9th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing

The IEEE International Conference on Web Services (CLOUD) has been a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of cloud computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of cloud computing.

Cloud Computing has become a scalable services consumption and delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualizations of hardware and software. The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. The resource sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g., hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g., Application as a Service, UML modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g., business process as a service).

In 2016, CLOUD 2016 will co-locate with the following service-oriented sister conferences: the 23th IEEE 2016 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2016), the 13th IEEE 2016 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2016), the 5th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Services (MS 2016), the 5th International Congress on Big Data (BigData Congress 2016), and 2016 IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2016) The six co-located theme topic conferences will all center around “services,” while each focusing on exploring different aspects (cloud-based services, web-based services, business services, mobile services, Big Data-based services, and industry-specific services and emerging service-oriented technologies). CLOUD 2016 will grow itself to continue to be the most prestigious professional conference dedicated to cloud computing.
