----------------------------------------------------------------------- CFP *Last Call* - EAI CloudComp 2023 The 12th International Conference on Cloud Computing (EAI CloudComp 2023) https://cloudcomp.eai-conferences.org/2023/ 25-26, October, 2023, Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *Submission Deadline: 20 May, 2023 (AoE)* -----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Scope #

As a novel computing paradigm, cloud computing has changed the world tremendously in the past two decades. It offers scalable computing and storage resources as services to support various applications cost- effectively and flexibly. It has also promoted the proliferation of big data analytics and deep learning in the last decade. Currently, cloud computing is continuing to power and drive technological development and advances in various areas such as industrial manufacturing, medical healthcare, intelligent transportation, smart city, e-government, e-commerce, and e-finance, etc. It is also the backbone for emerging edge/fog computing technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, which constitute a rapidly-evolving ecosystem that profoundly changes the world’s IT landscape and people’s lives.

CloudComp 2023 aims to bring together researchers and industry developers to discuss and share their recent viewpoints and contributions to cloud computing, It aims to present recent theories, experiences, and results obtained in a wide area relevant to computing, giving researchers and industrial practitioners an opportunity to gain in-depth insight on the current and futuristic cloud computing technologies.

# Paper Submission #

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Regular papers should be up to 12-15+ pages in length. • Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length. . Please note that regular papers should be 10-20 pages in length. This conference uses single-blind review model. Reviewers are . anonymous to authors, names and affiliations of authors are shown to the Program Committee.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
