@cloudcom2013
Sponsored and hosted by HP Labs
General Information
--------------------------IEEE CloudCom is recognized as the main regular conference worldwide on multiple dimensions of Cloud
Computing. It attracts researchers, developers, users, students and practitioners from the fields of big
data, systems architecture, services research, virtualization, security, privacy and high performance
computing, with an emphasis on how to build cloud computing platforms with real impact.
The conference provides a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals. This year the
quality of papers has been really high, with over 330 submitted papers and a full paper acceptance rate
of 17.8%.
Keynote and plenary sessions

Topics of Interest
-----------------The “Cloud” is a natural evolution of distributed computing and of the widespread adaption of
virtualization and SOA. In Cloud Computing, IT-related capabilities and resources are provided as
services, via the Internet and on-demand, accessible without requiring detailed knowledge of the
underlying technology. The IEEE International Conference and Workshops on Cloud Computing
Technology and Science, steered by the Cloud Computing Association, aim to bring together researchers
who work on cloud computing and related technologies.
Conference themes include:
 Cloud architecture
 Big Data
 Security and Privacy in the Cloud
 Cloud services and Applications
 Virtualization
 HPC on Cloud
 IoT and Mobile on Cloud
Live demos and poster sessions will be taking place at the conference on 3 and 5 December.
There will be a PhD Consortium and eight workshops co-located with CloudCom 2013, focusing on
specific topics, as follows:

Social Events
------------------ Drinks reception and tours of the SS Great Britain - a museum and former passenger steamship,
previously the longest passenger ship in the world, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for
the transatlantic service between Bristol and New York. She was the first iron steamer to cross
the Atlantic in 1845, in just 14 days.
 Gala dinner at the Grand Pump Room and tour of the historic Roman town of Bath. Roman baths
were part of the day-to-day life in Ancient Rome, and this is one of the best examples of a Roman
bath complex in Europe.
 Plus the additional opportunity of a trip to the Druid monument Stonehenge. One of the most
famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within
earthworks, raised between 2400 and 2200 BC. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of
Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
