 Optimization for performance, QoS
 Cloud-based application, platform, infrastructure management
 Storage and network management
 Tolerance management for clouds
 Management processes and technologies, system frameworks and architectures
 Self-optimization components and services
 Monitoring, modeling, estimation for optimization of management
 Economic models and management
 Optimization models and algorithms
 Hierarchical and decentralized optimization
 Predictive optimization
