in conjunction with the 16th IEEE/ACM Utility and Cloud Computing Conference (UCC)
4-7 December 2023 – Taormina (Messina), Italy
Program
Description & Purpose
Cloud computing, virtualization and virtual (eScience) applications have been generating substantial interest in the community, and it is anticipated that this interest will keep expanding with the emergence of edge computing infrastructures, such as Fog Computing and Mobile Cloud Computing. Cloud and edge infrastructures can work together to fulfill requirements from a variety of applications, composing the so-called Cloud Continuum to the edge. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those clouds are accessed through virtualized wide area networks, where edge/fog devices can act as a first layer of computing capacity closer to the user. Management systems are essential for that and thereby for the future success of the fog-cloud hierarchy. New systems, methods, and approaches for cloud and edge computing, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussed at this workshop.
For the CloudAM 2023 workshop, researchers from Cloud/Fog/Edge 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 and fog computing environments
Cloud and fog service orchestration
Cloud and fog APIs
Cloud and fog data management
Cloud and fog scalable monitoring
Cloud and fog load balancing
Multi-cloud/Inter-clouds
Customer cloud management
Managing data centers
Management as a service

*aaS Management
Cloud and fog scheduling
Hybrid clouds
Fog and Edge computing
Cloud surveys and taxonomies
Social clouds
Business models for cloud and fog computing
Managing cloud services
Management of virtualized hardware resources
Network-specific mechanisms for optimized cloud access
Performance modeling & evaluation
QoS/QoE management in the cloud
Security and privacy in the cloud-edge hierarchy
Management tools for infrastructure virtualization
Automated resource slicing
Policy driven service/resource life-cycle management
Applications and services enabled by virtualized infrastructure
Optimization of data center and workload energy consumption
Green cloud computing
Scientific workflows on clouds
Mobile clouds and mobile edge computing
Big data / complex event processing in the cloud-edge hierarchy
Autonomic cloud computing
Cloud Continuum – IoT/Smart Cities integration
Submission
The CloudAM workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages single-spaced double-column, using ACM format. Additional pages might be purchased upon the approval of the proceedings chair.
Submission Link at easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cloudam2023
Submission is double-blind. The submitted document should not include author information and should not include acknowledgements, citations or discussion of related work that would make the authorship apparent. Submissions containing author identifying information may be subject to rejection without review. You can enable the double-anonymous mode in the LaTeX template by adding the “anonymous” option (e.g., \documentclass[manuscript, anonymous, review]{acmart}). Upon acceptance, the author and affiliation information must be added to your paper.
Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors to register for an early full and non-student fee and present the paper.
All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and proceedings will be published by IEEE and made available online via the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Digital Library.
Dates
Paper submission due: 10 October, 2023 (EXTENDED HARD DEADLINE)
Notification of acceptance: 25 October, 2023 (updated)
Final camera-ready papers due: 31 October, 2023 (updated)
Early full, non-student author registration: Please check UCC website https://ucc-conference.org/registration
