NCCA 2015 - 2015 IEEE Symposium on Network Cloud Computing and Applications

The 4th edition of the Symposium on Network Cloud Computing and Applications, to be held in Munich - Leibniz Supercomputing Center of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities - on June 11-12 2015, builds on the success of the previous editions till 2014. The conference is devoted to promoting the diffusion of research results in the area of networked applications and cloud computing. The perspective of the conference is oriented to the study of how distributed applications and distributed platforms, or even their support, can be designed or reshuffled and/or optimized in order to take full advantage from cloud technologies. The conference focuses on both architecture/protocol design and quantitative studies and assessments.
Core topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following ones:
Cloud Computing Infrastructure
- Operating systems; - Control services;
- Distributed infrastructures; - Distributed composite services;
- Kernel-exchange modules; - Application exchange modules;
- Basic services; - Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) for Cloud Computing.
Scalable, Self-managing and Autonomic Cloud Computing platforms
- Dynamic instantiation; - Vertically scaling platforms;
- Dynamic composition; - Self-managing platforms;
- Dynamic configuration; - Dynamic reconfiguration of services;
- Horizontally scaling platforms; - Self-Healing Cloud computing platforms;
- Software Defined Networks (SDN) - Proactive management of cloud resources based on Machine Learning.
for Cloud Computing;
Security of Cloud Computing Platforms
- Authentication;
