SCOPE

The cloud computing market is in rapid expansion due to the opportunities to
dynamically allocate a large amount of resources when needed and to pay only for
their effective usage. However, many challenges, in terms of interoperability,
performance guarantee, and dependability, should still be addressed to make
cloud computing the right solution for companies, research organizations, and
universities.

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry
interested in the design, implementation, and evaluation of services and
mechanisms for dependable cloud computing in a multi-­cloud environment.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Service Level Agreements in clouds
- Trust and reputation in cloud computing
- Security and privacy aspects in cloud computing
- Risk assessment and management in cloud computing
- Availability of cloud services
- Reliable cloud computing
- Dependable performance for cloud applications
- Federation of heterogeneous clouds
- Design of dependable multicloud applications
- Interoperability
- Resource Management
- IaaS and PaaS business models
- Cloud standards and best practices
