The 6th International Workshop on Autonomic Management of high performance Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC'18)

=== Overview ===
AMGCC'18 workshop (http://htcaas.kisti.re.kr/wiki/index.php/AMGCC18) will be held in Trento, Italy on September 7, 2018, as part of the Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS* 2018), and co-located with IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2018).

Grid computing leverages enormous computing resources scattered over the internet in order to integrate and form a large-scale computing platform to solve grand-scale problems. Grid computing also has had great influence on the cloud computing besides the virtualization technology which logically decouples the physical computing resources with the computing system. Consequently, the cloud computing provides cost-effective, fast, and unlimited virtualized resources for large-scale applications. Cloud computing is also used as “utility computing” where the computing services are provided on-demand and as needs based. Thus, it is commonly deployed for various applications these days.

Managing hybrid, virtualized computing resources in a large-scale cloud computing environments, however, still leaves a lot of research to be conducted. Furthermore, autonomous managements of resources in such a large scale federated hybrid computing infrastructures are crucial. In this workshop, we would like to bring researcher around the world to discuss and communicate the challenges and research results in the design, implementation, and evaluation of novel autonomous hybrid cloud resource management systems, and the theory and practice of cloud and grid resource management.
