1st International Workshop on Uncertainty in Cloud Computing (UCC 2017)
August 28 - 31, 2017, Lyon, France

The “1st International Workshop on Uncertainty in Cloud Computing” (UCC’2017) is an opportunity for researchers to publish their original research works that deal with uncertainty issues in various cloud computing topics. UCC'2017 will introduce participants to the concept of “Uncertain Cloud”. Cloud computing is an emerging technology that offers various services on demand. The correct characterization and management of Cloud environment objects (clouds, data centers, providers, services, data, users, etc.) is the first step towards effective provisioning and integration of cloud services. However, Cloud computing environment is often subject to uncertainty. This could be attributed to the incompleteness and imprecision of Cloud available information, as well as the highly dynamic environment. Cloud services are associated with some uncertainty in their information, including QoS levels, users rating, available resources, workload and performance changes, dynamic elasticity, availability zones, service descriptions, etc. Also, the highly dynamic cloud environment adds a new factor of uncertainty, as it may have a negative impact on the quality of cloud services and, consequently, on services provisioning and integration. This uncertainty regarding the cloud services context raises a question about how to trust the available cloud information and brings additional challenges to the cloud actors. Therefore, the need to handle uncertainty in the context of cloud environments is of paramount importance to maintain the sustainable use of such technology.
