-------------------------------------------------------------------------------===== Deadline extension ===== Call for Papers First Optimising Cloud Services Workshop December 13, 2010 Ghent, Belgium http://www.optimis-project.eu to be held in conjunction with ServiceWave 2010 Conference December 13 - 15, 2010 Ghent, Belgium http://servicewave.eu/2010/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------DESCRIPTION Clouds are on the way to replace traditional IT infrastructures for providing and consuming all sorts of services in research and commercial environments. As scope and complexity of both offerings and requirements increase technology is needed allowing to optimise such Cloud environments in multiple dimensions, e.g. in terms of the infrastructure, management of trust, security and risk, service deployment and provisioning, guarantees for QoS, federation of clouds and reliable and efficient selection mechanisms for bursting into the Cloud. Today, there already is research in several areas as well as a number of ongoing national, international and European projects. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to exchange research results and experience.
TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest for the Optimising Cloud Services Workshop workshop include but are not limited to: -
Trust and security Risks, risk assessment and risk management QoS and service configuration Service deployment and service configuration Cloud monitoring and run-time optimisation License service for commercial applications Cloud programming models Cloud Service Level Agreements
PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers are expected to be published in the Springer Service Science series after the workshop.
