CLOUD 2011 Applications and Industry Track

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). 

The applications and industry track of CLOUD 2011 will be the forum for high-quality presentations on innovative applications and engineering solutions leveraging Cloud Computing. These include Cloud Computing specifications and enhancements, Cloud Computing discovery and integration, Cloud Computing security and QoS, Cloud Computing standards and technologies, Cloud Computing applications and solutions, Cloud Computing realizations, mobile Cloud Computing applications, and other emerging technologies or solutions.

You are welcome to send email with any questions you might have as you prepare your submission to the industrial program chairs at cloud.ieeecs AT gmail.com .

Authors should submit application and industry track papers (8 pages MAXIMUM) with the same formatting rules as research papers. Like research track, 2-3 reviews of submissions will be provided to authors during notification. Acceptance criteria will be innovativeness of software, solutions, services and the potential of impact. Please use the dedicated CLOUD 2011 Industry Track Conference Management System to submit your industry track papers.

Note: Please do NOT submit your industry track papers to the regular research track. The review process of research track and industry track will be synchronized by Program Chairs and Industry Track Chairs. Double submissions will be automatically rejected without review. 

CLOUD 2011 will be co-located with the 7th IEEE 2011 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2011), the 9th IEEE 2011 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2011), and the 8th IEEE 2011 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2011) to grow itself to continue to be the most prestigious professional conference dedicated to cloud computing.
