SECLOUD 2011 - ICSE 2011 Software Engineering For Cloud Computing Workshop

Cloud Computing has engendered a disruptive change in the requirements, architecture, implementation and evolution methodologies for software ? in short, it has challenged our thinking as software engineering (SE) researchers and practitioners in ways that we as a community are still scrambling to find out.

Whether you are interested in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) such as Amazon Web Services, or AWS; platform-as-a-service (PaaS) including Google App Engine or Azure; software-as-a-service (SaaS) e.g., salesforce.com; or in frameworks that enable the above like Apache Hadoop or Microsoft’s Dryad, we feel that the time is ripe to rethink SE foundations in light of the cloud.

This workshop will focus on identifying the SE for cloud “grand challenges” that lay before us. We will debate existing notions of SE for the construction of cloud services and for their deployment. We will evangelize success stories and how they were arrived at. We anticipate as outcomes the definition of a long-term concrete SE research agenda for cloud, and the sharing of existing SE for cloud “tribal knowledge” that can be applied in the short-term.
