Scope and Objectives

“Cloud” is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible infrastructure, hiding most of the implementation and deployment details of the system from users. Cloud computing delivers IT-related capabilities as services over the Internet, allowing resources be managed and accessed in an Internet scale. It enables services that require vast and dynamic computational or storage resources e.g. business tools, social networks, mobile services.

The workshop focuses on methods, techniques, tools and frameworks that address challenges of Cloud Computing services and their interoperability, in particular in relation to data management, processing, security and interchange.

This workshop aims to providing a forum to bring together researchers and practitioners for sharing cloud computing related research, developments, experience, and lessons for building Clouds of interoperability and coordination capabilities.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Interoperability and Federation Protocols

Middleware Frameworks

Broker, Exchange, and Arbitrage Architectures

Converged Implementations of Clouds, Grids and Mainframes

QoS/SLA in Interoperable and Federated Clouds

Service-oriented Computing on the Cloud

Directory of Services and Services Coordination

Management of Clouds and their Interoperability and Federation

Interoperable and Federated Cloud Security, Trust and Privacy

Governance and Regulatory in Cloud Interoperability and Federation

Geo-balancing in Interoperable and Federated Clouds

Common Programming Models across Clouds

Processing of Data across Clouds or Services

Data Maintenance, Management and Sharing

Consistency Models

Migration to Cloud

User Experience on Cloud and Services

Mobile Services, Processing and Coordination
