iVCE 2015 - International Workshop on Internet-based Virtual Computing Environment

Ith the fast development and wide application of computing and network technologies, the Internet has become an important information infrastructure for modern society. Today, there are unprecedented amount of resources over the Internet, e.g. content, storage, computing powers and even human presence, there is an increasing need to build large-scale parallel and distributed system over the Internet to utilize various idle resources to get better overall performance, or simply get the task done.
Resources over the Internet have such intrinsic characteristics as growth, autonomy and diversity, which have brought many challenges to the efficient sharing and comprehensive utilization of these resources. Researches and applications during the past twenty years show that there are essential differences between the Internet environment and the traditional computer environments. A basic conclusion is that the traditional resource management in a single computer will be no longer suitable for the Internet. The computing environment that does not adapt well to the intrinsic characteristics of the Internet is the bottleneck for the effective sharing and utilization of the Internet resources.
It solicits research papers, experience reports, and workshop papers on various aspects of Internet-based Virtual Computing Environment (iVCE) as well as its applications on various domains. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Architecture of Internet-based virtual computing environment
Resource virtualization, organization and collaboration
Programming models, languages, tools and platforms
Security, dependability, and reliability
Trust, reputation and incentive mechanism
Computational properties and theories of Internet computing
Software engineering for Internet applications
