15^thIEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC2022)

December 6-9, 2022 - Portland, Oregon, USA

Call For Papers

The digital transformation of all areas of life is accelerated in this decade by novel cloud services, e-infrastructures, data platforms and cyber-physical system integration. This broader scope of cloud computing calls for technically sound contributions that combine scale with convenience and reliability. Society and economy depend on cloud applications delivering compute power on demand in every location along data paths as a general service to the public, in analogy to conventional utilities. The engineering of such systems and applications calls for scientifically proven approaches, methods, tools and technologies.

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

• Formal and qualitative aspects of Cloud technology
• Security, trust and privacy in Clouds, and Cloud-hosted Blockchains
• Architectural models and patterns to achieve Utility in Clouds
• Cloud business and legal implications beyond technology
• Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services at all layers (XaaS)
• Cloud large-scale foundations for Big Data, IoT, and real-time analytics
• Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, and monitoring
• Cloud-native application design, engineering and serverless/microservice implementation
• Cloud, Fog and edge/mobile devices management, hierarchy models, and business models
• Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid, federated, aggregated
• Economic and business models of Clouds and services
• High Performance Computing and the Cloud
• Innovative cloud applications and experiences
• Integration of Cloud systems with Fog/edge and IoT devices, continuum computing
• Leading edge topics such as hybrid quantum clouds, coded computing and FHE
• Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds
• Networking for clouds and data centres
• Performance analysis and modelling of cloud systems and applications
• Policy languages and programming models
• Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing
• Resource management and scalability: brokering, scheduling, capacity planning, and elasticity
• Utility-driven platforms for Clouds
• Utility-driven models and mechanisms for interclouds / federations
• Virtualization, containerization, composition, orchestration and other enablers

Paper Submission

Submitted manuscripts must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Manuscripts are submitted in PDF format and may not exceed ten (10) ACM-formatted *double-column* pages, including figures, tables, and references. The limit is six (6) pages for workshop papers.
