Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation and submission can be found at www.servicescongress.org.

The Cloud Industry Summit gives industry participants a forum to formally present their work at the conference but with only a lightweight submission compared to a full paper. A two-page abstract is required and will be published in the proceedings. We hope this forum will provide an outlet for industry participants to engage with academics and others from industry working in related areas.
This 8th Global Cloud Industry Summit is intended to bridge the gap between Services Computing and Business models that are supported by them, with an emerging suite of ground-breaking technologies that includes cloud computing, SOA, business process modeling, big-data analytics and Web 2.0. Best practices of these emerging technologies, standards and concepts need to be clarified for the pragmatic needs of the industry.

Theme

The CIS event is focused on industry practitioners who work on real-world systems, applying the SOA principles, cloud-computing technologies, and big data analytics solutions. In addition to best practices or, in the case of an emerging discipline, adequate practices that have proven successful are needed. In addition warning examples of how not to apply projects are also welcome because they provide a venue and context for avoiding common pitfalls. These papers will be evaluated on their relevance and significance to industries and the clarity of expression. 

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be included in the IEEE digital library and Engineering Index (EI) database.
