Cloud computing promises a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. The cloud model implies rapid elasticity, greater flexibility and reduced overheads for the end-user, on demand services and a service-oriented architecture. Cloud services are currently among the top-ranked high growth areas in Computing and seeing an acceleration in enterprise adoption with the worldwide market predicted to reach more than $140b in 2014. New trends continue to emerge (e.g. Amazon EC2 spot instances), while issues such as security and privacy continue to challenge user adoption.

This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of cloud services and systems, to share their experiences, exchange new ideas as well as to identify key emerging topics and define future directions.
