SoCC 2015 - 2015 Symposium on Cloud Computing

The scope of SoCC is broad and encompasses diverse data management and systems topics such as software as a service, virtualization, scalable cloud data services, and data management and analytics at scale. Many facets of systems and data management issues must 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
Distributed and Cloud Networking
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
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 in 10-point type using the templates available below.
A submission to the symposium may be one of the following types:
Research papers (short or long): Original research work in the broad area of cloud computing. We solicit both full papers (12 pages) and short papers (6 pages). The former will tend to be descriptions of complete technical work, while the latter will tend to be descriptions of interesting, innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature.
Industrial papers (short or long): Presentations describing experiences with deployed, state-of-the-art cloud systems. As for research papers, industrial papers can be either long papers or short papers.
Vision papers (short): Speculative but well-reasoned, thought-provoking essays. We will only consider short papers in this category.
All SoCC submissions will be held to a high quality standard, and evaluated based on their originality, technical merit, topical relevance, value to the community, and likelihood of leading to insightful technical discussions at the symposium. Submissions will be kept confidential. On rare occasion, long submissions may be accepted as “short” papers (pending authors’ approval and significant shortening).
All papers must be submitted by 20:59:59 PM PDT on April 24th, 2015. No extensions will be permitted. Page count and formatting limits will be strictly observed.
Posters and demonstrations: Researchers and practitioners wishing to showcase and get feedback on work that is in an early stage, and hence not yet ready for publication as a paper, are invited to submit a proposal for a poster, optionally accompanied by a demo. See the call for posters for more information.
All papers (long and short) accepted at the conference will be required to also present a poster during the poster session.
Authors of VLDB 2015 papers on topics relevant to the SoCC community are encouraged to submit a poster on the topic of the VLDB paper
