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 Computing Paradigms and Practices
Cloud AI
Cloud Security and Privacy
Cloud Computing Enabling Technology
Services, Platforms and Applications

Conference Chair(s)
Rajiv Ranjan, Newcastle University, United Kingdom
