Scope:

The International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER), focuses on the highly important area of Cloud Computing, inspired by some latest advances that concern the infrastructure, operations, and available services through the global network. Further, the conference considers as essential the link to Services Science, acknowledging the service-orientation in most current IT-driven collaborations. The conference is nevertheless not about the union of these two (already broad) fields, but about Cloud Computing where we are also interested in how Services Science can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage, market and study various aspects of Cloud Computing.

CLOSER is organized in 5 major tracks:
Cloud Security and Privacy
Cloud Computing Paradigms and Practices
Cloud AI
Services, Platforms and Applications
Cloud Computing Enabling Technology

Conference Chair(s)
Radu Prodan, University of Innsbruck, Austria
