SOSeMC 2016 - Self Organizing Self Managing Clouds Workshop (SOSeMC 2016)

The ongoing adoption of Cloud Computing has lead to an increase in the level of complexity of the existing services and inherently new challenges for companies willing to migrate in order to benefit from this new paradigm. Due to this evolving complexity of heterogeneous clouds, new approaches based on the principles of self-management and self-organization are foreseen, such that one can limit the burden of low-level service management (such as provisioning, scheduling, optimization, orchestration etc.), and offer rather a high-level approach with increased accessibility to heterogeneous resources, and reduced effort for development, deployment or optimization.
This workshop intends to bring interested researchers from around the world to explore the challenges and opportunities that exist in relation with the hot topics that can be identified in cloud self-management and optimization, in order to meet the needs of modern cloud applications.
Topics of Interest
It will cover a challenging range of topics including, but not necessarily limited to:
Self organizing and self managing of heterogeneous clouds
Applications and case studies of end-to-end implementation of cloud management systems
Self management and organization under some physical assumptions
Support for heterogeneous resources in cloud, resource characterization
Self optimization of clouds
Big data placement, scheduling and optimization
Large-scale big data workflow management
Dynamic resource allocation on demand
Novel Cloud Architectures, Infrastructures and Workflows
Anomaly detection and monitoring in cloud environments
Data-intensive applications
