Scope and motivation:

Cloud Computing Systems offer users flexible accesses to computing, data resources, communication networks, services, and applications. The increasing deployment of cloud applications has created demands for designing a reliable, secured, and efficient cloud system. Cloud applications come with various needs. Some cloud applications require intensive computing resources, while others may emphasize on data storage and with a certain level on data protection. Therefore, it is challenging to design a cloud computing system that can meet various requirements from diverse cloud applications and services. The first International workshop on Cloud Computing Systems, Networks and Applications (CCSNA-2013) will be a forum for scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to present their latest research results, ideas, and developments in Cloud computing system and network designs that can support existing and future applications and services.

Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:
Cloud computing systems and networking - principles, designs, analyses, and performance
