[HTCondor-users] IEEE Cloud Engineering 2017: Industry Track Call for Papers

[David Irwin <irwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

5th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E 2017)Â

CALL FOR INDUSTRIAL TRACK PAPERS

April 4-7, 2017, Vancouver, Canada [http://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2017]

The 5th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E) seeks to provide a high-quality and comprehensive forum, where researchers and practitioners can exchange information on engineering principles, enabling technologies, and practical experiences related to cloud computing. By bringing together experts that work on different levels of the cloud stack - systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, and applications, IC2E offers an end-to-end view on the challenges and technologies in cloud computing, fosters research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society.

The IC2E 2017 Industrial Track invites papers emphasizing practical experiences, real-world applications and emerging challenges in the industry on topics of interest that are similar to those in the general conference call for papers. All accepted papers will be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings. The industrial track aims to enable broader industry participation. It provides a forum for the discussion of practical issues running cloud platforms or services, and sharing of information and best practices among developers, practitioners, service providers and cloud operators.
