FYI... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: HotCloud '10 Submission Deadline Approaching Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 09:16:00 -0700 From: Lionel Garth Jones <lgj@usenix.org> We're writing to remind you that submission deadline for the 2nd USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Cloud Computing (HotCloud '10) program committee is approaching. Please submit your work by Tuesday, March 23, 2010. http://www.usenix.org/hotcloud10/cfpb Cloud computing has attracted a great deal of attention both from the research community and from industry. The cloud computing paradigm has evolved over the years from a basic IT infrastructure (data centers) to platform as a service (PaaS), and then from software as a service (SaaS) to complete service enablement on a hosted infrastructure (IaaS). At the same time, virtualization has emerged as a key enabler for the cloud computing paradigm. Several challenges arise in the design, implementation, and deployment of virtualized clouds. HotCloud will provide a forum for academics as well as practitioners in the field to share their experience, leverage each other's perspectives, and identifynew/emerging "hot" trends in this 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 * Virtual appliance management and composition * Monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure recovery * Cloud management and configuration * Programming models * Security and privacy in clouds * New applications for clouds * Mobile clouds * Cloud usage scenarios For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at: http://www.usenix.org/hotcloud10/cfpb We look forward to receiving your submissions!
