Call for Papers

ALGOCLOUD welcomes submissions on all theoretical, design, and implementation aspects of modern cloud-based systems. We are particularly interested in novel algorithms in the context of cloud computing, cloud architectures, as well as experimental work that evaluates contemporary cloud approaches and pertinent applications. We also welcome demonstration manuscripts, which discuss successful elastic system developments, as well as experience/use-case articles. Contributions may span a wide range of algorithms for modeling, practices for constructing and techniques for evaluating operations and services in a variety of systems, including but not limited to, virtualized infrastructures, cloud platforms, datacenters, cloud-storage options, cloud data management, non-traditional key-value stores on the cloud, HPC architectures, etc.
TOPICS

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic aspects of elasticity
Search and retrieval algorithms for cloud infrastructures
Scale-up and -out for NoSQL and columnar databases
Resource provisioning and management
Monitoring and analysis of elasticity for virtualized environments
Analysis of containerized applications
Cloud deployment tools and their analysis
Query languages and novel programming models
Content delivery through cloud infrastructures
Load-sharing and caching for cloud systems
Data structures and algorithms for eventually-consistent stores
Scalable access structures and indexing for cloud data-stores
Algorithmic aspects for cloud apprlications
Machine learning, analytics and data science
Resource availability, reliability and fail-over
NoSQL and schema-less data modeling and integration
Consistency, replication and partitioning CAP
Transactional models and algorithms for cloud data-stores

PROCEEDINGS

Proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag after the workshop takes place.
