HotCloud brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry working on cloud computing technologies. There are many challenges in the design, implementation, and deployment of cloud computing, such as automated service provisioning, service monitoring and management, resource elasticity and interference/isolation between users, cloud programming models, economic models, charging and accounting, and service creation using virtual appliances.
We believe that cloud computing will benefit from close interaction between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new research. In support of this, HotCloud will provide a forum for both academics and practitioners to share their experience, leverage each other's perspectives, and identify new/emerging "hot" trends in this important area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Platform as a service * Software as a service * Infrastructure as a service * Elasticity and availability in a cloud * Multi-tenancy * Storage cloud * Charging models and economics * Power-efficient ("green") computing for clouds * Monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure recovery * Cloud management and configuration * Programming models * Virtual appliance management and composition * Security and privacy in clouds * New applications for clouds * Mobile clouds * Cloud usage scenarios

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
