We'd like to invite you to attend the 3rd USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Cloud Computing (HotCloud '11), taking place in Portland, OR, June 14-15, 2011.

HotCloud '11 will discuss challenges in the cloud computing paradigm, including the design, implementation, and deployment of virtualized clouds.

The program includes:

-- Refereed paper sessions on scheduling and resource management, economics, security, OSes and frameworks, and more

-- Joint ATC, WebApps, and HotCloud Keynote Address: "An Agenda for Empirical Cyber Crime Research," by Stefan Savage, UCSD

-- Joint ATC, WebApps, and HotCloud Invited Talk: "Helping Humanity with Phones and Clouds" by Matthew Faulkner and Michael Olson, Caltech

-- Panel

-- Poster Session: This session provides an opportunity to present early-stage work and receive feedback from the community. Posters provide a great way to have more in-depth conversations between authors and audience--so much so that we are automatically granting each accepted paper a poster slot. We welcome submissions from those who are not paper authors also. The submission deadline is Monday, May 30, 2011, at 3:00 p.m. PDT. Find out more at: http://www.usenix.org/events/hotcloud11/poster.html
