessions Chairs. All accepted papers in the main tracks, workshops, special sessions and demos/posters will be published in an IEEE Computer Society proceedings. Extended versions of selected excellent papers will be considered for publication in special issues of prestige journals (SCI/EI indexed).

------------------------------- BEST PAPER AWARDS ------------------------------- The award committee will select Best Paper/Poster Award(s) and present the winners with an actual frame Award Certificate at the conference banquet.
