The Third IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2010)

July 5-10, 2010, Miami, Florida, USA

http://thecloudcomputing.org/2010

(Download a full-page color poster (in November 2009 and December 2009 Issues of the Communications of ACM and IEEE Computer) for the largest Services Computing event in 2010!)

http://thecloudcomputing.org/2010/ServicesComputing-ACM.pdf

http://thecloudcomputing.org/2010/ServicesComputing-Computer.pdf

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (IEEE Computer Society), the Third IEEE 2010 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2010) will be co-located with the 6th IEEE 2010 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2010), the 8th IEEE 2010 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2010), and the 7th IEEE 2010 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2010) to grow itself to continute to be the most prestigious professional conference dedicated to cloud computing.

"Change we are leading" is the theme of CLOUD 2010. Cloud Computing has become a scalable services consumption and delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualizations of hardware and software. The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. The resource sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g. hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g. Application as a Service, UML modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g. business process as a service).

In the fast growing Services Computing community, we have launched a series of events to promote and grow Cloud Computing in the past years. In 2002, we promoted Business Grid to share business processes and applications. In early 2008, The IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) has adopted Cloud Computing to be included in the taxonomy as a body of knowledge area of Services Computing. In July 2008, the IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2008) has delivered a keynote panel "Business Cloud: Bridging The Power of SOA and Cloud Computing" and a keynote "Cloud Computing". In September 2008, the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2008) has delivered a keynote "Web Services: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Communication, and Beyond" and a panel "Cloud Computing and IT as a Service: Opportunities and Challenges" to further motivate the community members to define Cloud Computing in various areas.

Based on the technology foundations and industry driving forces, the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2009) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud Computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Cloud Computing. CLOUD 2009 is the hot-topic conference co-located with the 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009). The two well-established theme conferences, the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2009) held in July 2009 in USA and the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009) held in September 2009 in India, also enjoyed the success of launching CLOUD-I 2009 and CLOUD-II 2009. CLOUD 2009 was jointly sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC) and Services Society. As a community, we have accomplished very well around CLOUD 2009's theme "Change We Can Lead" in 2009.

To discuss this emerging enabling technology of the modern services industry, CLOUD 2010 invites you to join the largest academic conference to explores modern services and software sciences in the field of Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default discipline in the modern services industry.

CLOUD 2010 tries to attract researchers, practitioners, and industry business leaders in all the following areas to help define and shape cloud computing, and its related modernization strategy and directions of the services industry. You are invited to submit research, engineering, and business innovation papers to the following areas:

•Infrastructure Cloud

•Software Cloud

•Application Cloud

•Business Cloud

•Service-Oriented Architecture in Cloud Computing

•Vituralization of Hardware Resources

•Virtualization of Software Resources

•Cloud Computing Consulting Methods

•Design Tool for Cloud Computing

•Maintenance and Management of Cloud Computing

•Cloud Computing Architecture

•Cloud Applications in Vertical Industries

Paper Submission and Review Process

Please use the submission page (http://www.thecloudcomputing.org/2010/submission.html) to find the right tracks and events to submit your papers.

All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. Please note that the same paper should NOT be submitted to other conferences or events simultaneously. Such duplicate submissions will be rejected from all conferences without review.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to the conference and present the paper. Only the accepted and presented papers will be published in the CD-ROM version and online version of the Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2010), which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Extended versions of selected best papers published in CLOUD 2010 will be invited for potential publication in the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR), the International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM), and IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC). The CLOUD 2010 Proceedings is expected to be included in EI Compendex and other indexing systems. JWSR is indexed in SCI-E and EI Compendex.

Submitted manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages and required to be formatted using the IEEE Proceedings template. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word format) is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation and submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, and review process can be found from this web site.

Paper Review Policy

IEEE CLOUD 2010's Policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents of papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access providers. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice.

Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers. An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission of the final manuscript.

Library Technology Conference, 2010 ­ Call for Proposals The Library Tecchnology Conference 2010 Committee invites you to submit proposals for presentation at the Library Technology Conference to be held at Macalester College, St. Paul MN, March 17-18, 2010.  To submit a proposal, please visit the conference website at: http://digitalcommons.macalester.edu/cgi/siteview.cgi/libtech_conf , and click "Information for Presenters".  Those who wish to submit a proposal must create a free account on the Digital Commons site.  Proposals will be accepted until Friday, November 20th, 2009.     ABOUT THE CONFERENCE This popular and growing two-day conference is now in its third year.  The conference includes keynote, concurrent, hands-on and poster sessions highlighting many of the technologies affecting how users interact with libraries, as well as how libraries are using technology to create new and better ways to manage existing resources. This Conference is an opportunity for library staff and the technologists who support them to discuss how these technologies are affecting library services; to see examples of what libraries are doing with these technologies; and to allow participants to learn specific skills or knowledge that they can take back and adapt for use within their own library.  Sessions are geared toward all types of libraries, a wide range of topics and varying skill levels. Conference sessions will include a mix of traditional lecture-style presentations, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and poster sessions. Anyone interested in the changing technologies that are affecting libraries should plan to attend. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR FROM YOU: We are looking for a balance of sessions that will appeal to a broad library audience and provide a combination of “right now” solutions and “see the future” technology presentations.  Projects can be already implemented or still in process. Long-term experiments that stretch the boundaries of how we work, or will work, in libraries, as well as “out of the box” solutions and ideas for libraries struggling to keep up are welcome topics.  What has worked for you?  Why? What brought you to that solution?  What benefits has it provided to your organization? POSSIBLE PROGRAM TYPES: Traditional Session - 60-minute lecture-style presentation highlighting a technology resource or service.  Workshop Session - 90 minute session offering participants a hands-on experience working with a technology or learning details of a service. Be sure to tell us if there is a maximum number of participants you feel would be appropriate.  Available lab space may ultimately decide the class size.  Group / Panel Discussion - 90-minute group discussion involving a variety of presenters focusing on single topic or specific technology-based service or innovation; should also include an opportunity for audience discussion. Poster Session - posters and handouts describing and explaining a technology resource or service offered in a library.  PRESENTER COMPENSATION: Presenters who participate in a presentation or poster session will be given one- or two-day registration, based on these guidelines: •  If presenting a fulll session, a presenter will be given free registration for both (2) days of the conference.   •    If an institution submits a panel foormat with three (3) or more participants from the same institution in the same session, each panel representative will be given free registration for one (1) day only.  If you have questions or if we can be of assistance as you prepare for your presentation, please contact: Laura Wight at laura.wight@sdstate.edu
