Multi-Cloud 2013
1st International workshop on multicloud applications and federated clouds
Co-located with ICPE 2013, 22 April 2013.
Prague, Czech Republic.
---------------------
Cloud computing is becoming day by day wider providing a vibrant technical
environment where innovative solutions and services can be created. Cloud
promises cheap and flexible services to end-users. However, Cloud business
models and technologies introduce critical issues, such as proprietary API,
lack of interoperability, unpredictable performance, and unexpected outages.
The abilities to use multiple Clouds and to migrate, at design or at
run-time, applications from one Cloud to another could mitigate the risk of
Cloud adoption and would allow building high performance and reliable
applications.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
who investigate concepts, models and tools for running applications on
multiple and heterogeneous Cloud systems. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:
· Performance, availability, and scalability of Cloud services ·
Model-driven design for multi-cloud applications · Dynamic capacity
allocation and load balancing for applications running on multiple Clouds ·
Auto-scaling techniques · Cloud federations and interoperability among
Clouds · Job scheduling and workload placement in multi-cloud environments ·
Architectures for self-management of applications exploiting multiple and
federated Clouds · Self-management solutions for multi-Clouds and run-time
selection of Cloud services · Portability of Cloud based applications ·
Open-source support for Cloud computing · Early prototyping, automatic code
generation, and automatic deployment of applications on multi-Clouds · Risk
analysis for Cloud, multi-Cloud and federated systems
Intended audience
------------------
Researchers and practitioners, both from the Academia and from the Industry,
working in the areas of Cloud system development, performance evaluation and
management, model-driven design, and self-adaptation.
Paper submissions
-------------------
Original contributions are invited to be reported to the event. The paper
