Call For Papers - IEEESC2 2017 in Kanazawa, Japan, November 22-25, 2017 The 7th IEEE International Symposium on Cloud and Service Computing（IEEE SC2 2017） http://grid.chu.edu.tw/sc2-2017 Kanazawa, Japan, November 22-25, 2017 --------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------- The “Cloud” is a natural evolution of distributed computing and the widespread adaption of virtualization and SOA. Services computing is a new cross-discipline subject that covers the science and technology needed to bridge the gap between business services and IT services. In cloud computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as services, via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without requiring detailed knowledge of the underlying technology. SC2 2017 is an important forum for researchers and industry practitioners to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of IT-driven cloud computing technologies and services, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future directions of cloud and services computing. IEEE SC2 2017 will be held on Nov. 22-25, 2017 in Kanazawa, Japan. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cloud architecture - Cloud OS, middleware, and toolkits - Storage architecture - Big data infrastructure, systems, methodologies, and applications - Virtualization techniques - Resource provision, monitoring, and scheduling - Privacy and access control for cloud computing - Performance evaluation and modeling measurement for cloud computing - Programming models for building cloud applications - Networking in cloud computing - Security, privacy and trustworthy in clouds - Security, privacy and trustworthy for service oriented architectures and systems - Energy efficient hardware and software solutions - High availability and reliability - Large scale cloud applications - Internet/web computing and data mining - Volunteer and utility computing - Green and pervasive computing - Service oriented architecture - Discovery of services and data in cloud computing infrastructures - Foundations of services computing - Services-centric business models - Business process integration and management --------------------------------------- PUBLICATION HIGHLIGHTS --------------------------------------- IEEE CS proceedings, indexed by - IEEE Xplore - Scopus - Compendex EI - ACM Digital Library - DBLP - Google Scholar Extended version of the selected papers will be invited for publication in prestigious international journals. -Cluster Computing (Springer) -Journal of Supercomputing (Springer) -Vehicular Communications Journal (Elsevier) -Journal of Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences -International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science -Future Generation Computer Systems (Elsevier) -International Journal of Grid and High Performance Computing (ESCI, EI, Scopus) -International Journal of Big Data Intelligence -Sustainability -Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing -China Communication ---------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Tutorial / Workshop / Special Session Proposal Due: May 29, 2017 Paper Submission (Research Track): July 15, 2017 Paper Submission (Works-in-Progress/workshop): Aug 10, 2017 Author Notification (Research/workshop/WIP): Aug 30, 2017 Paper Submission (Demo /Poster /Special session): Sept 5th, 2017 Author Notification (Research/workshop/WIP/Poster): Sept 20, 2017 Camera ready / registration deadline: October 1, 2017 --------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION --------------------------------------------- Papers need to be prepared according to the IEEE format, and submitted in PDF format via the IEEE SC2 2017 submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sc22017 IEEE formatting information: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html ------------------------------- Organizing Committees ------------------------------- General Chairs Keqin Li, State University of New York at New Paltz, USA Ren-Hung Hwang, National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan Christophe Cerin, Université Paris 13, France General Executive Chairs Tokuro Matsuo, Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology, Japan Robert Hsu, Chung Hua University, Taiwan Program Chairs Amir H.
