ORMACloud 2017 - Workshop on Optimisation techniques for Resource Management and Application orchestration in Cloud Computing

The OrmaCloud workshop will focus on management and optimization issues related to dependability, scalability, economicity and performance at each level of cloud computing infrastructures, but also on green computing concerns, i.e. issues related with energy efficiency and carbon footprint limitation. The workshop aims at providing a venue for investigating and discussing these issues and state of the art techniques to solve them from a number of different viewpoints. Like:
Different Cloud Platforms:single-tenant Clouds, Cloud brokering platforms, Cloud Federations;
Features required by Scientific, Real-time, 24/7, and Big Data Applications, as well as other classes of Applications;
CloudRM and advanced QoS management for performance, networking, power efficiency, security, reliability;
Unified programming models and impact of the IaaS/PaaS interaction on CloudRM;
Supporting techniques and methodologies for CloudRM: resource mapping and scheduling, autonomic management, service monitoring and modeling;
Interplay of CloudRM and Cloud business models;
Topics of Interest
According to the above desciption, the topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to:
Optimization Algorithms for CloudRM in Clouds, Cloud Brokers and Cloud Federations
CloudRM solutions targeting specific classes of applications including Scientific, Real-time, 24/7, and Big Data Applications
