CNAX 2016 - First International Workshop on Cloud Native Applications Design and Experience

As more and more applications and data are shifted to online hosting services, predominantly at commercial cloud providers, the adaptation of applications to these environments becomes a major concern. Risks include temporary or permanent unavailability of services, sudden popularity spikes, overpayment due to not exploiting flexible hosting options as well as unauthorised access to the data. New application architectures, so-called cloud native applications based on microservices, are therefore becoming more popular. The fine-grained decoupling of application parts with partial offloading into the cloud becomes a major concern for developers and development tooling providers. The industrial relevance of this topic is on the rise, in particular with the recent formation of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Edge topics such as user-controllable stealth computing across hybrid clouds are already on the horizon of cloud native researchers. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers to propose and demonstrate novel methods of safely running applications, processing data and offering services on industry-leading cloud platforms.
Workshop topics
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research manuscripts, experience reports and experimental results that demonstrate current research in all areas of cloud applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
cloud-native application designs
application decomposition into microservices
service-oriented systems to enable and support cloud-native applications
deployment with orchestrated containers
high availability and reliability hosting schemes
resilience and fault-tolerant storage and computation
user control and feedback during the entire application lifecycle
innovative use of PaaS and IaaS interfaces
multi-service programming techniques
multiplexed, dispersed and stealth computing approaches for high-quality applications
combined compute and storage service systems for data-intensive applications
advanced pro-active reliability concepts, monitoring and anomaly detection
self-organisation and self-management for cloud services and applications
application and data offloading
