Workshop on Software Engineering Challenges of Cloud Computing
in conjunction with the 31st International Conference on Software
Engineering (ICSE)
May 23rd, 2009, Vancouver, Canada
http://www.icse-cloud09.org
Overview:
-------------
Cloud Computing has emerged as a new paradigm for deploying, managing
and offering services through a shared infrastructure. The projected
benefits of cloud computing are very compelling both from a cloud
consumer as well as a cloud services provider perspective: ease of
deployment of services; low capital expenses and constant operational
expenses leading to variable pricing schemes and reduced opportunity
costs; leveraging the economies of scale for both services providers
and users of the cloud. However, the actual realization of these
perceived benefits are far from being well-achieved and pose a broad
range of interesting questions.
Call for papers:
Our goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners to
facilitate
stimulating discussions on the following three aspects:
1. Programming Models:
To avoid the pitfalls of heterogeneous programming paradigms, what are
the software engineering challenges that developers face when
targeting the cloud as their production environment to offer services?
2. Service Management:
How is cloud computing going to address the challenges around soaring
service management costs?
3. Cloud Services:
What are the new business models for services that could optimally
leverage cloud economies of scale?
We are soliciting contributions from both academia and practitioners
on these three topics. We are encouraging contributions of short
vision papers or practical experiences (6 Pages) and full papers (max
14 pages)
with high quality research contributions and experimental results. All
papers should be in the two-column IEEE format, as required for the
ICSE (see http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/events/icse2009/calls/format/).
Papers must be submitted in PDF format, using the EasyChair website
at: https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=icsecloud09
