CCCA 2013 - First International Workshop on Cloud Computing and Cloud Applications(CCCA’13)

CCCA’13 brings together scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners from academia and industry working on cloud computing technologies. Cloud computing has gained attraction over the past few years, becoming a viable alternative to dedicated data centers and enabling the launch of many prominent companies. Cloud computing systems offer users flexible access to computing, data resources, communication networks, services and applications. The increasing deployment of cloud applications has created demands for designing a reliable, secured, and efficient cloud system. Still, many challenges remain in the design, implementation, and deployment of cloud computing.
CCCA’13 provides forum for both academics and practitioners to share their experience, put forward their perspectives, and identifying new / emerging trends in the cloud computing domain. Cloud applications come with various needs for example, some require intensive computing resources, while others emphasize on data storage and with a certain level of data protection. Hence, it is challenging to design a cloud computing system that can meet various requirements from diverse cloud applications and services.
