6th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems
IS: Crossroads of Technology, People, Organizations and Markets
Limassol, Cyprus - September 3-5, 2011

TRACK: Cloud Computing
Track Chairs: Ivona Brandic, Vienna University of Technology, Austria;
George Pallis, University of Cyprus, Cyprus; Rizos Sakellariou,
University of Manchester, U.K.
Cloud Computing is a recent trend in information technology and
scientific computing that has the potential to change radically the way
computer applications and services are constructed, managed and
delivered. The key driving forces behind the emergence of Cloud
Computing include the overcapacity of today’s large corporate data
centers, the ubiquity of broadband and wireless networking, the failing
cost of storage, and progressive improvements in networking technologies.
Currently, the main technical underpinnings of Cloud Computing
infrastructures and services include virtualization, service-oriented
software, Grid computing technologies, management of large facilities,
power efficiency etc. The emergence of Cloud Computing promises to
streamline the on-demand provision of software, hardware, and data as a
service, achieving economies of scale in the deployment and operation of
information systems. The pay-as-you-go model and rapid provisioning can
result in more efficient resource utilization and reduced costs. Cloud
Computing opens new perspectives with profound implications in
information systems, raising new issues in their architecture, design,
and implementation.
This track aims to promote the state of the art in scientific and
practical research of the Cloud-based information systems. It provides a
forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia,
industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work
and share knowledge and experiences of the tools, techniques,
technologies, models and methodologies that lead to better information
and service provisioning in the Cloud. Position, experience and survey
papers are very welcome. Specifically, areas of interest are the
following (but not limited):
•Architecture and management of Cloud Computing infrastructures;
•Cloud Computing programming and application development;
•Experience reports with Cloud Computing Infrastructures;
•Cloud Computing and Information Systems;
•Cross-platform interoperability;
•Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), business models and pricing policies;
•Content and service management in Cloud Computing infrastructures;
•Power-efficiency and Cloud Computing;
•Enterprise Cloud Computing;
•Privacy, security, ownership and reliability issues.
