Description:
Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm that aims to streamline the on-demand provisioning of software (SaaS), platform (PaaS), infrastructure (IaaS), and data (DaaS) as services. Deploying applications on a cloud can help achieve scalability, improve flexibility of computing infrastructure, and reduce total cost of ownership. However, a variety of challenges arise when deploying and operating applications and services in complex and dynamic cloud-based environments, which are frequent in enterprises and governments.
The Clouds for Enterprises (C4E) 2011 workshop will be held on Monday 5 September within the 13th IEEE Conference on Commerce and Enterprise Computing (CEC 2011) in Luxembourg. The goal of the workshop is to bring together academic, industrial, and government researchers (from different disciplines), developers, and IT managers interested in cloud computing technologies and/or their consumer-side/provider-side use in enterprises and governments. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the inter-disciplinary and multi-perspective exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of open cloud research and adoption/exploitation issues.
Therefore, this is workshop is open to all interested IT professionals interested in cloud computing technologies or consumer-side/provider-side uses of clouds in enterprises and governments. However, each workshop participant must pay the registration to the whole IEEE CEC 2011 conference (see http://www.tudor.lu/cms/cec2011/content.nsf/id/Registration).
Note that all paper submissions to the workshop were formally peer-reviewed by 3-5 Program Committee members or external reviewers and that the selection of papers to be accepted into the workshop was competitive. All accepted papers (both full and short) will be published by the IEEE in the proceedings of the IEEE CEC 2011 conference (incl. all workshops) and made available through the IEEE Xplore digital library.
