The second international FedICI'2014 workshop on Federative and interoperable cloud infrastructures,
August 25-29, 2014, Porto, Portugal
organized in conjunction with Euro-par 2014
Workshop theme
==============
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud systems allow the dynamic creation, destruction and management of Virtual Machines (VM) on virtualized clusters. IaaS clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to the end user that allows the creation of on-demand services through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. As a result, many academic infrastructure service providers have started transitions to add cloud resources to their previously existing campus and shared grid deployments. To complete such solutions, they should also support the unification of multiple cloud and/or cloud and grid solutions in a seamless, preferably interoperable way. Hybrid, community or multi-clouds may utilize more than one cloud system, which are also called as a cloud federations. The management of such federations raise several challenges and open issues that require significant research work to be done in this area.
This workshop will provide a dedicated forum for sharing the latest results, exchanging ideas and experiences, presenting new research, development and management of interoperable, federated IaaS cloud systems. The aim of the workshop is to help the community with defining the current state, determining further goals and presenting architectures and service frameworks to achieve highly interoperable federated cloud infrastructures. Priority will be given to submissions that focus on presenting solutions to interoperability and efficient management challenges faced by current and future infrastructure clouds. Selection will prioritize papers that document and present measured comparisons or practical information on realistic, real-world solutions.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation and relevance to the topics of interest.
Scope
==============
Papers may be submitted on any topic relevant to the theme of the workshop, including but not limited to:
Case studies of interoperable and federated solutions across multiple infrastructures including mixed grid and cloud systems
Application programming interfaces and standards for interoperability and federation
Federation-compatible service agreements, SLAs and quality of service systems
Virtual machine scheduling, management and deployment algorithms in federated systems (considering multi-objective solutions, scalability, energy efficiency etc.)
Accounting, identity management and security solutions that support federation-level models
Legal issues and data privacy in federated Cloud management
Performance evaluation, prediction and comparison of federated cloud systems
Storage management, focusing on interoperability and multi cloud placement
Novel IaaS architectures incorporating federative constructs in their foundations
Virtual appliance marketplaces and repositories meeting the demands and serving multi-cloud systems
Submission guidelines
=====================
Authors are required to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on Federative and interoperable cloud infrastructures. Manuscripts should be limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format and submitted through the EasyChair submission system (during submission please don't forget to select the track of the workshop). Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published in revised form in a special Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the Euro-Par conference.
