The Call for Industry Track Papers is now closed for UCC 2013.
In addition to scientific papers (see Call for Papers), UCC welcomes practically motivated research results from companies and government IT organisations, industrial experience reports and industrial-strength tutorials on hot topics of Utility and Cloud Computing. Submissions to the Industry Track are expected to be short papers of two pages which will be subject to review. The selection will be based on relevance, technical quality and appearance. Each submission should describe the problem, the approach used, the current state of the project, an evaluation of the benefits or lessons learnt, and future developments.
Accepted papers will be presented as short talk in an Industry Track session as part of the regular conference programme. Industry Track papers will not be published as part of the proceedings, but distributed on-site in a separate booklet. Tutorials will provide participants with valuable hands-on experience in software and services related to Utility and Cloud Computing and are open to both industrial and academic practicioners.
The range of topics for Industry Papers and Industrial Reports includes, but is not limited to:
- Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing, including pricing and service models
- Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds
- Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid, federated, aggregated
- Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services at all layers (XaaS)
- Virtualisation technologies and other enablers
- Economic models and scenarios of use
- Scalability and resource management: brokering, scheduling, capacity planning, parallelism and elasticity, as well as marketplaces
- Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, performance models and monitoring
- Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e-science) and business
- Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds
- Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction especially in Utility contexts
Industry Track Submission Information: Authors are invited to submit papers electronically to the Industry Chair in IEEE double-column format (see Call for Papers for formatting details and template links). Submitted papers must represent original practical research or industrial experience reports that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. The proceedings will be distributed on-site in a booklet.
