SOCC 2011 CFP

Overview

The ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing 2011 (ACM SOCC 2011) is the second in a new series of symposia with the aim of bringing together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners interested in cloud computing. This series is co-sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups on Management of Data (ACM SIGMOD) and on Operating Systems (ACM SIGOPS). ACM SOCC is held in conjunction with ACM SIGMOD and ACM SOSP Conferences in alternate years. In 2011 it will be held in conjunction with ACM SOSP.

The scope of SOCC Symposia will be broad and will encompass diverse systems topics such as software as a service, virtualization, and scalable cloud data services. Many facets of systems and data management issues will need to be revisited in the context of cloud computing. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to:

Administration and Manageability	Data Privacy
Data Services Architectures	Distributed and Parallel Query Processing
Energy Management	Geographic Distribution
Grid Computing	High Availability and Reliability
Infrastructure Technologies	Large Scale Cloud Applications
Multi-tenancy	Programming Models
Provisioning and Metering	Resource Management and Performance
Scientific Data Management	Security of Services
Service Level Agreements	Storage Architectures
Transactional Models	Virtualization Technologies

The SOCC 11 submission instructions can be found here.

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. This website will be updated with addition details of the submission procedure. A submission to the symposium may be one of the following three types: (a) Research papers: We seek papers on original research work in the broad area of cloud computing. The length of research papers is limited to twelve pages. (b) Industrial papers: The symposium will also be forum for high quality industrial presentations on innovative cloud computing platforms, applications and experiences on deployed systems. Submissions for industrial presentations can either be an extended abstract (1-2 pages) or an industrial paper up to 6 pages long. (c) Position papers: The purpose of the position papers is to expose a new problem or advocate a new approach to an old idea. Participants will be invited based on the submission's originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful technical discussions at the symposium. The position papers can be no more than 6 pages long. SOCC will use single blind review.
