Description
Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications are currently hot topics and have been generating substantial interest in the community, and it is anticipated that this interest will expand. It is also important to the research community as it is challenging traditional methods by its sheer size and high level of automation. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those clouds are accessed through virtualized wide area networks. Management systems are essential for that and thereby for the future success of the cloud paradigm. New systems, methods, and approaches for cloud, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussed at this workshop.
For the CloudAM 2015 workshop, researchers from Clouds and (eScience) Applications communities are encouraged to submit and present original work to be considered for publication. Overall topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Cloud computing environments
- Cloud service orchestration
- Cloud APIs and usage control
- Cloud data management
- Cloud scalable monitoring
- Cloud load balancing
- Multi-cloud/Inter-clouds
- Customer cloud management
- Managing data centers
- Management as a service
- Management of virtual slices
- *aaS Management
- Application and Management Portals
- Cloud Scheduling
- Hybrid Clouds
- Fog Computing
- Cloud case studies
- Cloud surveys and taxonomies

Paper Submission
The Clouds and Applications Management workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages IEEE style (single-spaced 2-column text using 10-point size type on A4 paper). Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer.
- Electronic submission only (via submission server)
- Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper
- All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be published in IEEE Xplore
- Selected (extended) papers should be invited to submit to a high quality Journal special issue
Selected (extended) papers will be invited to submit to a Special Issue in Cloud Computing of the Elsevier's Computers and Electrical Engineering journal. Invited papers will undergo standard review process.
