SmartCloud 2017 - 2nd IEEE International Conference on Smart Cloud 2017 (SmartCloud 2017)

2nd IEEE International Conference on Smart Cloud 2017 (SmartCloud 2017) is the next edition of a series of academic events focusing on the cutting edge technologies in cloud computing, which will be held at Columbia University in November 2017. The prior edition was held in New York from November 18th to November 20th 2016, which had attracted high-quality research papers highlighting the most recent work across various aspects in cloud computing, from innovative systems to empirical studies. The conference received over 190 technical papers, out of which fewer than 56 were accepted as full papers. Succeeding SmartCloud 2016, the conference committee decides to have a new edition this year and intends to involve more enthusiastic students who have passions of digging deep knowledge development in the cloud realm.
As a novel technology, cloud computing implementations have been booming in recent years. Align with the development of data mining and big data, cloud computing has been an efficient approach for delivering intelligent services and forming advanced distributed systems. Empowering the existing infrastructure by using cloud computing techniques has been considered a dramatical significant issue for both acadamia and industry. Therefore, making cloud computing "smart" has a giant demand in multiple fields, from telehealth to e-learning, from vehicular systems to mobile applications.
IEEE SmartCloud 2017 aims to collect recent academic achievements in novel techniques, developments, empirical studies, and new developments in cloud computing. Innovative technical applications in clouds are highly encouraged. The objective of IEEE SmartCloud 2017 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange their new ideas, novel results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of smart computing and cloud computing. All accepted papers will be indexed by EI.
