15th International Conference on Cloud Computing: Services and Architecture (CLOUD 2026)
June 27 ~ 28, 2026, Copenhagen, Denmark
Scope & Topics 15th International Conference on Cloud Computing: Services and Architecture (CLOUD 2026) helps enterprises transform business and technology. Companies have begun to look for solutions that would help reduce their infrastructures costs and improve profitability. Cloud computing is becoming a foundation for benefits well beyond IT cost savings. Yet, many business leaders are concerned about cloud security, privacy, availability and data protection. To discuss and address these issues, we are inviting researchers who focus on cloud computing to shed more light on this emerging field.
