CfP: 11th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) https://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2023/, Boston, MA, USA (Sept. 25-29, 2023)

###TOPICS OF INTEREST###
IC2E provides a high-quality and comprehensive forum where researchers and practitioners can exchange information on engineering principles, enabling technologies, and practical experiences related to Cloud Computing. The conference brings together experts who work on different levels of the cloud stack – including systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, applications, and software engineering. IC2E offers an end-to-end view of the challenges and technologies in Cloud Computing, fosters new research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps to shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society.

IC2E 2023 invites submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully-developed results and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The IC2E Program Committee will interpret "cloud engineering" very broadly – to include everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, and advances that target different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. In particular, submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities are encouraged.

Authors can choose to submit their papers under either the Research or Industry Track. Submissions are invited on the following (non-exhaustive list) of topics for both tracks:
* Cloud Management and Engineering
* Cloud Applications
* Cloud Systems
* Fog and Edge Computing
For a full list of the topics, please visit https://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2023/. IC2E is looking for the following three types of paper submissions:
* Research papers describe original well-evaluated research. Novelty is a key criterion in the review process.
* Vision papers describe speculative but well-reasoned and inspiring papers. Here, the insights and clarity of the vision are of key concern.
* Industry and experience papers describe how existing research has been transferred into practice. The review focus is on the lessons learned, including those relevant for researchers.

Research and vision papers should be submitted to the research track, industry and experience papers to the industry track. Vision papers should have "(Vision Paper)" as a subtitle on the first page.

###SUBMISSION###
Both Research Track and Industry Track papers should use the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings for formatting. LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}, without including the compsoc or compsocconf options. As reviewers often ask for additional content, IC2E differentiates between paper formatting for reviewing and for the final published version:
* Full papers: For reviewing, full papers (including figures and tables) should not exceed 9 double-column pages; references can be additional pages. For the final published version, full papers are limited to a total of 12 double-column pages including everything.
* Short papers: For reviewing, short papers are limited to 5 pages, not including references, and should be clearly marked as such in the title. For the final published version, short papers are limited to 8 pages, including everything.

All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the paper type, submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted manuscripts must contain original contributions, and their contributions must not have appeared in or be under consideration for publication in another workshop, conference or journal. Papers are submitted via EasyChair https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ic2e2023

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed). Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version in a special issue of the Springer-Nature "Computer Science" journal. For publication, each accepted paper is required to be registered by one of its authors. At least one author is required to attend and present the paper at the conference for the paper to be included in the final technical program and the IEEE Digital Library.
