CLOUD 2011 Sponsorship Program

“Change we are leading” is the theme of CLOUD 2011. 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). 

Based on the technology foundations and industry driving forces, the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2009) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud Computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Cloud Computing.  CLOUD 2009 is the hot-topic conference co-located with the 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009). The two well-established theme conferences, the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2009) held in July 2009 in USA and the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009) held in September 2009 in India, also enjoyed the success of launching CLOUD-I 2009 and CLOUD-II 2009.  CLOUD 2009 was jointly sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC) and Services Society. As a community, we have accomplished very well around CLOUD 2009's theme "Change We Can Lead" in 2009.

In July 2010, CLOUD 2010 was co-located with IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2010), IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2010), and IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2010) in Miami, Florida, USA. Three cloud-centric keynotes were delivered: "Cloud Computing in an Outcome Centric World," "Securing Data in the Cloud-Challenges and Research Directions," and "Thinking outside the Box: How Cloud, Grid, and Services can Make Us Smarter."  

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.
