Fourth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing (SoCC)

October 1st-3rd 2013, Santa Clara, California, USA

Web Site: http://www.socc2013.org

The ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing 2013 (ACM SoCC 2013) will be the
fourth in a series of symposia that brings together researchers,
developers, users, and practitioners interested in cloud computing. ACM
SoCC is the premier conference on cloud computing; it is the only
conference co-sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups on Management
of Data (SIGMOD) and on Operating Systems (SIGOPS). In 2013 SoCC will
again be held in Silicon Valley at Santa Clara University.

The scope of SoCC is broad and encompasses diverse systems topics such as
software as a service, virtualization, and scalable cloud data services.
Many facets of systems and data management issues must be revisited in the
context of cloud computing. Suggested topics for paper submissions include
but are not limited to:
* Administration and Manageability
* Data Privacy
* Data Services Architectures
* Distributed and Parallel Query Processing
* Energy Management
* Distribution and Cloud Networking
* High Availability and Reliability
* Infrastructure Technologies
* Large Scale Cloud Applications
* Multi-Tenancy
* Programming Models
* Provisioning and Metering
* Resource mgmt. and Performance
* Scientific Data Management
* Security of Services
* Service Level Agreements
* Storage Architectures
* Transactional Models
* Virtualization Technologies

Paper submission:
** Deadline: July 2 at midnight PST.
** Notification of acceptance/rejection will occur by September 1.
Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being
considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should be
submitted in PDF format and formatted in 10-point type using the LaTeX
templates available at http://www.socc2013.org/home/call-for-papers. A
submission to the symposium may be one of the following types: (a)
Research papers: We seek papers on original research work in the broad
area of cloud computing. The length of research papers is limited to
twelve pages (excluding references). (b) Industrial papers: We also
welcome submissions that describe experiences with deployed,
state-of-the-art cloud systems, that are of value to the community.
Industrial paper submissions may be up to twelve pages long (excluding
references), though shorter papers (e.g., six pages) will also be
considered. (c) Vision papers: Speculative but well-reasoned,
thought-provoking essays of up to six pages in length (excluding
references). All SoCC submissions will be hel!
d to a high quality standard, and evaluated based on their originality,
technical merit, topical relevance, value to the community, and likelihood
of leading to insightful technical discussions at the symposium.

Tutorial proposals: Those wishing to give a tutorial at SoCC 2013 should
submit a two-page proposal to the co-program chairs via email:
pc-chairs@socc2013.org.
