Journal Special Issue: IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing (TCC) is organising a Special Issue which encourages submission of revised and extended versions of 2-3 best papers (based on votes of a panel) in the area of Cloud Computing from our conference. The special issue also seeks direct submission of papers that present 'new' ideas for the first time in TCC. All papers will be peer-reviewed and selected competitively based on their originality and merit as per requirement of TCC. All queries on this special issue should be directed to its guest editors. Details on this special issue will be informed about in a separate Call for Papers.
Call for Workshops: UCC welcomes co-located workshops on emerging and hot challenges around Utility and Cloud Computing. Individuals interested in organising a workshop are encouraged to consult the separate Call for Workshops.
