About ACM SAC 2025
For the past thirty-nine years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary confluence for researchers in applied computer science, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers worldwide. SAC 2025 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP).
Track on Cloud Continuum
The ACM SAC 2025 Track on Cloud Continuum welcomes paper submissions on all aspects of cloud computing research and applications, emphasizing those describing research on different forms of virtualization techniques as applied to systems computing.
Cloud computing has become a common commodity with many different providers and solutions. Several new models are being developed and applied to ensure scalability, quality of service, and resilience. The models focus both on the providers, optimizing the use of their infrastructure, and on the users' side, optimizing the response times and/or costs. This scenario is becoming more complex with the possibility of having computing power close to the users on edge/fog models. All this scenario can be seen as the Cloud Continuum.
There are already some conferences that have the Cloud Continuum in their call-for-papers. However, only some of them have explicitly focused on the applications, the goal of our track. We aim to attract a broader range of papers, from software engineering to High-Performance Computing applications. All of them will be discussed in the Cloud Continuum scenario.
The following list includes some of the major topics that we plan to focus on this year in this track.
Energy Efficiency
AI-powered Services
Security
IoT Applications
Architectural Models
Serverless Computing
Elasticity
Storage virtualization
Sustainable Models
Programming Models
QoS for Applications
Optimization and Performance Issues
Communication Protocols
Big Data
High-Performance Computing Applications
Innovative Cloud Applications and Experiences
Availability and Reliability
Microservices
New models (like spot instances)
Frameworks and APIs
HPC as a Service
This track welcomes all related research to Cloud Continuum, including theoretical models, algorithms, benchmarks, practical results, experiments, and frameworks for cloud computing applications.
Submission Guidelines
The submissions should be in electronic format (PDF), based on original, unpublished work. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. Only the title should be shown at the first page without the author's information. Peer groups with expertise in the tracks focus areas will blindly review submissions. Accepted papers will be published in the annual proceedings and ACM digital library. Submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2025 Website.
Prospective papers should be submitted to the track using the EasyChair submission system. Regular papers and Poster papers are limited to 8 and 3 pages, respectively. A few key words should be provided. A paper cannot be sent to more than one track. Original manuscripts (regular papers) should be submitted in electronic format here on the Cloud Continuum Track.
The authors of the best works accepted into ACM SAC Cloud Continuum Track will be invited to submit an extended version of their articles, with at least 40% new content, to a special edition of the Future Generation Computer Systems journal.
Important notice for the authors
Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library.
Important dates
October 13th October 4th September 20, 2024: Submission of regular papers
November 20th October 30, 2024: Tentative notification of paper acceptance/rejection
November 29, 2024: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers
December 6, 2024: Author registration due date
March 31 - April 4, 2025: Conference days
