Scope:
Cloud computing has gained great attention form both, academia as well as from Industry. The Cloud Computing and Networking Symposium (ICNC-CLD) will address on topics related to all the broad aspects of the infrastructure which includes computing centers and data centers, the cloud network, and its end-user services. The challenges on architecture, its performance, reliability, security, maintainability and the virtualization of the cloud are all very important fields to discuss at the symposium. Contributions devoted to the evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of Cloud Computing and Networking for current technologies, as well as solutions for emerging areas from physical layer technology to the application layer, are solicited.
To ensure complete coverage of the advances the Cloud Computing and Networking Symposium presents original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas:

- Cloud computing programming and application
- Cloud technologies
- Computing Centers
- Data as a Service
- Data Centers
- Discovery of Services, Data and other Resources
- Fault-Tolerance, Reliability and Consistency Models
- Infrastructure Platform Application Integration
- Mobile clouds
- Models for Managing Clouds of Clouds and its Inter-networking
- Monitoring, Control and Management
- Networking Architectures in Clouds
- Peer to Peer Aspects
- Performance Models and Evaluation
- Platform as a Service
- Principals of Virtualization
- Public versus Private Areas in Clouds
- Scalability of Clouds and it Networks
